5k fun!

so last november i decided that if i can sit on my bum for a half hour and watch tv, i can get outside and run. so i found a pretty rockin running plan (couch to 5k) and went with it. now most people don't think that running in the middle of winter is fun, but i apparently do and officially started my way back to being the runner chic i once was during the first snow of the season. since then, i have graduated myself from the couch to 5k plan to training for my first half marathon. go me!

i've run 2 5ks so far this summer and hope to add a few more before its all said and done.

Frank: Ms G, can I go to the bathroom?
Ms. G: Frank, if you didn't spend the entire passing period talking to girls you'd have plenty of time to go to the bathroom
Jan: But, some girls are pretty!

During ISATs as I'm testing an 8th grader 1:1
Me: Hey Peter, guess what?
Peter: Chicken butt?
Me laughing: Uh, no...but good guess.
Peter: What?
Me: You're more than halfway done with this test.
Peter: Oh yay!
