Snow Day Video and Girls Night Out/In
I promised the girls a girls night out...that was before I knew we were going to get hit with a snow storm. They still wanted to go out, so we did...to the closest food place around and then we went shopping for goodies - and spent the evening baking and playing at home.
We set up a hair salon and did each others hair.
It's still snowing outside. Yesterday, Cowtown announced the cancellation of the 5K and 10K races. Now, there is a possibility that they will cancel the marathon races. Stay tune!

Sunshine Smiles, Birthday Dinner, Race Results & Official Pics
If this picture doesn't make you happy, I'm not sure there is a picture out there, that will.
Last week, was my younger sisters birthday. She's 20 years, young. Basically, a baby. I took her to Hacienda San Miguel's resturant, Saturday night, after I ran Rockledge Rumble 50K. I think I over did it that day, but it was totally worth it, to have some girl time with my sister.
I ordered pork tacos. It was delicious. Afterwards, we went out for coffee and gelato.
P.S. Rocklege Rumble Race Results are posted. And my race proofs are also posted. I look exhausted in them. The photos were taken right as I was about to cross the finish line. I was running up a flight of stairs. It's ok if you laugh at me and my --- I'm ready to collapse form.
Enjoy!

Youth America Grand Prix
Friday, was a girls night for Dakota, Chey and I. We drove to Irving to watch the YAGP. It's the world's largest student ballet competition.The atmosphere was fun, but you could tell the dancers meant business. Over the course of 3 hours, we saw three dancers fall during their routine.
We stayed for several hours. I started off, sitting near the stage, but then I moved to a box seat, where I figured, we wouldn't be bothering or distracting the dancers, if Cheyenne started talking or Dakota started to fuss. We sat in the box seats for about an hour and then eventually, we moved to the very back of the theater. There weren't a ton of kiddos there, but there were enough, so I didn't feel strange taking mine. After all, it is a student ballet competition with ages ranging from 9 years old to 19.
We happend to watch 13 - 16 year old dancers.
Intermission...
During Intermission, Cheyenne had to show me her dance moves.
And Dakota broke out her yoga poses.
A few weeks ago, I wrote a blog post about the documentary First Position. That movie is about YAGP competition. If you haven't seen the movie, you should!

Cotton Bowl, Best Running Week (since forever), Girls Night & More
Friday, Cheyenne hung out with the boys at Cowboys Stadium. This marks her third year to attend the Cotton Bowl.
They got to the stadium early to watch the pep rally. I think Trey has a video of it, I'll see if I can get it from him and post it, here.
Here's a look back at previous Cotton Bowl Games:
(2011) This was taken outside the house, right before they headed off to the game.
The past two years, she's taken food inside the stadium, but she's getting to the age, where she can't really get away with that.
(2012)
She has a good memory because she asked us if she could take food to the game - like before. Not this year, baby.
Before the game the guys and Chey went to guitar center. A worker gave Chey a pair of drumsticks.What in the world is she suppose to do with those????
While they were out doing their thing. My niece, Dakota and I had a girls night out. Our first stop was In-N-Out Burger. The fries are so-so, but I'm obsessed with the protein style burger. Have you tried it??? Amazingly good and cheap!
Afterwards, we went to the mall and got Dakota's ears pierced. When she got her first ear pierced, she had a delayed reaction. It took her about 15 seconds before she started to cry. After a a minute or so, she stopped crying and she was back to her normal self.
I got my ears pierced when I was older and it didn't hurt. If you had your ears pierced and you were old enough to remember, I'd be curious to know if you remember it being painful.
She hasn't been pulling on her ears, so to her, everything seems the same.
From girls night/In-N-Out talk and now running talk
Good news, this is the first week I reached -- actually I exceeded the 30 mile mark (for the week), since mid-February. That was the week I ran Cowtown! Here's to starting off the year right. Maybe 30 miles can be the new norm. My body feels good. I don't feel like I'm over doing it. I ran 4 miles this morning and I took my time, since I ran 10 miles, yesterday. I think that's the key - just listening to your body. The next few weeks, I'd like to make 10 miles my standard long run distance, at least for a while - until I'm ready to bump it up. Hmmm, it sounds like a good plan, but will it stick?
Oh, I also managed to do some yoga. It feels good to stretch!
When I don't feel like running, I tell myself:
You can go as slow as you want, just run! What do you guys think about this quote? I like it!
These girls are also my motivation. I want to stay strong and healthy for them. I also want them to see that healthy living is an everyday thing, not a "oh, every blue moon I feel like working out," type of thing. Sure it's about fun, but as unsexy as it sounds, it's also about disciple.
Suck it up, buttercup!
Okay, that's enough fitness talk more sweet pictures of my girls.
Hmmm, that's an awkward photo.

5 am Date at Waffle House
For about a week, Trey and I have been planning to go out to breakfast. Well, this morning we actually woke up early enough to go. It was 5 am and we ate breakfast before Trey had to go to work and I had to come home and pack for the weekend.
At the moment, I'm at the house waiting for the painters. I can't wait until their done and they haven't even started.
Last night was a good girls night out. It was my first one with this group of girls. For the most part, they are all in their mid 20s with kids. Some of the conversation inevitably gravitated on the subject of children. And it got me thinking about my new role as a mother and the change it will have on my life. Things will change drastically in a matter of weeks. I'm gradually saying goodbye to my life as I know it and at the same time celebrating what lies ahead.

The Painters are Coming and Everything Work Related
The painters will start on the nursery this Friday. I'm going out of town this weekend and I'm hoping by the time I get back, they'll be done. I'll be going to Abilene for a family wedding. Trey will stay behind, something about work and a fantasy football draft. Yeah, work...right.
So, my weekend will start soon and I'm looking forward to it. Tomorrow, I'm going to a girls night out and I'm so ready for some fun after a long week at work.
I'm not complaining about it, I'm just ready for a break before the floodgates open Monday morning (the beginning of the fall semester). We've had high traffic and busy hours and it's only been orientation week.
It's been funny, seeing the returning students. They all look surprised when they see my belly. Oh, you're expecting! When are you due? How do you feel? The OB nursing faculty have asked me if I would like to volunteer in class. They would like the students to do an assessment on a real pregnant woman and I fit the the description. Between taping classes and everything in between, I'm not sure my schedule will allow it, but I really want to participate in their learning experience.
