The perfect survival Kit

Since I am a teacher this was perfect!

"Teacher’s Survival Kit: • Animal cookies for when your classroom seems like a zoo.• Band-Aids for when things get a little rough. • Chewing Gum to help you stick to it. • Crayons to color your day bright and cheerful. • Candle for when you are up late marking or planning. • Smarties because that's who your teaching. • Time Out bar because you'll probably need it by the end of the day. • Eraser to remind you everyone makes mistakes.• Lifesavers for when you've had one of those days. • Marbles to replace the ones you've lost. • Paperclips to hold it all together. • Pencil to "write your wrongs." • Rubber band to remind you to be flexible. • Shiny Penny to remind you that each will shine in his or her own special way.• Starburst to give you a "burst" of energy when you need it. • Tissues to wipe away the tears...yours and theirs. • Toothpicks to help you "pick" out the good qualities in others and yourself.• A prayer for you to say at the start of each day."                 

This pretty much sums up my day everyday, is it worth it?  YES, every second of it!  I love my job (working with kids) I can't imagine me doing anything else!  On another note!

I went running to night and ran a PR!  It was suppose to be a normal running night and for some reason I was ready to run!  I ran my 5K in 26:13!  At one point I looked down and was running a 7:50 pace!  YEA!  I have been trying to run my small runs much faster so that my long runs are a tad bit easier!  So far it has worked out!  This weekend I am running a 5K for a good cause!  Its going to be so much fun!  Not only because it's a race, but I get to run with some of the BHC girlies!



After I got my hair did and my ran I decided to reward myself with my favorite thing to do...EAT!
cucumbers and tomatos with season salt!  I made a meal out of this!! :o)

 I love Pinterst... there fitness pins motivate me! 

Have a GREAT HUMP Day!

Texas Tech Lunar Lope 5K

Last night was the Texas Tech Lunar Lope!  John, Boss and I got there at 8:30 to pick up my t-shirt and then waited around until 10:00 for the race to start!  I have NEVER ran a race that I didn't have a bib number or anything and I wasn't 'running' an actual race.  It was just a *FUN* run!  I kind of liked it!  I ran for me! I haven't ran much lately (like in the last 4 weeks) so it was fun just to get out and run!  The race was around the Tech campus!  The moon was really neat last  night!
 The neat shirts we got!!
 Me and one of my best supporters, Boss!!
 We all wore these neat little glow stick bracelets!!

Have you ever ran a "fun" run?
-First one and I like it!

Have you ever ran a race at night?
-First time last night and it was fun, still hot, but fun!

Ok, I want some ideas of some summer dinners!
Tonight we are grilling tilapia!
What are some of your summer recipes?
