So Cool!

I got my Holiday Gift Exchange present from Katye last week! It is so cool! Katye is one special person! I don't know her very well but I can just tell she has a genuine caring side to her. She wrote me the sweetest note that really couldn't have come at a better time. So thank you, Katye! If you haven't checked out her blog do so! She is doing her first half marathon this weekend, the Disney Half Marathon! So head over and wish her luck!!!

She gave me this awesome Bondi Band which I wasn't sure how to wear exactly, so I took a few pictures. It was so cute that I wore it with jeans one day and The Hubs, who NEVER notices anything of the sort, commented "Cute band". I KNOW! WOW! That is like a seriously BIG deal! He 1) noticed and 2) called it "cute". :)








So along with the bondiband I got some oh-so-good smelling hand sanitizer and this super cool compact mirror! I haven't actually had one of these in years and I have missed it SO much and didn't even realize!







Thank You Katye!!!


Today I ran into a store, because it was raining. I ran about 100 yards and was totally winded, light headed, and just plain tired. I have a lot of catching up to do, when I can. I have to try not to get discouraged for now, I know it is the strong medication that has zapped my energy and put the dark circles under my eyes. Once I am off the meds I am sure I will be feeling much better. Patience. That is on my list of resolutions for 2010: Have patience.

I have committed to Mel's 1000++ in 2010 challenge! Can I run 1000 miles? Maybe I did last year, I should log into my Garmin site and add them up. Speaking of Garmin, my ANT Agent stick broke (the thing that connects my watch to the computer). So today I ordered a new one from the site. Has anyone had to do this before? Anywho, back to the 1000 miles! OMG! What have I done!? how on EARTH am I going to run 1000 miles?! Well, it will be a fun challenge and I look forward to trying my hand at 1000 miles.

Today I am grateful for:
A new haircut.
A new year and a fresh start.
Friends near and far!

And I am always grateful for the opportunity to win cool stuff! Robbin over at Running Circles Around the Turtles is hosting her first giveaway! Head over to check out her Sweet Schwag Giveaway! Let her know that i sent ya! Shannon is also hosting a giveaway for a RoadID! I NEED this people!! Totally need this! But hurry,I am sure you need it too! :) It ends Thursday at 11:59 PM!

Run Happy!

  11. OH I really like the Bondiband! I'm gonna have to snag me one in a little while! I'm totally scared to run 1000 miles. Is it even possible without marathon training? I'm on track for 500. So I'm just gonna stick with that!

  16. Amanda, you'll be surprised how possible it will be for you to run 1000 miles! You can do it!!

  18. Cute pictures. Love the band. (And that hubbs noticed!)

    You will totally get there - feeling better and those 1000 miles, it's just one step at a time.

  19. Oh buddy...you have ME up close and personal to help you stay on track.. WE WILL make it, even if we have to run 20++ on 12/31..heheh!!

    Love the Band, gosh I WANT I WANT..

    No worries about the training. I am going to play it week to week and may end up diverting and meeting up with you and Zoe or Charity.. Can you tell I am a little worried I won't like it? I think it is because the owner is WEIRD!! And I am pretty sure I would end up running with him. Time will tell..

  20. It's only January 5th I'm sure you will make those 1000 miles this year!

    It's a bit too much for me, I'm aiming for something between 400 and 500 miles.

  23. I love the Bondi Band! Had never even heard of one until seeing it here but I'm totally going to invest in a couple for myself.
