Sara's Journey: Busy but Fun Weekend

I can't believe it has been 6 days since I last blogged! I guess time flies when you are busy!!! So much has been going on, I can't keep track of everything. I had Saturday and Sunday off this weekend (No Padoodles!) but I still was crazy busy and barely home. I got up at 5:45 am on Saturday to go over to my sister's and go walking with her. She is training for a 60 mile breast cancer walk and I am training for my second half marathon. So we walked 5 miles in 1 and 1/2 hours...not too bad. Then I went back to her house and showered to get ready for my niece, Linsey's 5th birthday party! It was fun but after they all left, it was nice for some peace and quiet! I stayed for a little bit longer and then I came home. I was tired and I ended up taking a 2 hour nap, it was great!!! Jill and I got groceries and then I attempted to finish an assignment for Monday (and I just handed it in, good thing it wasn't due until midnight tonight!!)! Sunday was full as well. I went indoor rock climbing with my friends Lacey and Michelle. It was alot of fun! I am afraid of heights and since I have never done this, I was a bit unsure but once I got up there once, I didn't even think about the height after that! It probably helped that I was hooked to rope and I knew I wouldn't free fall and get hurt!! I did get some things done last night like laundry but I was in bed by 9:30 because 5:45 comes very quickly the next morning.

I have been getting up at 5:45am at least 3x/week to go running when it is cooler and this way I can come home after work and do other things like HOMEWORK and stuff around the house. And since I only have TEN DAYS left of my summer classes, I am swamped with work. Getting up at 5:45am is the only way I can get my exercise in and it also increases my productivity throughout the rest of the day. I was always complaining that I never had enough time in the day and now I do. The only downfall is I get less sleep but oh well, I can sleep when I am dead (or on weekends...lol)!!!!

Here are some pictures from Linsey's birthday and indoor rock climbing...ENJOY!!

Linsey, I can't believe she's 5!!!
