First Day Of Geo Cachng

Have you ever heard of Geo Caching? Well I hadn't either up until about a month or so I just jumped into it. I had heard about it through friends and just recently we ran an article about a guy who has been doing this for quite some time now and he has really helped me understand how this works! If you want to know more about this go and visit www.geocaching.com and you can read about it, I would try to explain it in this blog but it would take me forever! This is lot's of just plain good fun. 

I have uploaded a video of a first find and it took a bit since we did not know what in the world we were doing????

Enjoy,

Karen

It's Been A While

It's been since the middle of March since I have updated this blog, I have been slacking not only with this but with keeping up with my running and riding my bike. I am sick of finding excuses but every time I even think about getting some exercise in I am either tired or I have so much going on at work or I need to ride the horse. So this evening I have decided to get back at it and gradually get to where I need to be again. One thing is for sure I need to watch how much I push myself......I am one of those people who wants it now but it just does not happen that way!!!! 

Also I am going to start blogging on things going on in my life other than my working out etc. I have decided to share some other things that are going on in my life and it can prove to be quite entertaining :-)

I will chat at you later and remember Life Is A Journey, LIVE IT>

Be Blessed

Saturday March 14th back at the track!

Saturday March 14th and the weather is just plain PERFECT so it was perfect to start the day out with some training so off to the track I went and it was good to be there! The track was like an old friend that I have missed since taking time off to let me knee recover so we sparked up our friendship again today :-) Anyway I started with a brisk walk around the track twice then started into a jog and putting in 4 laps around then the 7th lap a brisk walk then the 8th lap a jog.  I felt really good today and was careful to pay attention to how my body was feeling and I have to say it was awesome and I did not overdue it.  I listened to a variety of music on my ipod shuffle and all the songs were uplifting and that made my time on the track even more worth it but somehow the Gilligan's Island theme came on and I just had to crack up laughing...all I could think was where in the world did that come from so needless to say I have been singing that crazy tune pretty much all day it's just stuck! Oh well I will get past it.

Well I have to run for now and thanks to all of you who read and watch my blogs stay strong.

Princess 5k Walt Disney World-Saturday March 7th, 09

I am blogging late on the event from this past Saturday but I am on it now :0)....it's been a hectic week with work but no more excuses so I am getting back on track NOW. (one more thing..sorry about the shaky video....my friend could not figure out how to stop recording!)

The "Princess 5k" at Walt Disney world was just FUN. My sister Lori her husband and my nephew Ryan who might I add is in 5th grade and 4 other close friends spent the in Orlando and got up at the ridiculous time 5:30 in the morning because we had to be at the starting point no later than 6:30a.m. I have to say that Disney does things first class from start to finish and they do not miss a beat! We ran thru Epcot and the part of the back lot so needless to say the scenery was awesome. When we ran thru different countries my sister Lori made it a point to video each one which was really neat and along the way we ran in to many characters which made it even more interesting. Just check out the picture below that should explain it.

As far as for me and my knee I think all in all it did well and I am so happy about that it eased my mind most definitely. We all had a great time and made a lot of wonderful memories.

Till Next Time....Karen

Taking Baby Step!

I am pretty sure that this video says it all.

Just Checking In

It's past time for me to update everyone at where I am with my work outs and progression of my knee since I have not blogged in almost two weeks. Sorry for not keeping up as I should I am a believer in blogging for some reason it does me good.

I have not been able to consistently work out as I should, my knee is probably about 95% better which is so wonderful and I have to share that I have learned to be patient and let my knee heal and for me that is difficult, I have always been someone who when I have a task/goal in front of me I push to get through it so this injury has really ticked me off but it has taught me that in some cases its best to let things work thru then jump back in at the right time . Today I brought my work out clothes with me to work in hopes that I can change after work and go to the track to get some run/walk in but not sure how it will play out but I am so ready to give it a shot so today is the day hopefully and what I mean by that is I have been on the go every single day with work! With the Florida State fair to the Spring Expo and now the Strawberry Festival my life has been go go go go go and I am needing some time to just CHILL! Understand I am not complaining but I am just ready for all these events to slow down a bit :-)

Be blessed and thankful today for what the Lord has given you..........sometimes I forget to do that but today at this very moment I want to say I am THANKFUL what about you?

Chat at you tomorrow.
