Running thru Life... The Pet Corrector

For any one who knows our dog Clemson, 

he has a voice.  

One I am working very hard to tame....

How you might ask...

With the help of the Pet Corrector

 Can be found on the internet or at Willy Wags which I got a 20% on Black Friday so I picked up some other things I needed.  

This is a pressurize can that lets out a weird noise that apparently dogs do not like.  

I have been using it for barking and his jumping and it seems to help a lot.  

We tried the squirt bottle but he loves water so he thought it was  a game.  

Also tried the can with money in it but again he wanted to eat the can. 

Seriously... seriously!

Running thru life.... A Happy Thought!

So while walking thru Lowes to pick up a couple things- like a copy of our house key =0)

Joe  found something that totally made me laugh. 

So I thought I would share with you.

 I totally love my husband as he can make me laugh!

Happy Late Thanksgiving and
Merry Christmas!!!

Running thru life..... Long Beach for my 30?

As a midwife I normally get paid to go to one conference a year. 

It is one of the only perks I get!

The first year I was at my job I went to an Ultrasound Conference in Philly, followed by the ACNM (American College of Nurse Midwives) Conference in DC, this year I decided to bypass a conference because of work reasons. 

ACNM has offically announced LONG BEACH, CA from June 2 to June 7th 2012!

The really cool thing about this is I will turn 30 on June 7th!

So I totally could make a fun trip out of this considering my airfare, hotel room, and most of my food will be covered.  My husband has stated he could fly out as well as my best friend. 

Long Beach for my 30th.......

I think it just might happen!

Running thru life.... A schedule

Now that I am in training mode, I need a schedule to help keep myself on tract. 

I looked at a couple of different schedule and decided to go with one from

MarathonRookie.com

I like how it was broked down in to 16 weeks and had days of rest build into the schedule- since I am gone more than 13 hours a day at least 4 days a week it gives me days off after work. 

What training schedule do you like? 

Running thru life.... Panic

It hit me today- in less than 4 months I will be running a Marathon!
A Marathon!
Am I crazy? 
Seriously three years ago I could not even run a mile and
now I am going to put my body and my mind thru a marathon!

Seriously!!!

While my family and my hubby have full confidence I will finish-
I am terrified! 
What if I don't finish? 
What if I fail? 

I think I just need to tell myself I will finish which is what I have going thru my head every time I hit the treadmill or run outside lately. 
I will finish.
It may not be easy, but I will finish.

Postive mojo is much better than negative mojo... right!

I will finish.....
Off to run!
