Yikes!

I can't believe it is almost the end of October.....it has been a busy month with work. New employees and I've been training them. I had good intentionts in studying for the CMA exam, but it just hasn't happened. I need to start as I hope to sit for the exam in January or February.

I've decided that I need to step up my cardio and so next week I start training for a half-marathon with Marathon Makeover. I'm a bit worried as I'm not a runner or even a jogger. We will start by running 3-5 miles on Saturday and then increase the miles every week. The other issue is that I need to be up by 6:15 am to be able to start the run at 7:00 am! Yikes. This is early...I usually wake up around 7:00 am during the week so this will be a challenge and the last issue is the weather. It was chilly this morning and it is only going to get colder...so tomorrow I'm going to go shopping for warm-weather running gear.

Today, Jon and I woke up early with the pups and went to a 5K sponsored by a local animal shelter - ARF. We had fun - lots of dogs and opportunity for Gabe and Maggie to interact with all kinds of dogs. Photo taken by someone at ARF and we got a copy and I tried to scan it today but it was grainy so it is not such a great scan.
