Oh dusty in here huh? I slacked off on the posting here. March was a blur with kids and myself getting sick the week before our trip, then taking our trip and then just getting back in the swing of things.
Where are we at? Today was Day 2 of Week 3 on the Couch to 5K. It was easier than doing Day 1 on Tuesday and despite the chilly temp this morning I was glad I got myself out there. Consistancy is key for me, I have to keep at this. If I say "Oh not today" that just starts the downward spiral for me of losing steam and ultimately giving up. I don't want that to happen.
DH has picked up his training much more (though he wimped out on me today because it was too cold) and I am happy to see him taking this seriously too. Aside from the fact that it will be a super fun thing to do with our friends it is good for us and our bodies too. I am really glad we are taking this step.
On the logistical side we booked Coronado Springs for 1/8-1/11 and Oceanview Concierge rooms at Sandals Grand Bahamian resort for 1/11-15. Need to get our airfare and we are good to go!

Hi Allyson,
Sounds like you have been busy.I wish my DH would do something exercise wise-it scares me that he doesn't do anything.
Well the weather will start improving soon-today is supposed to be a beauty!
Thanks for your comments on my journal.
Keep up the great work one day at a time.

Hi Allyson! I finally found your journal. 
I read through it and am SO proud of you! 
Love the life list idea and that yours was a Rick Springfield concert. I would certainly have a few concerts on mine too. 
You're doing GREAT with the C25K program! And any time that the weather doesn't cooperate and you do the gazelle instead - I don't see that as slacking off at all! Your positive attitude is contagious and I am along for the ride!
I too am considering a 1/2 marathon later this year (shhh don't tell anyone) so I'll be joining a training plan at some point in the fall.
And Ellen. Who doesn't love her?
I record her every day and am about 2 weeks behind in watching, but I just love her and her comedy style. 
Keep up the great work!!
