Last night we arrived back in Tucson after a fun week in Colorado. I miss Colorado already but it is supposed to be 75 today in Tucson so there is that. Colorado Snow! Our Gingerbread village- so fun Nellie likes presents Max exhausted from all the Christmas fun I scored pretty big in the running apparel gift department. Plus using my Mom's JCPenny coupon got to add on some fun running pants and capris. Present # 1: Awesome Under Armour  running outfit- now I can look coordinated ! Coupon find: black capris! Running tights: take that cold Tucson morning! What is this? Present of the year! That's right it is a running skirt.  WHOOP. So excited to break this baby out at a race. I also arrived home to an 3rd place finisher art work thing from the  Tucson Half Marathon . I was the third place filly.  In other words the third place female finisher over 160lbs (To review my former thoughts on  Clydesdales ). ...

Flowers are fun Going to try them tomorrow because everyone knows the best day to try something new is race day. I figure the arm warmers won't kill me. Fingers crossed. Arm w...

So while I was doing my normal perusing of the internet instead of reading the 800 million pages of political science journal article dribble that I need to be reading if I am ever going to pass my comprehensive exams I decided to register for the  Tucson Half Marathon . On the form (which I did old school mail in style to save a few bucks from Active.com, suck on it Active.com and no Active.com I don't want a three month trial of every fitness magazine known to man) it asks if you are a Clydesdale which had males above 190lbs and females above 160lbs. So I guess I am this Which okay whatever. I should be around 160lbs to be at a healthy weight- it is a goal of mine so not feeling too bad. And Clydesdale horses are pretty and they get to be in beer commercials about football and they used to pull fire trucks so they got to hang with dalmatians and hot firemen (yes you're welcome) but then I pulled up the  Fiesta Bowl Half Marathon ...
