Trick or Trot
So today mom and I ran the Trick or Trot 4 mile race in Long Branch. We dressed up as bunnies; we had the ears, bow tie, and tail. Both of us decided to run this as a "fun" run and stay together. The course was extremely boring; it was an out and back course. And it definitely felt like forever to finish!! But we did it! I had no intentions of placing or winning an award. We were just hanging around talking to everyone and watching the dog parade. They started announcing awards and got to my age group. We were standing in the very back and I wasn't even paying attention BUT after they announced 3rd place, I realized that the time was slower than what I ran it in. So I paid attention and sure enough the girl in 2nd place was also slower than my time. I couldn't believe it, I placed 1st!!!!! I was shocked and still am shocked, but I got a cute little halloween medal with a puppy on it. Mom was so excited, but I wish she placed too!!!

Is it Friday yet??
School is just ridiculous. I am getting so much work I need this semester to end!!!!! It looks like I'm going to have 2 days off again next semester which is great for me.
Work is work. I got an awesome job offering at another gym, but it's so complicated. My boss where I am now I know is not happy that I may give up a day here, but it's my money. Business isn't about working to be nice, it's about working because you like the place and you get paid well. $3.00/hour is a big difference and $15.00 more per class is an even bigger difference. I love my job BUT I have expenses and I like nice things which means I need more money, and people don't seem to understand that. UGHH so I have a lot on my mind right now.
My boyfriend is great. I am so beyond happy with him. It's been great and we're having a lot of fun. He's coming down this Friday to spend the night, adn then his family will be down Saturday.
Running is doing better. I have a few races lined up that I'm excited for. I'm doing my best to fit it into my schedule, but it's not easy.
Anyway, I'm loaded with school work as usual so I'm off to do that

Superlicious Saturday
I taught a great Cardio Sculpt class yesterday!! Believe it or not, I'm sore today, but it's a good sore. The time flew by during the class.
Then last night, we went to dinner with my best friend and her family. We had such a great time, so many laughs! And it was so great to see them all. I'm going to visit her at school in a few weeks so that'll be super fun!!!!
Mom dyed her hair and it looks amazing! Now she really looks so young. People are going to keep thinking we're sisters, which is a good thing.
I'm going to Joe's after work, and we're all going out for his mom's birthday so it should be fun!

Fabulous Friday
WOAHHHH it's finally Friday!! I look forward to the weekend more and more each week :).
This past weekend, I ran a 5k with mom and placed 3rd in my age. I was super happy! I have another 5k this weekend so we'll see how it goes.
I taught a great Zumba class last night, and I'm teaching a cardio sculpt class this morning. Cardio Sculpt it my favorite class! We have so much fun.
So I had to present a 5-7 minute speech in class yesterday. It had to be an informative speech so I chose to discuss Down Syndrome. Overall, I thought I gave a great speech and hardly looked at my notes. It was videotaped and me and mom watched it last night. Eye contact was the best! I looked down maybe twice BUT my teacher gave me a 3/5 for eye contact?!?!? Luckily, it's on video so I can prove that he's wrong. Besides that, I got an A- for the speech!
This week so so busy with the amount of schoolwork I had. I have a huge Calc exam Monday. I absolutely love Calc (I know I'm weird) haha, but I feel like this exam is gonna be real tough.
One of my best friends is home for the weekend! Tonight we are going out with both of our families and I'm looking so forward to it!!! Then tomorrow I open at work and I'm spending the day at Joe's.
Should be a fun weekend! I'm getting back into my running. I want to train for a full for the Spring, but I don't know if it'll happen yet so we'll see!
Hope you all enjoy your weekend!!!
