5k, Baby Shower, and Double-Date

Today, Meredith and I did the CARMA Center's Run in Rhythm 5k. We beat our time from the Intermountain Healthcare 5k by 5min. It was fun, and I had the chance to break in my new digital pedometer! The goal is to get in as close to 10,000 steps a day, and today I ended up surpassing 13,000. I figure I'll learn what my average daily step total is and adjust my cardio from there.

Later, Mom and I went to a bay shower from my childhood friend, Kylie. It was a wonderful afternoon.

Afterward, Mer and I went on a double date. It consisted of a picnic in the park and a game of croquet and bachi ball. It was a lot of fun.

I'm looking forward to this week because my textbooks will arrive for my grad class! I'm going to focus on putting a positive spin on everything, maybe it will help improve my overall mood.

I'll admit it...

...I've been SO bad about blogging, so here's a massive update.

Back in July, I ran my second 5k for Intermountain Healthcare with Victoria and Meredith.

My Aunt Lieu had her baby, Kingston mid-July. (Right, newborn. Left, one-month old)

I finished my 1000 piece puzzle of Gone With the Wind and mod-podged it and hung it up.

I cut off about 3 inches of my blonde locks (right, before; left, after)

Victoria had her baby, little William Barrett

 

**On another note, this Fall I will be attended graduate-level classes in the Educational Leadership and Policy Program for the next few semesters before I submit my application this next year. I'm beyond excited to do this! 

I've also signed up for Circuit Training 3 days a week at 6:30am, so I will be exercising multiple times a week first thing in the morning before I go to work at 8am.
