I'm a runner?!!?

In March I started running with the local Women Can Run clinic. The clinic was a 10 week program for all ages and abilities to learn how to run or walk for exercise. I joined Beginning Runner Group A -The goal was to train to run/walk up to 3.1 miles and to complete a 5K. Somehow in those short 10 weeks I fell in love. I completed my first 5K on May 9th in Conway AR at the Women Can Run race. I ended up 22 out of 109 in my age group. 10:22/mile. Time 32:08.

Thankful that this leader (Cindy) ran with me the whole race. She really encouraged me to keep going! 

I found my Dad at the finish line!! My Step Mom (Ocie) was running the race too! She did awesome. She finished 7th in her age group. 

Our shirts match the port a potties!! LOL 

{FIVE ON FRIDAY}

Hello Friday, It's nice to see you again! Here are my 5 on Friday favorites.

{ONE}

THIS HAPPENED! I don't think I have ever seen my Husband soo excited. It was definitely the most intense game I have ever seen. 

{TWO}

I love fall and I want to do all of these things! Plus camping! 

{THREE}

This show. I cry every time I watch it. 

{FOUR}

This $2.50 shampoo has become my new favorite! I normally use Biolage but got this in a pinch while traveling one weekend and absolutely loved it. 

{FIVE}

Walmart has an app that after you shop, you can scan the barcode on your receipt.  Walmart will search local stores for lower prices. It takes about 3 days but if they do find lower prices, they add the money to your Walmart app.You can then redeem the eGift card right on your phone.

How awesome is that? Plus you can still comp and use coupons! So far I have scanned 2 receipts and got back $2.84. Not alot but better than nothing. 

Linking up today with Lauren for High Five on Friday and Amanda for Friday Favorites. Happy Friday!

Confessional Friday: {Link Up}

I’m linking up with Leslie at A Blonde Ambition for her Confessional Friday link up! I just realized I haven't posted anything in a month. Oops! I've been busy being Super Mom! 

1.) I confess that I am really enjoying my Human Relations class I am taking this semester. We are reading Dale Carnegie books which are very inspiring to me. It basically common sense stuff but it's good to have a refresher course on how people think and act. 

2.) I confess that I am loving Essential Oils! I just bought a diffuser and a few essential oils. I diffuse the eucalyptus oil in Reggie's room at night to help prevent his asthmatic cough he gets. I also rub the eucalyptus oil with coconut oil on his chest and the bottom of his feet. He loves it! I'm looking forward to learning more and adding to my collection of oils. 

3.) I confess that I made the best Crock Pot Roast ever this week. Here is the link to the recipe. Crock Pot Roast.  Soo easy and very flavorful. 

4.) I had a blast at the One Direction concert in St. Louis last month! Seriously thought it would be torture with about a million screaming girls but it ended up being a blast.  Here are a few pics. 

Off to St. Louis! 

Had to get a Mother/Daughter pic

The girls were like this the whole concert!
