Plain running is starting to bore me, so I've been mixing it up a little bit - including a little hula hooping, and I'm going to admit: I am a BAD ASS hula hooper. (Should I really be bragging about that??) I started doing it on the Wii and then quickly went out and bought one. It probably helps my knee a bit too.... (yes, in my accident prone ways, last year I hurt my knee. Thankfully my doctor rocks and I required no surgery, and I have been good to go until last week when I was running -- and that knee popped. Uh oh.)
I've started singing out loud I've noticed when I'm running --- I think my neighbors might think I've seriously lost my mind, especially when one day I ran by a house singing along to "Baby Got Back", and the following day when I ran by I was singing along to "Gonna Make You Sweat". (Thanks Songza, for the 90's Workout playlist!)
In other news, I booked the hotel and put in in the request for Derby tickets this week! I am beyond stoked! I haven't been to a race at Churchill Downs since 2005 - for shame, I know! This is an entire new ball game though -- and it's insane expensive. (Which I expected) Pretty sure everyone thought I was joking when I said the normal place we stay at in Louisville was $600 for the night, but sold out.
Now that that's all taken care of, it's time to get to the seriously important part: the clothes. The BFF and I want to be in UK blue, but we also want to go opposite, so since I fell in love with the blue dress, I'm aiming for blue dress, white hat, while Rita does the opposite.
I found a dress that's KINDA similar to the Michelle Pfeiffer dress I am madly in love with.
So now I totally have to find a hat I think will look good. Or I guess I should go ahead and BUY the dress. I'm totally torn on buying it right now and kind of want to wait -- and maybe if I can find something that's even more similar. Sigh, decisions, decisions. I can't make up my mind. But I do know it's time to go hula hoop.
I wanna hula hoop now! We used to rock at it as kids! I wish I could run, I just cant sustain my breathig while running yet! your gonna be so cute in a derby hat!
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling I'm going to have to slow it and just walk for awhile, give my knee a little bit of a break. Or I might see my doc and see what he suggests.
DeleteGet that knee looked at!? Wasnt he almost going to do the surgery on it? Dont mess it up :(
ReplyDeleteYeah. I got a brace for it, and I've slowed down a bit. Fingers crossed :)
