On the fitness front:
I went to the gym today for the first time in weeks. I did 30 minutes on the treadmill at 3 mph. The Susan G. Komen 5K is in 8 weeks (9 weeks from yesterday, actually) as of today it would take me an hour to complete it, assuming I last that long. So my goal is to raise both my speed & my endurance.
I like the idea of the race being a fitness benchmark to put on my calendar, so I've worked out a tentative schedule.
Komen 5k - 6/08
10K - Marine Corps 10/08 or Veterans Day 11/08
10-miler - Cherry Blossom Race 4/09
1/2 marathon - fall 09 (Haven't found one yet - might go to Va. Beach & do the Rock & Roll)
Also, there's a 3K every month.
On the beauty front:
I'm waiting for my Eyes Lips Face bounty to arrive as well as doing some follow up with my Sheer Cover account. I want to add a little more polish to my look & hopefully I can get myself together to have a few minutes to spend on make-up in the morning. I'm thinking about going back out to Sephora & trying (again) to learn to put on makeup.

Hodge Podge
1) I'm going to run (or perhaps jog/walk) the Komen 5K in June. It's part of my fitness plan, plus it's social and it helps other people. A friend devised a training program that will get me ready in 8 weeks - if I can stick to it. It requires 3 runs each week. It shouldn't be as hard as it is.
2) If I can just get my butt to yoga & abs class every week, my gym membership would be totally worth it. It may have to wait until the 3 runs each week are less taxing on my body and I can do a run & an abs class or a run & a yoga class on the same day.
3) I only need to lose an average of 2.8 pounds/month for the rest of the year.
4) I'm getting a style makeover. It's a little daunting, but necessary. My major concern at this point is spending a bunch of money on clothes that I hope don't fit me by the end of the year. I'm hoping to upgrade my work wardrobe, add some color and some flair, and create some nice looks for going out.
5) I've almost convinced myself that I need to get a facial at least every other month. I'm trying to treat it as seriously as I treat my hair appointments.
6) Somehow, my Sheer Cover order has gotten stuck in limbo. It's probably for the best, since I'm still not using it. But I really want to get in the habit of using *something* at least for going out.
