Three New Obsessions

Well. I must admit. I have three new obsessions. Ok, not exactly all of them are obsessions, but I feel like I have to at least say one is a new obsession so maybe I will stick with it.
1. Running-- Ok,this OBVIOUSLY is the "obsession" I am not too zealous about. My sister and I have begun running in hopes of trying our first 5k this October. I have never, ever, EVER enjoyed running for sport but I am trying my hardest to get into it. Last year...actually, almost exactly one year ago, my brother-in-law ran in our local distance run. My sister and I went along to stand on the side of the road cheering him all the way to the finish line. Somewhere along the way there was this really hot chick running in a sports bra and spandex shorts. MA and I said that next year, that would be us. Well, at the time, MA was 9 months pregnant with Bertlebee and I was a MAJOR fatty. We haven't quite made it down into our spandex yet...but at least we are trying and we are shooting for on October run here in our hometown...We are trying to run as much as possible and we are following a couch to 5k program...hopefully more info on this later!
2. This new CD by the lead singer of Bright Eyes. I am obsessed with Bright Eyes mainly because husband and I shared our first dance to their song First Day of My Life played beautifully by my brother on the guitar. I have been finding this cd to be very calming in my mostly stressful job. I love my job, it is just VERY stressful right now...but that is a whole other post in and of itself. . .
3. ZUMBA ZUMBA ZUMBA!!! This is TOTALLY my MAJOR obsession in my life right now. I have jumped on the bandwagon and if getting off is wrong--- I don't wanna be right!!! My girlfriend recently got certified to teach Zumba in our area and started 2 classes per week at a school on the end of my road. She could honestly teach a class 7 days per week and I would be there EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! The best part about this for me is that I don't really feel like I am working out...it feels more like a dance party, and let's get real, who doesn't LOVE a dance party?!?! I have also seen a difference in my body since I began Zumba-ing...there are subtle changes I can see in my body just on a weekly basis, and, as I said before, I don't feel like I am working out so I don't hate it!!! Anyway...I hope this keeps up and if my body starts looking better I may even post some pics!
Anyway, that is all for now, I am sure I will have something to blog about soon when I get my students' state standardized test scores back. . . WISH ME LUCK!!!

Our gym has Zumba!!! It always looks fun, I was thinking of trying it. Good for you for working out and running. I hate running too! I think that's great you are doing a 5k. Nicholas just signed me up for a 20 mile bike race in September!!!!!!!!!!
