been so long

So, I got out of school a week and a half ago and haven't really touched a computer since. It's been nice, but now I fell kinda out of it. I really will have to buy a computer this summer. I hate spending money. Hate it. Unless it is on scrapping stuff or cute clothes. More scrappin' stuff lately, though.
It is finally nice enough to lay out and now I'm working again. Well kinda working. My family owns a building supplies (siding, windows, doors...) and my aunt is on vacation so I'm helping out.
Helping is a relative term here.
I don't know where anything in the store is or how to order sofit and j-channel (I do know what those are though) so all I can do is chat the customers up until my cousins husband can come and really help. I can go get lunch though and make deliveries.
Very good at that.
Lunch may screw up the diet plan that I've got going on.
THis is the new plan: Mini-marathon in Bloomington in September.
Reasons this rocks:
Get to do something with college friends.
Get to go to Bloomington which I love love love.
Kinda have to get in shape no time for slacking.
Reasons this doesn't rock:
I don't like running.
My friend Katie said we could walk it, but #1 walking 13 miles would take forever and #2 I know I could walk it so I want to challenge myself.
Did I say I don't really like running?
Bloomington is not exactly flat.
There are hills many hills to make the running harder.
I just read Darcy's blog and saw that her husband is running like a 5 minute mile. I was pleased with my 12 minutes.
So, I've been going to the Y every day. I did have to take break from the running b/c I seem to run funny on my left foot and I think I may have really hurt it. So, I 'm taking a week off the running and biking and doing the eliptical and strength.
While my equally wimpy friend Melissa and I were doing a little strength training yesterday at the Y this huge (major muscle man;like he wears a weight belt when he works out)black guy challenges us to do some pull-ups. My upper body strength is pretty non-existent so this is next to impossible. Since we couldn't do that he made us do some other arm excercises. The next this I knew he had us in this little mini training and is asking what time we come every day. He says he'll have us in shape in not time. The whole time I'm just cracking up. This guy must feel so bad for us. He is funny though, I think he may be from south-Africa so he doesn't speak english all that well. We'll see how this turns out.
Just from yesterday's workout my arms hurt when I type!!!
