On the run!

In four days I'll be running my first race of the year. I'm so excited to add some miles to 2013! I'll be running the Texas Half/5k on Sunday, February 3rd, with my buddy Monica and co-worker Tyrone.

I've been training for this 5k by going to the gym and running at the park. I'm not going to lie, there are days I feel too lazy to get a workout done. I come up with every excuse I can think of, but cheating myself won't get me anywhere. "I regret this workout," said no one EVER. The only workout you'll regret is the one that you didn't do. So lace up your shoes and run with me.

I've been pretty bad about updating my blog. I'm honestly really lazy =\ Posting pictures on my Instagram and updating my workouts on Twitter seems easier. BUT I have to show some love for those of you who actually enjoy reading my blog. Yes all 3 of you! LOL. I'll be making a come back, starting by giving you a full re-cap of my race this Sunday. 

Reading other blogs has also helped me get ideas about future topics for this blog. I want to try new recipes, workout routines, random stuff and obviously talk about myself as much as possible because I'm such a freaken awesome creature! :)

See you soon!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! I hope you all welcomed the new year surrounded by happiness and love. 2012 was an okay year. The only major events I can think of was buying my first car, learning how to drive, running a 10k and starting a new job (which I love). Other than that I'm looking forward to this new year!

I'm ready for 2013! If you didn't know the number 13 is my lucky number. I was born on the 13th, this blog's original name was, "CarlaLove13" LOL and the number 13 has been used on every password, twitter username, lottery number.... you get the point.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas my fellow readers! I'm so excited this time of the year is finally here! May your holidays be filled with love, family and lots of food.
I recently got a new phone, thanks to my awesome boss who gave it to me as a Christmas gift. I love it! It will make blogging easier, so stay tune for more posts from me. Happy holidays!
Plus we got snow on Christmas day!

Quick Update/Rave Run Recap

Hello again! Man I was on a blogging roll last month that suddenly came to a stop. I had to take a break from running life to focus on my personal business. So what was I up to last month? I quit my job, went unemployed for 4 weeks, then finally got a new job! I'm back on track now and ready to put some more miles in.

That past month also screwed up my running schedule, I had to rearrange my goals along with the races I had planned to signed up for. Hopefully this time around I stay on track.

The Rave Run 5K 

Last Saturday I ran The Rave Run 5K with my friend Jarrah, Kendra and her friend(forgot her name oops!) It was so much fun. People really went all out with their wacky costumes. The weather was great, except for the strong wind. I finished in the middle so I'm pretty happy with my timing.
