Two Things I Love Right Now

I know I just posted about the 4th, but I have to share two things that have got me excited right now:

1) Kate told me about this website called Pinterest, which is essentially a photo tagging site that has a social media focus. Basically, you can "pin" (or tag) pictures that you find on the interwebs and then consolidate them on a series of bulletin boards. My profile consists of everything from pictures of places I've traveled to or want to travel to, fashion trends that I love, things that just make me happy in general, home decorating and food, so check it out if you're interested!!

2) I finally signed up for a half-marathon!!!! I have been saying all year that I'm going to run one, but constant injury (ankles and knees) has prevented me from doing so. My friend Andrew told me about the Parks Half Marathon, though, which is on September 11th, so I signed up to run it. Click here for more info! The one little wrinkle in this plan is that I recently sprained my ankle (I went to the hospital on Friday and that fact was confirmed), so my training schedule is going to be a little more compressed than what I would like, since I am under strict instructions not to run for at least two weeks, but I hope that, if I continue to stay active, I should hopefully have the cardio base to be able to jump right back in once my ankle is feeling better. Leave it to me to injure myself the week I sign up for a half-marathon (not to mention the fact that I'm the worst sick/injured person in the world. When you lead as active a lifestyle as I do, it's really hard to slow down!!!), but I'm just grateful that nothing is broken!
