Must be my LUCKY Day!

In the past two weeks I have been grateful and lucky enough to spend a ton of time with my family and my nieces. They held a beautiful memorial service last night for their grandpa and had just passed away and I was able to help them with it. This way they could enjoy their family and friendship of other people who knew their grandpa. I love spending time with my nieces though and being able to swim with them and see them on a daily basis though!

They are so sweet and I love being able to see them more often then I used too.

Last week when I got on to check my blog I had a comment that said that I had won two different things. Ros from Lifes a Wheeze hosted a Virtual 5K for Asthma Awareness. She also held a drawing from the people who ran the 5K to win a iTunes Gift card. Guess what....I WON!!! Wooohooo!
There has been some music that I have been wanting to download so this was perfect!

A few weeks ago I entered into a giveaway at Running Diva Mom for some Yurbuds Sport Earphones and when I checked my comments I saw that I had WON a pair of these too. These are normally $50.00 and I just won them!! Wooohooo!!! I have been wanting to get a pair of these for a while but just could not bring myself to pay the price for them.

On the running front, I have ran once last week and I am hoping to run a Fourth of July race coming up, so I better get on the ball for training. I have however been swimming quite a bit! So I know that is helping me. I am lucky to have two different pools I can swim in. My brothers and one at the apartment that I live in!

It is beautiful and hot out there, so make sure you are drinking plenty of water and staying cool. I am hoping to do a post about staying cool in the summer months coming up soon as well as a Virtual Beat the Heat 5K!



Question: Would you be interested in participating in a Beat the Heat 5K? (A little handmade medal) will be given to each finisher.
