My Site Has Moved!

Hi guys! I decided to switch over to a WordPress hosted site so check it out at runfor-cupcakes.com

I'm still making some changes to look and feel of things so it doesn't look too pretty but it will soon!

:)

Merry (Late) Christmas!

Hello and Merry Christmas!! I know I've been MIA for a while but I really haven't been doing much besides running and spending time with my family. I've also been trying to get my blog switched over to WordPress and it is almost there... almost! So I am here to share some pictures from Christmas and to announce some VERY exciting news. At least I think it's exciting, if you don't think it's exciting sorry for getting you all hyped up for nothing!

Me looking very sleepy with my stocking

My cute preggo sister and BIL

Aaaand I did a little photo shoot of my parents... my dad is quite the character! Like father like daughter?

I had just opened up my new Garmin Forerunner 210 watch (you can kind of see it on my lap) and I thought that was my last present because my mom always saves our "big" presents for last. Well much to my surprise I had one more present that came wrapped in a Mickey bag...

I look all puffy and red because I literally started balling. I found out my mom and I are running the Dumbo Double Dare in Disneyland in August and then the Wine and Dine Half in November which means we will finally get our coast to coast medals!!!!

This was the last thing I expected to receive and I feel so incredibly blessed and lucky. I can't even begin to explain my excitement, even though it is 8 months away I already want to start planning my costumes! I'm not going to though I promise... ahhhhhhh!!!! Okay I'm done.

For the next week or so if my blog seems a little crazy it probably has something to do with me switching over so please just ignore it for the time being. I'll get it figured out eventually (hopefully).

I hope everyone had a wonderful and blessed Christmas filled with lots of family, food, and fun!

'Twas the Week Before Christmas

'Twas the Week Before Christmas

 An original poem by Running For Cupcakes (aka me)

'Twas the week before Christmas and all through the town,

Not a sidewalk was shoveled, at even one house.

My laces were tied all tight and with care,

So outside to the roads I went running with dare.

Everyone else snuggled warm in their beds,

Were saying "what is that crazy girl doing?!" in their heads.

Running around the neighborhood for three freezing laps,

Had me ready to take a long winter's nap.

I thought it would be fun to run in the snow,

but there is a lot of things I did not know.

I kept hoping for the sun to appear,

So the ice could melt and the paths would be clear.

The low temperatures made me run quick,

I was worried I would get sick!

The miles passed by and the end finally came,

I looked up and saw my street name.

When I got home all my teeth could do was chatter,

I was so cold I was worried I would shatter.

Up to the hot shower I ran in a flash,

To thaw out from my quick winter dash.

Now I'm curled up all warm on the couch,

And I may be acting like a grouch.

Grumpy Courtney is not a pretty sight,

So Happy Holidays to all and to all a Goodnight!
