A little Inspiration

So I stole this quote from Kind Over Matter.  It's really been my thoughts lately for the most part.  I have been so motivated lately to use every last bit of my day and it feels AMAZING!  Ever since I moved to a steady day shift a month ago, I've been getting so much done.  I go into work at 8am and get home at 4pm.  As soon as I'm home, I try to get to the gym followed by a run.  Some days I throw in a swim or Zumba and now Dodgeball on Thursday nights.  Most nights I'm not getting home until 9pm and in bed by 10pm and by that point I'm so beat tired that as soon as I lay day, I pass out!.  The weekends have been just as filled too! Fridays I've been using as somewhat of a relaxing day.  Saturdays have been filled with house hunting and some friend event that keeps me outta the house all day long.  Sundays I spend playing soccer about an hour and 15 minutes away from my home.  I stay up in that area because I have Basketball games at night at the same place so my Sundays are shot too.

All this craziness may seem like a lot, but I'm actually enjoying it.  I'm getting in shape and eating right and having so much fun.  And because of this, i've been actively looking for new races to run.  I've compiled a list of races that I would like to run in before I die.  So I included my bucket list of runs:

Broad street run in Philadelphia, PA (hoping to get this checked off this year)
The Color Run- this is a 5k where you wear a plain white t shirt and at every k or mile they spray a paint color on you and by the end of the run you're covered in different color paints
The Rock 'N' Roll Marathon- they have rock bands set up throughout the race
Marine Corp Marathon
The Pajama Run- you run the race in your PJ's!
The Disney Marathon- my friend did this one before and you can take pics with the characters throughout the run as you run through all the parks
Krispy Kreme Challenge- you have to run 4 miles in under an hour and at mile 2 you have to eat a dozen donuts!!
The Yuengling Shamrock Marathon- they provide the beer for you during your run

I just thought all these runs sounded really freaking awesome!! We'll see how well I do in the half marathon in August.  I'm hoping I do fairly well because I really do eventually wanna do a full marathon.
