First off sorry I have been MIA lately, I've been busy, well...ummm...listening to the live feed and reading the message boards for that Brad Cooper murder trial I told you I was obsessed with. Yeah...it's a problem...full blown obsession. I think I am going to have to cut myself off and I hope to write a whole blog post about why later.
So last Thursday I went out with some people from work to celebrate a co-worker's birthday. We went to The Red Room in downtown Raleigh. It's a tappas place I had been to once before. First off, if you go, you must try their mango mojito. It was SOOO good I had to have three! The tappas were good too.
But the best part about this experience was they gave a free salsa dancing lesson! Apparently they do these free salsa lessons every Thursday.
I wasn't going to do it at first. I am very introverted and self-conscious when it comes to dancing for some reason. But a guy I work with insisted I go up there and be his partner to learn. (Don't get any ideas...he's married ladies...as are most of the guys over 25 in this town.)
It was really fun! Seriously, I think I want to go back again.
That is one thing I hope my future husband has...the ability to drag me on the dance floor when I don't want to because I am so self-conscious, but it turns in to one of the most unexpectedly fun things ever. (Ironically the word I wanted to describe 2011 for me was Unexpected! You can read about that from this post.)
So #23- take a dance lesson, gets a double check mark off the list!
Also #7- run a 5K is about to get a quadruple check off the list this month. It already has 2 check marks and I am running another one this weekend and a 4th at the end of the month! I'm thinking about starting a 10K training program after that and maybe doing a half-marathon at some point? I don't know. I change my mind daily based on how my runs go. One day I'll have a terrific run where I feel great and so energized and relaxed from it, and the next I will have a run that makes me want to give up on running for the rest of my life! Either way, I never thought I'd even be able to finish a 5K and now I'm running 3 miles, 3 times per week! Who woulda thunk it!? This list has definitely changed my life :)
Oh, and still no cigarettes! And I'm off the Nicorette too! Let's hope I keep it up once Lent is over!

Yeah I'm pretty introverted too but I have gone salsa dancing once. It was pretty fun! I can't say I was very good at it, but... it was fun to try! :)
That's great about the 5k! I think you could totally do a 1/2 marathon. It'll be hard, but it's much more manageable than a full marathon.
