I can't wait for Spring

I am so excited! I have registered for Bay to Breakers (May 15th). This is the 100th anniversary too. I don't have the money or time to do a costume this year, but thats okay. All that really matters to me is completing Bay to Breakers. I will be staying in San Francisco that weekend at Ryan's house. he is such a good host. I will also check out the Greater Body Expo on Saturday May 14th. I have never been to the Expo, but always wanted to go. I don't know if I will participate this year in Bring your own big wheel (BYOBW), but I will be going.
 Someone told there is an Aids walk in April at Lake Merritt. I'm going to check that out and see if I can do that too. I still want to do The Warrior Dash in October, but I feel I would need to train for that one. So we'll see if I do it this year or wait till next year because i want to be in good shape for it.

I am still reading and have just been writing it all down on paper. I 'll have to update my book list later this weekend. I have also started trying to learn how to play acoustic guitar through videos on YouTube. I suck! I will have plenty of time to learn more fun stuff now that Lent is here and I have to reduce my social networking. More time for reading, writing, and music. Hhmm sounds a little like school. I am also starting to learn how to meditate and work on my alone time. Working on both at the same time really helps. I have time to focus, relax, and do yoga too. Now that is starting to get warmer I can work on my soon to be garden out back, and finding a volunteer group to work with.
