5 Things Friday

For today's 5 thing's, I am starting out with something sad...

1. I couldn't get tickets to see Adele. After watching her Live in NY concert a few days ago, I fell in love with her even more, and couldn't wait until Thursday to get tickets. My twinnie and I had already decided we were going to go to Nashville to see her our birthday weekend in October.
 But, it wasn't meant to be. After trying unsuccessfully for a couple hours, I gave up. I have a friend in Atlanta who couldn't even get tickets to the show there.
Meanwhile, my sister in WI got tickets to see her in Chicago! I am very happy for her. But oh so sad for me. (My sister told me that just a few hours after she bought her tickets for $150, the very same ones were selling for $4,000!! It infuriates me that people do that.)

2. Something I was given:
I got my birthday present from my twin sis, and I cannot wait to wear these out! Love, love, love!

3. Something I wore:
I am still a Gwynnie Bee fanatic. I love renting clothes. This is one of my favorite dresses.

4. Somewhere I went:
A friend gave Jeremy and I box seat tickets to The Nutcracker. I had never seen it before, and I loved it! It was magical and enchanting.
 I know a lot of people think ballet is boring, but I think it's beautiful.

5. Something I'm doing:
Tomorrow I'm running the Otter Creek Trail Race. I'm just doing 1 loop, so 8 miles.
I am excited, but nervous too. My last trail run of any kind was when I attempted to run 100 miles, and made it to mile 33 after bronchitis and a sinus infection took me out.
So, it's been almost 2 years since I've even been on a trail!!
And it's going to be 30 degrees. And I hate to be cold. As you all know.
But it's going to be a blast! I'm taking Tyler, a 16 year old from my youth group with me. He has won numerous races. Pretty sure he's the next Usain.

 Have a wonderful weekend!!

Have you seen The Nutcracker?

When was your last trail run/race?
