<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: "Segoe Script","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Happy New Year Lovelies!</span></b><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br />
<br />
I hope you all had a GREAT New Year! I know we did! We (Me and my love) went to
DC for a lovely night out on the town.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We had tickets to a party at The Park on 14<sup>th</sup> – great little
club.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Except on NYE, it was jam PACKED! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Since it was New
Years, I wore my heavy <s>fur</s> (ok fine it’s a fake fur coat) thinking we
would be able to use coat check.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No, no
silly woman, coat check was FULL! So I rang in the New Year holding a $13 vodka
and sprite and my fake fur coat! <br />
<br />
Needless to say by 1:30 and after getting almost puked on by a girl that was
TRASHED we left! We ended up at a kabob spot watching the drunkies, stumble
down the street, then hopped the Metro and headed back to the hotel. It was an
eventful night to say the least. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Before the night
got “exciting” we were talking at dinner about our “goals” for 2013.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I never set any resolutions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My only REAL resolution is to be better than I
was the previous year in all aspects of my life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<br />
So we decided to take a few ideas from the wonderful world of Pinterest and
make our bucket list of trips and vacations and our goals and print and frame
them in a nice lovely frame and hang them in our bedroom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also have an inspiration board; I made for
my refrigerator to motivate me with healthy eating and training for my half
marathon. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">So lovelies, what
are your goals, resolutions etc. and how do you plan to reach them? Remember no
matter what your goal, resolution etc. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>remember
to embrace it, and love every reason behind your motivation to reach that goal
or stick with your resolution.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Here’s to a GREAT
2013!<br />

<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">So you know that

<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">So I decided in
2013 I was going to be more organized! My inspiration? This pretty little
planner I picked up from Target! Now I know in this day and age of iPad’s and
Androids there’s “an App” for this, but call me old fashion, I just simply love
writing down my dates in a fancy book!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">I found this beauty
in a holiday bin, just shining away amongst the fluorescent lights, and she
called out to me<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: "Segoe Script ","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">“</span><span style="color: #9900cc; font-family: "Burbank Big Cd Bk"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Psst! Hey
Jayme! Take me home, Jayme! Let me help you get organized</span><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">!”
and so I did, and we have been best friends ever since!</span></span></div>

our dates, events and vacations through June.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But…something was still missing!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
still needed to make those events stand out, so I knew who would be where and

<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">I picked a color of

<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">I also gave a color
to when bills are due (rent, water, electric) and for when we will be out of
town. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Then I put that key
in the front of my planner for quick reference, so when I ask Mr. what we have
to do next weekend, he can tell me! (My secret plan is to get him to carry an
OO like mine one day! With his business, he DEFINITELY needs it!)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Heard these before? Shoot you’ve probably said this before, you don’t run and
you never will, as African Americans WE don’t run. <br />
<br />
Hi, I’m Jayme and I am a runner! I’m not the fastest, I have never won a race,
and my pace is poor, but I still lace up at least 3 times a week and take my
therapy session to the streets. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<u2:p></u2:p><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif";"><br />
I am a single mother of a vibrant, creative and very active 5 year old little
girl. When we first started out on our own I was working a full time job, in
school and coming home to a child who wanted her mother, but I was TIRED!
Something had to give! In 2010 a friend from college called me to tell me she
was running a half marathon in 4 months. Thinking I am a super woman, I said
“Shoot, if she can do it, so can I!” So I signed up and had no idea how those
13.1 miles would change my life! 4 months later I was at the starting line of
the Yuengling Shamrock Half Marathon in Virginia Beach. I looked around and saw
NO ONE who looked like me! Everyone there was slender, and looked athletic. They
all had their Asics running shoes and running shorts, and I stood there
terrified. I knew I hadn’t trained enough (it was a cold winter!) and my friend
was prepared and ready to go. As the start gun went off I started to cry, (what
was I thinking!) maybe I should just go to the side and walk off the race
course! Then a wave of 30,000 runners and walkers of all ages began to engulf
me and pushed me along, there was no turning back now. Along the way I saw a
few other African American women running and made friends with one (shout out
to Teresa D!). We ran miles 4-7 together, and then went our separate ways to
the finish line. As I ran down the boardwalk to the finish of my first half
marathon, I became uncontrollably overwhelmed with emotion and what I was about
to accomplish. <br />
<br />
See running seems easy, but the act of doing it is a feat in its self. Having
the courage and lack of sense to WILLINGLY run 13.1 miles is a whole different
mental battle. I am proud to say since 2012, I have completed two half marathons,
6 5k’s and a 5miler last year in York. All the races have touched my life and
heart in ways that can’t be put into words.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif";">Last two years ago
in September I ran the Rock n Roll Half Marathon in Virginia Beach <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>for the first time and it literally changed my
life and my outlook on running and fitness forever.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<u2:p></u2:p><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif";"><o:p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif";">As I was waiting for
the gun to go off for my half marathon I scanned the crowd secretly counting
how many African Americans were running this race. To my surprise I had almost
counted 60 (the most I have ever seen at a race to date!) Then I saw it…like a
beacon of hope from the heavens, a bright yellow singlet that read “Preserve
the Sexy” on the front and on the back in beautiful letters were the words
“Black Girls RUN!!” WHAT?! Instantly I was in love! Like a crazed fan I ran
over to the group of ladies like “Where DID you get that shirt” a tall slender
lady kindly told me it was a blog and I could order the merchandise there. I
ran the entire 13.1 miles repeating the website, because I didn’t want to
forget it.<br />
<br />
From that point on the organization Black Girls RUN! has been an inspiration to
my running life and personal life. I feel like I met my missing link in my
running relationship. Unknown to me, I was longing for something to relate to,
and this group of lovely ladies is just what I needed! The two women who
created BGR, Toni Carey and Ashley Hicks are always sharing their words of
wisdom on their blog. According to their website the mission of Black Girls
RUN!! Is to encourage African American women to make fitness and healthy living
a priority”. <br />
<br />
I adore how BGR’s daily words of wisdom on twitter and Facebook touch hundreds
of lives of African American women every day. They encourage us to go against
the cool crowd and get out there and get active. In a world where we are
expected to be cookie cutter women it’s nice to know there is a group out there
that tells us we are ok, just the way we are. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<br />
A place where I share everything that I "Simply Love" in my life! You’ll
find it all here from family and friends, to travel and my love/hate
relationship with running. If it has to do with my life, I will probably share
it on here! <br />
<br />
Since this is my baby, and I am just getting started, bear with me! I promise
this will quickly become one of your favorite places to visit! Why? Well,
because I am funny, smart, witty and a cool chick! (Yes, I did just brag about
myself!!)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
