The Evidence

I keep meaning to post these pictures of the Race for the Cure. There's Wildman running the last few yards with me! And then there's me huffing and puffing to death. I still can't believe how cold it was. Anyway, here's the only evidence I have so far that I'm actually doing this whole thing. Man, I should have had Suge get a picture of the clock. WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT?

Anyway, hope all is going well with your latest challenge. My next challenge-well besides the lying thing, must be cutting back on the sweets. But I think I'll wait until after Halloween and use those few weeks between Halloween and Thanksgiving to fast =) I'll let you know how that goes...

Week 5 is over. Let's Celebrate!

I don't have much time, but wanted to let you know I finished week 5 on Saturday, even after walking around at the flea market for 4 hours! Anyway, I start week 6 today and am very curious to see how this week goes.

I'll let you know...

Oh and P.S.--Thanks Suge for pointing out I was breaking my no lying rule. It was for a good cause though, right?!

What am I turning into?

Last night I tried to pass barbeque off as chicken. I must think he has the memory of fruit fly, because I had already told him they didn't have chicken, but as soon as he decided he didn't want to eat the barbeque I said, no it's chicken. He said, "It looks like barbeque."

I've decided to try a no lying approach (well except for Santa etc).

I'll let you know how that goes...

Race for the Cure

Week 4 ended just right. I did my program Saturday during the Race for the Cure. I finished in 40 minutes and raised $500! Not too bad, considering I thought it'd be atleast 45 minutes and $100. Anyway, Suge and Wildman were waiting for me at the end with a sign! How sweet is that?!?!!? Too sweet. Wildman ran the last couple yards with me to the end, also VERY sweet. All in all, I'm shocked I don't have shin pain, since that was just my 2nd time to run outside and after my outside run last time I had shin pain for 2 days. Anyway, so far so good. Don't get me wrong, it's not easy (last week I had to run after 8:00 p.m. twice!), but I like having a goal.

So, hello week 5- this should be interesting. I'll let you know...

WEEK 3, No problem

Just a quick update on my running. I made it through week 3. I'm beginning to wonder if I'll actually be running 3.1 in 30 minutes when all is said and done, but nonetheless I am running and I'm not stopping. Every week the challenge is upped, but we are going to do this-(the we is me and QT-code name of course). We actually got to run together on Tuesday and that was nice. I wish we could every time but alas, it's only a dream.

Monday is my 7 year wedding anniversary. It really doesn't seem like it's been that long ago. Just wish I could remember more of the actual day. I need to break out the video. Where's the VCR? Wait what? I guess it has been a while.

Hugs and love Suge. You are the best!

Blah Blah Blah

I've got to get over this funk! I broke down today. What is wrong with me? I had a fantastic lunch with a friend I don't see often enough, and I still feel blah-blah-blah.

Maybe my last run for the week will change the way I feel. It's a perfectly pleasant fall and I'm ready to enjoy it! Apple cider and all.

I'm going to run/walk in the Race for the Cure next weekend. If you are interested in making a donation to my goal let me know. We all know someone that has been affected by Breast Cancer. I'm on a team organized by a friend whose Mom has Breast Cancer, but she's going to be there to WALK! Praise the Lord! I'm going to just run/walk my program for the day, so hopefully I won't be dead at the end. I ask Mom to come up so she and Sawyer can wait for me at the end with the wagon. I'll be sure to let you know how that goes...

Now, I'm going to go start enjoying this fall with a load of laundry. Wait, what?

7 weeks/7 years

So I finished my 2nd week of couch to 5K and it went pretty good. Who am I kidding? I was so discouraged after Tuesday (my first run of the week) I felt like giving up. The beauty of this whole thing is I do have 2 people that am accountable to. So...I did it. All three times this week I pushed through. I am worried about this week as my shins are really hurting after my run on Saturday but I must press on. I'll let you know how that goes.

Suge and I have our 7 year anniversary coming up. It seems like yesterday, but it seems like light years ago. In December we'll be celebrating 12 years together. Wow! Just to say it seems weird. I think I'll break out the wedding dress this year and see if it fits. I'm really doubting it. Maybe I'll just break it out right now (having second thoughts, it's hanging in Wild Man's closet and he's asleep). I'll get back to you on that. Anyway, our church just started a series on marriage and it could not have come at a better time. We all need reminders, wake up calls, and the knowledge that we all go through the same sorts of trials. We also need to be reminded of what God's plan of marriage was all about. It's amazing that 2,000 years ago someone wrote that men need respect and women need love. Like the pastor said today, that was WAY before psych 101 came along. I know I got some real reminders today. I love you and respect you Suge, and I know I don't show it or say it like I should, but I'm going to work on that...
