Goal: MET! Woohoo!

Goal met!

Words cannot describe how grateful and thankful I am to EVERYONE who pitched in towards my goal for the American Cancer Society’s DetermiNation Team!!  Thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart and I truly mean that. You are making a difference in the lives of others and cancer treatment/research.  You are awesome so thank you again!

I so cannot wait to run this:

nola

And do this:

nola2 

It’s NEXT WEEKEND!!!! Aaaaaaah!  I am doubly excited because I get to see my good friend Heather and her parents and Bobby!  Yay!  My husband is off as well so we all get to hang out!  Woohoo!  I also get to see my Sister in Law Kayla cause she’s running the race as well! 

I ran 6 miles with my Running Group this morning and I had a blast as usual, even in the icy cold weather!  It’s odd because we are now in the Spring 5K/10K training season and everyone was running “low” mileage and it felt strange….I wouldn’t have called 6 miles “low mileage” just a year ago. It’s amazing how our perspective changes, huh?

Anyway, after we ran, we had a little seminar on what to do in NOLA for RnR weekend, where to meet up, etc., then a few friends of mine and I went to a cute little local cafe for breakfast!  It was just what we needed….it hit the spot! 

After we ate, I came home and got ready for my Sister In Law’s (Jason’s Sister) bridal shower…I’ll talk more about that later but I will say…If I EVER hear the words CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN again, I will become violent and throw things SCREAM!  I dealt with that dang chocolate fountain for almost 2 hours and I still couldn’t get it to work.  I wanted to throw the entire thing in the trash by the end of it all!  Hah! UGH!

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend so far!  Stay warm!!! :0)

  3. It never ceases to amaze me that I spend so much time worrying about how cold it is before I go out for a run, I'm in Michigan, but once I'm out there and chatting with other runners the cold weather doesn't enter into my mind.
    I love that you too think of 6 miles as "low". I love that! What a great feeling.
    Congratulation, on making your goal. My running group is running to get better seating and toys for our pediatric oncology clinic. I hope we make ours.
    Have a great day.
