Pot Luck

Whew! It's been a while since I've written. The world around me just keeps moving and I am being pulled along for the ride. It's been fun. But I needed to take a moment and get some of these thoughts out of my head!

First, a big shout out to Casey who sent me some pictures to post here so that we can put faces with names. The first picture is of Casey and I taken at my birthday lunch for the office. The second one was the same day with Stephen. It was a good birthday lunch and afterwards, Larry (the boss) treated us all to a tour of the new International Civil Rights Museum.

At bible study that night, the gang got me a birthday cake! Yummy! On Sunday, mom came into town for church and lunch and gave me my birthday presents! I got my Garmin watch which is wonderful! I even took it for a 4 mile run tonight. It is really going to help me with my pace outside. Alex and Shannon got me a supply of my favorite shot blocks! As Alex knows, I get a little testy on a ride when I have to share them. Alex also brought me back a "I love NY" t-shirt. Kathy got me a racing belt and a ankle timing chip holder! I am ready to race! What a GREAT birthday week!

On Saturday, I went with Kathy bright and early to meet Alex and the gang at the NC Marathon. Shannon and Alex were running the half and I was going to run with Alex to warm up! What a time we had. Kathy is a great cheerleader. In the afternoon, we went to Red Robin to celebrate the event! I am so proud of the girls. It was very motivating to watch the event. It got me excited about White Lake and being out there competing myself.

I have had some really good workouts this week and I think I finally have my eating under control. I am motivated to keep changing. It's going to be another busy weekend but I am ready! Bring on the fun!
