- I love the Master's. I don't usually watch or follow golf and I don't think I would be any good if I tried to play it (I suck at putt-putt...so golf seems out of the question), but the Master's is a different story. I will be glued to the TV for most of today.
- I have now completed 87 of the 100 miles I set out to walk/run during Lent. Only 13 more to go! I logged a lot of miles this past week since it was Spring Break...27 miles in 7 days...not too shabby!
- The Braves' opening game on Friday night was a blast...so glad they won. Thanks to JH...we had amazing seats! Great game and even better company! I see more Braves' games in my future.
- I was introduced to the idea of a "Front Door List"....if you don't know what it is....it's a list of who you could not say not to if they...well, nevermind...just use your imagination! I trying to figure out who would be on my list...Matthew McConaughey is definitely on there...and maybe Josh Lucas, too!
- I have 4 cakes to do this weekend...hope my wrist can keep up!
- I have signed up for 2 more half-marathons...the Atlanta 13.1 on October 2 in um, well, Atlanta and I also signed up for the Publix Half next March...which is the one I did a few weeks ago.
- The Peachtree Road Race is 12 weeks from tomorrow...this will be Peachtree #7 for me and I am hoping to shave some serious time off the pathetic amount of time it has taken me to complete the Peachtree in years past.
- I ran half a mile yesterday....without stopping...and I didn't die. That might seem like nothing to a lot of people...but it is a pretty big deal for me. Still trying to convince myself that I am a runner. A huge thank you to JH and CE for running with me and being my personal cheerleaders and encouragers. "Just keep running...just keep running!"
- I wish I lived in Atlanta or at least a heck of a lot closer to it. I went to Piedmont Park with some friends yesterday to walk/run and it was beautiful. I have been to the park before for screen on the green and that is where the Peachtree Road Race ends, but this was the first time I had really walked through a lot of the park. If I lived closer, I would be there...all. the. time.
- Speaking of Piedmont, they have a huge dog park. We decided yesterday that taking George to the dog park at Piedmont needs to be my new strategy for meeting Mr. Right. What guy could pass up a cute girl with an even cuter dog, right?!?
That's all for now...
Loved reading this....you inspire me...might I ask if all the walking / running has helped you lose some weight? I need inspiration!!! ;-)

Thanks, Amber. It has helped me lose some weight...but I can't really say how much. My scale at home is acting goofy so I don't know how accurate it is...but I think it's around 10 pounds or maybe a few more. My clothes are fitting much better and even differently than before. A few people who don't see me very often have commented that I have lost weight, so I am guessing that I have lost more than just 2 or 3 pounds. I really think what has helped is upping the mileage and throwing in some running. I have always been a walker per say, but cranking out 5 miles at a time seems to make a difference for me. You can do it, too....just one step at a time. That's what I have to tell myself!
ReplyDeleteYou're an inspiration. We'll just keep eachother motivated!
ReplyDeleteCorey ~ We should meet at the park one day (or go after school) and walk/run...it's so much better and easier when you have someone with you! You, too, my friend are an inspiration...you look amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Melissa! Yes... lets definitely walk/run together! We'll meet that "end of the school year" goal quickly!!!
