Weekend update

{obviously a day late but better late than never}

One.

I ran in Ridgeland, MS this past Saturday.
13.1 miles

It was a very nice course until about mile 11 when it took an upward turn for at least a mile.

{I am not exaggerating! And my quads are still burning!}

Thankfully David and Stuart had jumped in {bandits!!} at mile 8 to run the rest of the way with me.

Without them pushing me {and David pestering me with "You can do it. You are almost there. Pick it up a little or you won't make it"}, I probably would not have made it under my 2 hour goal.

Yessssssss!

{next goal: under 1:57 which is what I ran in PT school}

Two.

After the race I stayed and hung out with these 2 nuts.

Almost 38 years of marriage and sometimes they still act like kids.

Three.

I am currently obsessed with Kelly Clarkson's new CD.

More specifically, I am obsessed with "Already Gone".

It may sound kind of like "Halo" but it's better.

I might have listened to it on repeat for an hour on the way home.

Four.

I am feeling the need to do something crafty.

Loving this cooler weather!

I was sporting new sweaters all weekend!

And that, my friends, is the update.

Hope your Monday was a good one!
