I love numbers.

So far this year... I have done a lot. It is really neat to see what time I have put into myself this year.

I changed the look of my blog today. Time for change I guess! I liked the backgroup picture so I just sort of went with it. Spring is gone and now we are entering the nice rich warm hues of late summer. It just feels like it represents where I am now.

I also added a link right above my profile picture that will take you to my training log. I figure that this way I have a place to blog about life and the journey - then if you really want the details - you can see the journey step by step.

Updates complete!

I updated this blog twice today - and finally decided on this 3-column design. I am pretty ahppy. Still a little dark, but oh well. I will see what I can do about lightening it up a little bit - but for now it will do! I now need to work on my ROE blog. It is good for starters, but man I really need to make it better!

Today I ended up at the gym to work on back and bi's. Tomorrow AM it will be chest and tris again, and for me I will be completing a 5 miler somewhere. KMP if nice, home if not so nice.

I wish all a great evening!

Keep on running!

A non-running weekend - but for a good cause!

This will be a quickie just to update everyone on my progress.

Mile ran this weekend = ZERO
Reason why I missed my run today = I was TIRED.

Not a good enough excuse? Yes actually it is. In this case. ;) I was at the Genesys Regional healthcare Center's Emergency Room with my best friend Christina last night until 4AM today. I got home around 8AM - and woke up at 5:30PM in time for dinner with Mike's family for mother's day.

Christina is doing MUCH better. Still not cured of the mystery illness... still in pain and hopped up on Vicadin, but other than that - at least she is out of the Hospital!

So little to report this weekend except that I had a wonderful time with my mother Saturday! We had a blast shopping and eating and just enjoying each other's company.

Happy Mother's Day to all of you hot mamas out there!

And remember - keep on running!
