Tina Fey for president!!!!




Tina Fey is a favorite in our house recently. If you don't watch 30 Rock, you're missing out on a fantastic comedy as well as a look into what my daily life seems to be like. Aside from that her recent SNL skits imitating Sarah Palin are priceless!!!! Not to say that just listening to Sarah Palin alone isn't funny enough. If she isn't enough to sink the republicans I don't really know what is...

Wonderful news!

Well I've been training pain free for short distances. I've also picked up on the weight training and started doing some P90X again. I'm going to hold off on the plyometrics for a while though. Anyway, my good news is, since I've only been able to run short distances Dan has joined me! He doesn't really like to run, but I think he's enjoying it. Yesterday he was able to run a mile without walking. With the weather being so nice out now, it's such a nice way to relax after work.

He's probably agreed to run with me because we have NOTHING else to do after work. We can't get TV or internet at the new house yet. We had direct TV come out, but the trees around the house are too high for the satellite. There is a company that's working on getting high speed internet to rural areas and we're on their list, but we're just not sure how long of a wait it will be. We're finally getting our house unpacked. Some of our stuff has been in boxes since July so it's like Christmas! Our house is looking really nice! Probably one more weekend of work and it'll be picture read. I'll post some as soon as I have them! :)

released!

I was released from PT today!!! I've been running every other day for two weeks and it feels great. Problem is I've only been running short distances, so I'm really not sure if in six weeks I'll be ready for the Marathon. I know everyone has told me to delay till next year and it seems like the smartest thing to do. But there's still a part of me that thinks I can do it...

Oh Well, either way I'm still fundraising for A Running Start. I'm about $1000 away from the minimum. I know this is a crappy time in the economy to be asking for money, but these children have less than we do. Thanks Everyone!!!

hard choices

I have a really hard decision to make. I really don't think I'm going to be ready for this marathon. I've been running pain free but very short distances. It's only seven and half weeks away. I know this seems like a no brainer, just don't run it. It I cancelled I would still be responsible for the fundraising for A Running Start. I could possible defer my entrance to next year, but I'll have to check. I really don't know what to do.
