Day 134: ::sigh::

Let's just all take a moment and marvel.

Day 133: I DID IT!!

If you look up "Runner's High" in the dictionary, this pic* should be right next to the definition.

Still incredulous-- I CANNOT believe my legs, my lungs, my brain did that! 13.1 miles!!

I am feelin' soooooo good right now. :)



*so technically I cheated today-- my bestie Nicolita actually took this pic, but given I couldn't feel my legs, knees, fingers or bum for about 45mins after this run, figure I get a pass

Day 132: Carbo-Loading

My Last Supper of sorts:
chicken alfredo w/ garden veggies, garlic toast and 6-8 cups of water

I forgot how busy restaurants can be on weeknights in College Station. Nonetheless, I showed up at Cheddar's, The Hobbit (or there and back again) in hand, and sat and read and hydrated and carb-loaded until my sweet little heart was content.

Half Marathoning it up in the AM!

Day 131: My church rocks.

This is Christmas Jubilee; an evening of dinner, dancing and fellowship.

After an incredibly stressful week and an equally full day, it was actually delightful to spend a little time getting pretty.

So even if I hadn't enjoyed a good meal, sweet conversations with people that I don't see often enough, dancing my boo-tay off and meeting our new Pastor and his wife, it still would have been a great night.

There is something about getting all dolled up that  lifts the spirits like nothing else can.

Day 130: Introducing...

Walmart's line of Plus Size earrings

Go ahead. Do a double take. Yup. You saw right.

Plus Size EARRINGS.

What the what, Walmart!?! Seriously??

Day 127: [torrential] showers bring...

gigantic mutant earthworms, apparently.

I happened upon this government experiment gone wrong on the walk to work today. I put the penny down so that it would be clear how abnormally massive this thing is.

When the time came to collect, I decided to cut my losses... Lincoln got left.
