cuddles up with y'all

I woke up early this morning and hopped a MARTA train downtown to cheer on the half-marathons right before they reached mile ten. I had a lot of fun and I hope I gave some people the encouragement to keep going. I stayed until long after the woman with the 'back of the pack' flag came by, as there were still a bunch more runners around.

I swear, one person says something and everyone else hears what they want to.

This is a universal truth--especially with regards to family.

Oh, yeah. And so much more frustrating when it's family, too, isn't it?

Yes. Hard to cut the trouble out of your life when they're ingrained like that. LOL

I love that site. It is a fantastic time waster, and yet, if you play the right games you can learn so much!

In 2008 I ran 3 5ks, but I was also training to do the Breast Cancer 3 Day, which I did in October of that year, and again in July/August of 09. Since then I haven't done any kind of running or walking event and I regret it. I have been running a couple of times recently (and by running I mean jogging for like, ten steps and then walking, and then twenty minutes later deciding to run again) but I definitely need to get back to it often.

I know if I go ahead and sign up for one, I'll do it. So, off to search the interet!

Oh, awesome! I hope you decide to sign up for one - and good luck with training if you do!!

I think it's cool that you taught yourself the countries of the world. I was trying to do the little test, but my computer crashed. I'm sure I can't even name half of them and I teach Geography. Pretty sad. :(

Yay for signing up for a 5K. I hope you do it! :D You are awesome! ♥

Thanks! I have taken that test for weeks trying to learn get it. I found that you can do ones for each of the continents, which definitely helped!

Thanks! I found one to go with, so I'm really excited!
