Stuff and fluff

  • I’m in week 10 of the Hanson’s Half Plan. 4 Tempo miles were run before work this morning. Nothing too exciting to report about this week’s runs except that I’m at 18/40 miles for the week.
  • I got a call from another sponsor this morning and they committed to $3,500, up $1k from last year. I was pretty excited, and then about 30 minutes later, the phone rang again. It was a brand new sponsor, who told me he was so excited to talk about sponsorship that he couldn’t wait to call me! He committed to at least $5000, but would like to leave his options open to adjusting that level to $10,000 as the year goes on. Um, yes please!?
  • So then I totaled my committed levels and I’m at $35,500/$50,000.  BOOM.  Feels good. Feels real good.

  • I’m having dinner with a college girl friend tonight. We lived next door to each other our freshman year and have been friends ever since. She has lacked some direction in her life and next month she will join the Air Force. I’m proud of her, but don’t think I could do that!
  • In other news, I made an effort with my appearance today and couldn’t quite put a finger on who I reminded myself of:

And then it hit me: 

Minnie Freakin’ Mouse! (Minus the yellow shoes and hair bow!)

Halloween Costume ideas?!?!

Happy Friday Eve everyone! 

Left: 2008, 90ish Lbs heavier. Right: Today

  • Sometimes, you just need a little perspective. I found some today via the photo on the left. I’m doing just fine on this whole weight-loss journey I do believe. 
  • Evidently I just needed the Nutrition Store guy to make me feel bad about myself a few weeks ago, because as of today, I’m down 8 Pounds! I don’t think I really don’t need to lose the 20 pounds he said I do, but as I’ve documented here, I’ve been trying to lose about 10 pounds for awhile now. I’m so close to my goal, it’s awesome. 
  • I found out on Friday that my work travel has doubled this summer! So far I’m going to Arizona in May. I hope to meet this-incredible-journey​ too! Then Seattle in June for 4 days, and 10 days after that I’ll head to Orlando, FL for a work conference for another 4 days. After that, it looks like I’m going to Sequoia National Park for a trip with some of the members in August for a week. I’m so freakin’ excited!

  • I have to run 40 miles this week. Ooof. That hurts. Oh Hanson’s and your cumulative fatigue. 
  • I’m getting another sports massage on Wednesday. I’m hoping that this one does not put me down for the count like the one I got last month did.
  • My weekends are beginning to fill up again…baby showers, bridal showers, and my birthday is 2 weeks from today!!! 
  • The time change is this weekend! I like that extra hour of sunlight in the evenings! It makes it so much easier to get outside and run.

That’s all I have for you today…Have a great day friends!
