If any one were to ask me what my favorite number was my immediate response would be 27. Twenty seven has been my favorite number for as long as I remember. It partially started when I was young and also happens to be the day of the month I was born on. As I got older special events that happened in my life actually also fall on this date. Truth be known I NEVER planned any of them, they always just seemed to fall on the 27th. In case you were wondering here are just a few:
My birthday: July 27th
Day of my baptism: September 27th
Day I went through the temple for my own endowment: November 27th
Day Doug and I got married (the only day the temple was open: December 27th.
Do you see a pattern? With numbers on my brain this brings me to the current energy drink I have been taking. I am by no means one of those people who take vitamins, believe in supplements (I know bad) but my friend Julie insisted I try this supplement, so being a big girl I did. And you know what? It actually has made me feel pretty good. I won't lie, the taste isn't fabulous it reminds me of REALLY sweet grape juice (not my favorite). However you are only required to drink 1-2 ounces, which is partly why I don't mind it.
The other name for it is Exfuse. I had never heard of it until moving here, but apparently it's pretty big in Utah. It has definitely helped me through some of my longer morning runs. Last Monday Amber and I tackled 11 beastly miles. I used to be able to run solo, but my running partner has definitely made it more doable.
Official time: 2 hours 6 minutesMileage: 13.1 baby!
Today we ran a half marathon!! The good news is I feel pretty good, except for a little soreness in my ankles. The disappointing news is I don't have a cool shirt OR a medal to support around my neck. I did celebrate by getting a FREE pedicure (given to me at my favorite things party). It definitely hit the spot on my TEN toes.

Yay, Jenny. Happy 27 to you. I'm amazed at your running. You've taken it to new heights. Way to go.
Good for you! Too bad you didn't get an official medal!
You are one fast girl!
Oh yeah, I HATE energy drinks, but I love sport beans made by Jelly Belly (I like the fruit punch flavor) and shot blocks by Cliff Bar in the cranberry flavor. They are great for those mid-runs on the long ones.
I really enjoy running with a running buddy. The last few months, i have been run on my own. I do miss having some-one to run with.
Way to go on 13 miles. YOU ROCK! :)
OH that is a great time.!
Great post! I need to be better about doing an exercise journal so that I can remember how far I've come. Next time I'm going with you to get a pedi!
Cute post!! 27 is a very good number!!
A half marathon?? HOly Cow...you go!!! (is it horrible that I am just so happy it is not me that has to run that much?? )
Oh....and HAPPY HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!! The snow looks so fun! What a great get a way!
I have a number as well (2) and lots of crazy reason why, just like you.
I'm impressed with your mileage. I think 7 1/2 in one hour is my longest. And it was hard. I can't imagine doing 13. Good luck as you add more to it.
