Five For Friday

Anna, Jenny
Amy, Lisa, Janae and Kelly
(not too bad for a self timer!)

1. Thursday night I was invited to the Sista's favorite things party. I haven't seen Anna in years and finally got to meet Lisa for the first time. A special thanks to Janae for being a fabulous host. It was a fun night of chatting and laughter not to mention the yummy desserts!


2. Monday Amber and I did a practice race run for the Ragnar Relay. We ran 8 miles at noon, 7 miles at 9pm and had intentions on waking up and doing the final 4 in the morning. Due to weather (pouring rain of all things) I had to run the remainder on the treadmill. Talk about painful! But, we survived and at least know we are prepared for the race. And speaking of running , I have been so fortunate to not have any injuries during my training minus a couple of missing toenails. Thursday morning we ran a quick 4 miles and I tripped and fell on the sidewalk. I felt like a complete idiot !!(like that Seinfield episode) I jumped back up and luckily wasn't hurt, you all know you wish you would have seen a video of that--ha.

Carol, Angela, Tiffany and me

3. A few weeks ago I was reassigned to a new visiting teaching companion and visiting new people. I set up the appointments at none other than Chick Fila. It couldn't have worked out more perfectly. I was able to get my Diet Coke, and the kids could play while we chatted. Definitely a win.win for all.

4. The trek is less than three weeks away. Saturday is our last training meeting. I know it will be a great experience, but I have some major anxiety about it. Period.

5. I am tired just thinking about tomorrow, updates coming soon.......

Ohhhhh, I forgot you'd have the trek in the winter! I kept thinking it wouldn't be until summer. As I told myself each trek, "Adrenalin can get you through anything for a few days." Anybody that is running like you should have no worries about a trek and what it might bring.
