Happy Birthday, Marathong Mama

Happy Birthday to you!

Happy Birthday to you!

I am so glad that you are in my life.

You inspire me, motivate me, mentor me & basically just crack me up!

I love you.

We are going to kick butt on Saturday!

You rock, you superhero, you!!!

Happy Anniversary to Me!!

Superhero friends, 3 years ago on Tuesday, February 25, 2003 I walked into an all women's gym looking for help. Today, Sunday, February 26, 2006, I ran 10 miles in preparation for my SECOND half marathon. God is so good!! I am so glad that I began to see myself the way He sees me & was set free from all that held me down. Amazing friends were sent into my life to help me along on the journey. Be inspired, superheroes. The potential lies within us all. All things are possible!

12 Days & Counting

Saturday, March 4th, I will be running or run/walking the Chattanooga Half Marathon with my superhero girlfriend, Marathong Mama. Her 1st Half, my 2nd. She is a big follower of John "The Penguin" Bingham, only she also forgets "Penquin" & calls him "The Turtle". We will be using his run/walk program. It should be good. Our goal is to beat my 2:39 time from last summer. So wish us luck, I have a feeling we may need it! :)

Happy Birthday, Baby!!

Six years ago I was blessed to give birth to an amazing little girl.
She has added so much joy & beauty to what was for so long
a total dump truck/dinosaur boy world.
She truly is a superhero in the making.

I am truly privileged to be called her mother & can't wait to see what the future holds for her.

A Few Pics from Cabo San Lucas

CABO! CABO! CABO!

I haven't posted in a week because last Thursday at the crack of dawn, Superspouse & I left for 5 day, 4 night all expense paid vacation to the beautiful RIU Palace de Cabo San Lucas curtesy of Ford Motor Company. Superspouse is also a superior Service Manager for a local Lincoln Mercury dealership. It was the trip of a lifetime. All inclusive resorts are the way to go. We were treated like kings. We did a whale watching tour, went horseback riding on the beach, met some great people, dickered over prices at the village flea markets & finished entire conversations without being interupted by children!!! Pictures will follow in a day or two.
P.S. The serious training for the Country Music Half Marathon starts tomorrow!!!

With Friends Like These....

Enviroman & his sidekick, CamperBoy, threatened to get even with 'Thong & I several months ago for a disparaging remark (SLACKER!) we left on many, many, many Post It Notes stuck to their trucks one morning at the Y. Our payback came, quite unexpectedly, today. After a COLD 26 degree, 2 mile run at 5:30 am, we returned to the Y & found our vans "Saran Wrapped" together with graffiti up the ying-yang.
Disclaimer: 'Thong & I are not at all "Skanky"...it just happens to be one of her favorite words.
