Good thoughts

Ok, i promise this post won't be negative! Thanks for the advice ladies - i constantly need to be reminded to keep a positive outlook; i wasn't nicknamed "Eeyore" growing up for nothing!

Saturday afternoon/evening, i organized an Ugly Sweater Pub Crawl for my friends as a way to raise money for BB/BS. I'm happy to report i am now only $100 away from my goal!!!! I can't tell you how excited this makes me - my friends truly came through for me. I've posted a couple of pics at the end of this post. :)

I missed our group run on Saturday morning, since Tom's office holiday party was the night before. BUT i am happy to report i made up the 10 miles yesterday! Boy, let me tell you - after a weekend full of drinking and eating fried food, a 10 mile run is ROUGH. The first half wasn't that bad, but by the time i hit mile 9 i was completely out of energy, i barely had anything left. But the weather conditions were perfect - overcast, light sprinkle, i ran in new neighborhoods for different scenery AND my legs/calves gave me no problems! Woo!

This Saturday, our group run is TWELVE miles. I'm nervous, but excited to try the distance. I know there will be many walk breaks ahead, but as long as i can make it though, the 1/2 marathon should be no problem. (Famous last words.)

Have you ever seen such festive sweaters? (Note: i'm wearing my "Believe 13.1" necklace!)

The group at the last bar; good times!
