We had an awesome day today, we went down to the beach and hung out on the jetty and watched all the boats sail in and out of the harbor, had a nice lunch at a restaurant on the water, we watched one of our favorite movies earlier......
Got Frank Sinatra crooning on the puter, it's all good as the kids say......
There is no shame in that! Everyone has to start somewhere.
You probably beat my best time doing that! I'm the slowest runner out there. I have a really short stride. I'm one of those people that looks like they are going fast, but I don't go anywhere...LOL
Remember I'm only five feet tall?! I'm not exactly fast myself. LOL A coworker ran it with me, and we both expected there to be spots where it was so crowded that we would have to go really slow. We decided as long as we kept picking our feet up and didn't walk, we could still say we ran it. That didn't happen, though. We had plenty of space to actually run and we even sprinted to the finish line. It was a color run, so parts of my scalp are still blue. Haha.
I think I'd like to do more runs, but we'll see. I am afraid my plantar fasciitis might be coming back.

Oh that's right! LOL
My inseam is something like 24"...sad, sad, sad. But I go as fast as I can and try to beat my previous time.
I was going to particpate in a color run in Sept...but that was before I knew I'd be getting "colored". I just can't do it. I can't be sweaty and then have dirt sticking to my body...that's like torture for me and I'd be completely irritable!
There's a glow in the dark, light up race coming here soon...I think October. I may sign up for that one.

That's the best approach to take.
It was fun getting "colored" but it was a little irritating when it would go up my nose. Supposedly it's natural and safe to eat, blah blah blah. It's not something I will be doing very often, though, so I'm not too worried about it. It was probably better for me than a mud run. I can't stand having dirt and mud all over me (can't even stand the feel of sand on my feet...no beaches for me!) A glow in the dark run sounds fun!
Of course, we don't exactly live in a high population area, so I'm guessing if we want to do more runs we will probably have to travel.
I need cherries to make a recipe I bought some other ingredients for. It's a salmon dish with a mint cherry sauce. Hope I still have the complete recipe, got it from one of those tasting stands they put out at the supermarket. It was so scrumptious, I just had to have the recipe that I'll probably never make if I keep forgetting to pick up all I need to make it with.
Oooh, that sounds interesting, TRosa.

She overheard my friend say something about my birthday dinner being crappy, I guess, and the manager came over with a huge sunday for us to share and apologized. I ended up having to get a doggy bag for my steak because my friends had already eaten and I didn't want to sit there and eat with everyone staring at me.
When the bill came it was over $100, but the total was $0.
Happy Birthday, minxy! Total bill $0 = Priceless.

Four months ago I could barely run. I am pretty happy I met my goal.

LOL, just joshing... don't want to offend people out there....
They need to come up with kosher bacon.
