Before After

Hump Day!!

Happy Wednesday everyone!!

I am getting pretty excited for my trip to Big D on Friday.  Jerel said he would bring my suitcase up tonight so I can start packing.  I actually have some clothes that I'm taking to Txlass and some that I need to return to her, so it looks like I'll be taking my bigger suitcase rather than the "weekender".

I wanted to let you all know that Jerel received ANOTHER 4.0 for this last semester, and will now graduate on Friday with his Masters in Finance.  His overall GPA is a 3.889.  I am SO proud of him.  It's been a long 18 months but obviously very worth it.  Little does he know that next week he's going to join a gym and start getting into shape!!  Mmmmwwwwhhhhaaaaa!!  He's put it off for too long.  Besides, I need a run buddy.

Tonight I am going to a meeting for Team in Training so I can participate in the Nike Half Marathon (or, maybe the full marathon - haven't decided yet) in October in San Francisco.  I wasn't chosen back in April from the random draw and since I really want to participate I guess I'll have to raise some money!  Besides - if I'm lucky I will get to see Shelley and RBR again.

Let's see - as far as workouts have gone this week I've done great.  Ran the 10K on Sunday, on Monday I took a Gravity training class and yesterday Tara kicked my butt (literally, and my lats) with my new program for May.  Today is a well-deserved day off.  Tomorrow I need to run and on Friday I hope to use the gym at my hotel with Txlass so I can show her what my workout is like.

I will let you all know the the TNT meeting goes.  Have a great afternoon!!

Wow!

That GPA is awesome!  I know you are proud of him.  And I am so proud of you!  Now you might run a half or a full.  Okay, you are so officially a runner!   I love it!

And, you don't suck!  Girl, you are offering me some free MJs.  How could I even begin to complain.  Look, I am going to send you my address....via the "Contact Me" button.  I really, really, really appreciate this.  REALLY!  Did I mention that?

Congrats

to Jerrel.....I start my Masters the day after the heels and Hills....eeekkk!

What time do you get in?...Tiff arrives about 10:30ish am.....we hope...she's coming stand-by (nonrev) ....so she could get bumped....fortunately there are a bunch of flights between Dallas and Phoenix everyday.

Went to my old gym to cancel my membership and there was a sign taped up that they were out of business.....but Bill and I are joining LA fitness...so I'm excited that I will finally get to look at getting a personal trainer.

Wow

Congratulations to your DH for his awesome GPA!! I know that you are so super proud of him!

Wowwee!

Already planning for your first mini and/or full. Did you ever think it would be possible?

I would love to do the Disney Minnie in Orlando someday but it is actually a fundraiser--I think you have to have at least $2000.00 in sponsors. I read on another ep blog last year that they have a huge street celebration for all the runners in Epcot. How cool would that be?

How exciting about the hubby! He won't have to pay for a personal trainer b/c he has you!

Have a great time!

Thats great that you ran another 10K! Good luck on your race this weekend and have a great time! Congrats to Jerel and I think thats awesome that you're gonna recruit him as your running buddy!

Take care!

Shelley
