WASSUP YOU GUYS???
Sorry I have been gone forevah-evah, but a big huge THANK YOU to Wendie for covering for me as I ran 13.1 miles in the Arizona Rock ‘N’ Roll half-marathon yesterday. I have made so many positive and healthy changes in my life the past year, and this was really the culmination of it, and I am so proud of myself for finishing. Honestly, you guys, if I can do this, anyone can. Deciding to do this half-marathon, and training for it, has really changed my life for the better. It has helped build my self-confidence and my physical and emotional strength, and I would recommend it to anyone looking to make a big change in the way their life works.
And is everyone psyched for the inauguration of President-elect Obama tomorrow? How freakin’ awesome is it that MLK Day immediately precedes it? The timing is just perfect. I’m so excited!
What are you guys doing tomorrow for inauguration night?
Does anyone know of anything going on in Scottsdale? I have no plans and I definitely want to be a part of some festivities!!!
Major congrats Beet! ^_^
We’re celebrating here, too. We were going to have an inauguration party at our house, but since everyone is working or whatnot, I’m just taking the day off and sitting in my PJs, wearing my big #1 foam finger, and ponder doing a half marathon to celebrate.
It’s crappy goings on here in Midland, TX. After Obama sends Bush on his way out of Washington, stinking Bush is coming here. Soooo, the whole city is closing down to welcome back their “native son”. Schools are letting out early, everything is closing, and we are all expected to celebrate this guy whose departure from office I will be vehemently cheering.
Stinking Midland.
I totally forgot he was from Midland. I know Dallas is preparing, too since he and his wife purchased a home here. They have actually had to gate their street because so many people have driven past. I think it’s not only for their safety but for their neighbors.
Hmmm, I wonder if living next door to a former President increases the appreciation on your home?
Congrats Beet, that’s a major accomplishment ;) I need to get my ass running again~
Ignoring it.
Beet you have been quite inspiring this last year you’ve gone from a often ill smoker to a non smoker running half a fucking marathon and that is fucking awesome!
Congrats Beet!
As for the rest, I’m so sick of hearing about it already that I cannot wait for it to be over.
It’s my birthday, so I do what I want! Woo!
