Mandy J blog tagged me!

Howdy Everyone!

So Mandy J (yes I am still calling you Mandy J although you are a wonderful smitty now :)) blog tagged me and I am now sure what that means. It looks like I am supposed to post unknown or interesting facts about myself? I will try to come up with new ones, but some of you might know most of these lovely facts!

- I am an only child although the dogs sometimes got treated better than I did growing up :)
- I wore a smaller size swim suit in college than I did when I was 5-- yes I was the fat kid
- For show and tell in 2nd grade I brought a mold of the inside of my mouth and I even showed the class my retainer-- yeah I was cool
- I got 2nd place in the city for my science project on acid rain when I was in 6th grade
- I went with a group of friends to prom my senior year and I ended up going to the emergency room that night
- I was accident prone in middle school and managed to get hit by a truck. I also fainted at a choir rehearsal and broke my jaw in 2 places, busted open my ear drum and still have a wicked scar on my chin. My jaw was wired shut for weeks and my friend Virginia gave me a pack of gum as a get well present.. hahahha...
- My biggest regret so far is not going to my grandmas funeral my senior year of college
- My parents and I lived with my grandma from when I was 6 until 16.
- I still cant drive a standard car, but I did drive a tractor recently!
- My friend and I thought we were going to get killed by my roommate my freshman of college after I called her out on something via instant messenger. We ran to the swim coach to get help. ha haha
- The best camp I have ever been to was marine biology camp and no I am not kidding
- I was the lead in my school play in 5th grade
- I still follow my dads advice-- KISS- keep it simple stupid

Well I think that is good enough for now.... I tag Dan C and LZ

Its been a while

I haven't written in a while! I hope all of you are doing well and had a great Halloween. I must be getting old because I didn't do anything for Halloween. I went to dinner and watched a scary movie and that was about it. Going down town at Halloween around here is CRAZY. Everyone and their weird moms comes out to play. I think my dad told me enough horror stories about 6th street when I was younger that it has been permanently embedded in my brain! I actually listened to you dad. Arent you proud?

I have nothing new to report. I am only on week 3 of my marathon training and this time around is going to be a tough one. My body is just not what it use to be! Hopefully if I have injuries they will at least be early on and I can still recover and run. Unlike the past 2 times that I have trained where I am a month out and have to pull out because of my calve! I am doing more strength training and core work to hopefully help overall. I have been swimming to and that is good for the stretching and I go during lunch so I get some sun :)

Work is alright. Nothing special. wooo woooo.

I have a busy busy weekend! I am going to Wurst Fest (its a beer, sausage fest a ha ha) on Friday night, helping sell Sweet Leaf Tea for Big Brothers and Big Sisters on Sat morning, then the UT game Saturday afternoon and then I have to run 11 miles on Sunday morning. Im excited about my weekend but hopefully it will get here soon.

byeee,
