I Did It
On Sunday I ran my first half marathon! It was awesome. It felt so good to accomplish something that I never really thought I would do. I did not train to hard for it, so I surprised myself when I ran the first 9 miles. At mile 5 my right quad started to tighten and bother me some. I knew it would not go away. I stopped to stretch it a few times, but that did not really help. By mile 9, my hips were super sore so I just had to walk. I was bummed because cardio wise, I felt GREAT. I walked 2 miles and then finished strong and ran to the finish line. It was so awesome coming in and seeing all the people there cheering. And then, I hear my sweet girl scream, "Mommy, Mommy"! Awwww, it made me smile to big! There she was with Dave and they were cheering me on. Across the way I could hear my Mom and Doug screaming for me too. It was great! I highly encourage everyone to do it! It makes you feel so good! I cannot wait till my next one! But for now, I am just resting my bones, man I was sore afterwards and today is better but my hips and knees are pretty achy.

Blog Award
I woke up this morning to a nice surprise. I had an email that told me my Adoption Update Blog has been added to BlogFronts Top Adoption Blog List! Cool! There is no sweet prize or anything, just a badge to put on my blog to share my news. Still, I am pretty excited. Who would have thought?

Photo Shoot for Contest......I Want To Win
I entered a local contest with one sole purpose......I want to win! Why? Because everyone likes to win, but mainly because the loot is pretty sweet.
A weekend getaway for two (plus spa treatments!) at the luxurious Old Edwards Inn and Spa in Highlands, NC.
A photo shoot with Little Black Dress/Little Red Wagon photographer extraordinaire Summer Adams (of Captures by Summer). Photos from that shoot will appear on the spring covers of LBD/LRW!
A spa refresher package at The Spa at Governors Towne Club ($135 value), which includes an Active Glow facial, followed by Deep Tissue Massage and a protein/vitamin shake.
A haircut, color, design and customized products from the super-posh Avanti Color Salon in Acworth (who, by the way, did Karyn’s hair in the photo above, top left, for last year’s cover).
A full housecleaning from Prestigious Cleaning in Kennesaw (get ready to feel pampered by these great folks!).
A package from Private Gallery @ the East Cobb Avenue, including a handbag, earrings, necklace and bracelets ($100 value). They carry the best brands and styles; this is guaranteed to be some GREAT swag.
A $60 gift certificate for custom children’s clothing with Sweet Designs by Maryum. Adorable designs from this rockin’ Kennesaw mompreneur!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Isn't this a GREAT prize package! I would love the trip for two alone, but the other stuff just sounds so out of my ordinary routine that I am just as excited about it too. So, I hope I win!
Here is the photo I entered. I took it myself along with a dozen others last week in order to enter this contest. 10 second self-timer. You can vote as many times as you want! I'll be voting for myself!
