The race I'm looking at is the Old Kent River Bank Run 5, 10 or 25K. The SIL wants to do the 10K, we'll see - I'm having some training issues. I talked to my DD's about coming with me and registering as a "team" and they were pumped, so maybe it'll be a family fast walk instead of a race. The last time I wanted to do a race, I was belly up and wishing for death.

Cassie I haven't moved yet & right now it's on hold as my ex is really making an effort to see our son....soooo... i can't move him farther away.

That sounds like a real "Up-scale" event there Mike. I thought the carb-loading was scheduled for later this week? I'm in no place to criticize. Sitting here at nearly 1,100 for the day, and planning an all-out cardio workout this evening. It's looking bad for #1 again today.

eh, I'm not a low carber so when I load up it's pretty extreme. LOL I probably won't eat much lasagna, but my SIL will b/c she believes in loading the day before. Then again, she also believes in training (which I think is overrated). Well, I did some training today, I went 1 mile. Does that count?

...Caroline, congrats on almost being married 9 years, especially at a young age. I never could make it much past 1 year. I always that of it as a quick way to drop 125 pounds or so. Being a photgrapher can be a busy job. I have a good friend that's a photographer, I was going to post his webiste for you to see b/c i'm trying to keep the spamming down and didn't want to contribute to it...

I went out all in the beginning of January with Resume's and handed them out to every store in the mall- only after 2 weeks by, when I was waiting for the first interview at the pizza place did I know I had one typo on my Resume, and it was......my phone number! DAH =/ guess I need to quadroople check my work from now on, usually I'm pretty good at that. But now my Resume is fixed and ready to go!
