Yeah!! I ran for two miles today. I went to Run for Your Life with my friend, Amy, and we bought me some new running shoes (for which I had to take out a loan!). Later on, I took the boys to the YMCA, checked them in and headed for the track. I set my sights on two miles and I did it. I am so excited. I am hoping to run a four-miler on March 18th. Yipee! And I know you are all eagerly awaiting to hear what my time was...well, 24:00 minutes flat. Not tooooooo shabby for little 'ole me. Thanks to Amy and to everyone else who sent little notes of encouragement.

I am thankful for...
1. the mini-ipod Todd gave me for my 29th birthday. I am finally putting it to good use.
2. the absolutely gorgeous weather as a ran this afternoon.
3. watching Michael and Caroline playing games and having fun while we were eating lunch. I find it so interesting to watch three year olds socially interact. Especially my (almost) three year old.
4. the rave reviews Todd gave me for the dinner I prepared and served tonight. Unlike myself, he can be very picky, so a good word from the MAN is a big compliment.
5. the cookies that Amy P. made for me for running 1 1/3 miles yesterday.
6. the news that my girl scout cookies are going to be delivered on Saturday.
7. my new (size 9) running shoes...YEAH!
8. Daniel drinking half of a bottle tonight. He's coming around!
9. the really nice pest-control man that serviced our home today. It is nice to hire someone I would definitely recommend to someone else.
10. XM radio.

Amy..Good job on the run. I am at just over 2 miles...but a bit slower since I am currently doing interval training with walking and running...now 2.09 miles in 30 mins! I am working toward a half marathon possibly in June! I also had to refi my condo to buy my new running shoes! Keep up the good work and I will fly back there and run some cool race with you and then Todd and I can have a cigar after we finish!
amy - it's so awesome that you're becoming a runner! it inspires me... not nec. to run, but still inspires me:) mel
