Running just as fast as we can.....

Holdin' on to one another's hand......

Monday was a loaded day for me and I did not get my exercise in. Therefore I lose 1 point for my Challenge. Right after work I had visiting teachers come over and then I had to hurry and make a salad to take over to Chelsea's. We had a BBQ for Bananie's birthday. By time we got done there and then went to get gas in the truck it was late and getting dark to do anything and I didn't want to go to the gym that late.

On the other hand, as soon as Doran got home from work he went for his 7.25 mile run outside. Then he had just enough time so shower before the party.

Tuesday morning - Audrey and I went on a 5.15 miler. Actually by time I dropped Audrey off we were at 4.5. I don't know why I have this phobia about time. If I go 1.75 miles then I might as well go 2. If I got 3.6, then I might as well go 4. You get the picture. Anyway at 4.5 miles I said, "I might as well go 5", so I added on a couple of blocks. And it was .15 miles too many...then I kicked myself because I STOPPED! I should have gone at least to 5.25. What a phobia I have.

Tuesday Doran went to the gym to do weights and also listen for a phone call from work. He had to go back out for a couple of hours. It turned into more than a couple of hours, he got home after 11:00 p.m. then had to get up and go in the morning on his regular time. O Dark-thirty!!

We have been having problems with our screen (glass) door for years and years. We have replaced and turned it to open the opposite way but the wind still grabs it and yanks it's arms right out of it's sockets. Well last night after Doran left for work......WHISH!!!! There goes to door....SMASH!!! goes the porch light....SHATTER!!! The glass in the door is ok, it's the poor newish porch light. I had to 'dead bolt' the door and wait for Doran to get home so I could let him in. Then I worried what it would do today while we were at work. Sure enough, when I went home at lunch there it goes.....Since you can't just pop the hinges and take it off I PROPPED it OPEN.

I love keeping my big door open and just leave the screen door shut to let light in. I guess now I am going to have to deal without the light or get a new door (ya right) that has a big window in it.
On a happier note....I got a new camera. I have been wanting a little one (skinny) to put in my running fanny pack so we can take pictures on runs. My phone did a pretty good job but this camera will do a better job.

Wednesday: Doran worked a little late and headed to the gym and I went to a friends to do weights in her garage. I really like Holly's classes at the gym but 5:45 am is just SO early!!!

Look what else Doran brought home from work. He loves me, but he is sabotaging my ONE treat thing. AND of all the days, I decided to have my treat during lunch instead of at night. It killed me to look at these the rest of the night. I almost tossed in the towel for another loss of point to eat some but I held out. They will be mine soon.....

You are just a little bit odd if you think you need to run longer. Did you get a 2 for 1 deal with your camera? I could sure use one that actually stays on.

That cotton candy looks so good...I wish I could say I deserved some. Way to go on the running, that's awesome!

Cotton candy is my FAVORITE (well, next to Chocolate). You are doing so great with the challenge.

Good job on the running.

Fun to have a new camera.
