WDW here I come

I finally signed up for a half marathon, bout time Dave.. Now don't get all giddy now, you crazy runner people - You know who you are.. Oh that's me , isn't it? hehe
I signed up for the 2010(yes 2010) Walt Disney World half marathon. You have to sign up now because the race fills up so quickly. I heard in less than 2 weeks. Yikes! It cost me a cool $128.50. Double Yikes! I plan on taking 20 of my cheering crowd family members along with me. Triple Yikes!! Tell you all about at a later date..
I still have high hopes for running the Nashville Country Music Marathon on April 25th - just got to get my work schedule "worked out." Hang in there Shosh, I'm trying.. ;)
If you've read my blog then you know that I started a 13 week "Healthier You" challenge created by Robert @ runninghoosier.com. This couldn't be a better time for a challenge. Hoping to get weight off before the 1/2 marathon in April. (Yeah, the one I haven't signed up for yet...) After my first week weigh-in this past Monday, I managed a 6lb weight loss. I've been eating good, healthy foods along with logging my meals and keeping the "crap" out of my mouth.



Even though I haven't signed up for WW(weight watchers) like many here have, I've been reading and following their wise council. Big high-five to so many of you!
Along the lines of living healthy, I would like you guys to visit a pal of mine. Angela runs http://ohsheglows.com/ . She currently has an honest foods contest to give away health bars. I'm hungry just thinking about em! (I'm always hungry..) Angela is health, run nut like us. She has quite the speedy feet too. For you gals - she has a beauty section w/ fashion, makeup, and dress-up this is my favorite. I've been trying to eat better foods recently and I find myself going to her site to find out what new brew she has made. I swear she can make dead plants look appetizing. For the guys - (shhhh... she is a blonde bombshell - keep that to ourselves.) don't challenge her in a race, she may just smoke you..
Peace
