I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready

I am super excited for this weekend. I need a little 'me' time. The kids will be staying with Hubby and I will get a chance to have some girl time with my friend Roni. We booked our hotel, and it is awesome. Right on the lake... about a mile from the starting line. Its also only about a block from some of the best shops in the city!! Whoooop!

Yesterday I ran 1.5 miles. I was supposed to get in 2 miles but stopped short... how stupid is that? I don't know why I didn't finish that last half mile. Well, I will make up for it today. I've got to get in 3 miles. I was going to go to the track this morning, but its cold... and the last thing I want to do is get sick before my trip! So, the treadmill it will be. :P

I wanted to share with you some before and afters.... these are what I look at when I feel like I'm going nowhere and want to give up on it all.

I may not be the model thin person that I want to be... but I'm a hell of a lot healthier now then I was then. I would have never thought of running back then.... now, I wake up craving it!!
