Some Kinda Thursday

Alright, today was better than yesterday work wise. I actually got some things done, people were out of the office and it was a nice low key day. Thus, my existential crisis has been delayed... yet another day.

This is me on pins & needles. This is Buddy annoyed.

Now, I know it sounds silly, but I was totally on pins and needles today... waiting for the Gourmet Runner Giveaway to post. She had a giveaway for TWO Publix Georgia Marathon entries in Atlanta in March. It was a long shot and there were almost 200 entries, but...

I just wanted to win... bad! Since I live in Iowa, it would be hard for me to justify the entry fee and then a plane ticket ontop of it. Also, since Chicago... I have been dying to get another marathon on the calendar. I really wanted a chance to run again with all the experience I gathered from my first marathon. Lastly, I needed a new focus stay on my game and not slip into a schlubby winter blues wah wah baby slump. OH and I'd get to meet Vanessa! Hello? Awesome!

Guess what?
Slump be gone because I WON one entry!
Aaron snapped a picture of my glee mid stride on the treadmill.
I even threw on my Chicago shirt to psych me up.
Marathon #2 baby!
Ashley @ Redonk Runner won the second entry and I also think she is super cool and funny... so BONUS!

Thanks again for hosting such a radtasic giveaway, Vanessa!

  5. Yay for marathon #2!!! I'll be running my second one in May so we'll be on about the same schedule. Very exciting. Know what is a bummer? That I DIDN'T win your giveaway. How can I go on without those socks? I don't know if I can.
