Words about me for Wednesday...

I met my husband on Match.com - met Sept 18th, 2005, moved in together Nov 1st, 2005 and married Dec 31st, 2005...

I rarely sleep more than 5 hours a night....I can sleep when I'm dead.

I have a deep dislike of needles - except for the kind that give tattoos - I have 7 already and am planning #8 - sorry Mom :-(

If I had to be someone else for a day, I would be Lara Croft...she is bad ass and hot!

I cannot stand to leave the kitchen sink wet.

I haven't had 10 toe nails at the same time in almost 3 years.

I like the house cold - even in the winter - if I lived alone I would keep my thermostat at 57 degrees.

57 degrees for a reason - I am OBSESSED with odd numbers...can't leave the tv volume, a radio volume knob, etc on an even number, just can't!

I truly believe that had I not found running as my second true love (next to Bob) my past 250 pound weight would probably be over 300 now, or I would be dead. No doubt.

I am scared of the dark. Petrified.

If I became President, peanut butter would be made a food group.

I don't ever think my house is clean enough...

As much as I workout and eat well, I have never been happy with my body.

I don't feel sorry for people that don't want to help themselves, it's a choice, not a destiny BUT I WILL help anyone that is willing to do the work, it is a passion I have.

I don't get eyebrows...they are just weird...

Run safe, run happy!

Three Things Thursday!

Paces - Maggie and I got our runs in this week. Sunday - 15 in the misty morning, out and backs are typically boring, especially when they are on one straight, long road...but we manage to make it fun between our talks, made up words, sight seeing, etc. Our 8 on Tuesday was fast - no training run, it was like a race...ended with the last mile pretty much at a 7:20m/m - and I admire anyone that can run that fast all the time! This morning's 7.5 was not as good - it was a training pace run and I was miserable and Maggie fell and twisted her ankle half way out - she hobbled in and I puttered in...thank goodness tomorrow is a rest day.

Faces - It's been a great vacation! Mom and Dad made it down for most of the week and Bever and Dennis joined Maggie and I for the entire week. Although it was sad that my hub and Lady Em had to go home Sunday, but I have actually relaxed! This is not something I do well. I do miss the faces that I see everyday - my hub, my fur kids and the friends that I normally see on an almost daily basis - these faces and spirits fuel me and I cannot wait to see them all again!

Places - the beach house was, in one word, decadent - simply extravagant. I didn't want for anything all week...8 bedrooms, 9 baths, huge kitchen, hot tub, pool and right on the beach...
OBX has a Harris Teeter, which we broke in quite well on grocery day AND let me tell you, Beach Road Grill @ 2519 S. Virginia Dare Trail - Mile Post 10.5 in Nags Head - it's a must.
These twin sisters that own it are from Hopewell, Va and their cook, Miss Carrie, well, let me just say this - HOME.MADE.FRIED.CHICKEN. - save it in your "rolodex" - between the friendly service, the warm and low key atmosphere and the awesome food, it won't disappoint. I wish we had found it sooner. 

Run safe, run happy!
