Girls Weekend & Marathon Team Relay

I just returned from one of the best weekends ever. Team SKKAT (Sarah, Kaly, Kery, Amanda, and Tina) headed down to Detroit for a weekend of shopping, dining, dancing, and, oh yeah, running. And yes, we did learn that "skat" is a term for animal poo. Too late by that point. Oh well, we aren't hunters so we weren't in the know. "Team Animal Poo" did awesome in the relay, our time for the marathon was 4:08. We got 16th place in our division (out of 268), not bad for our first time. It was way too much fun, and got me inspired to train for a half-marathon in the future. The weather was perfect, and it was a great course. My portion was from Windsor, Canada, through the Detroit/Windsor Tunnel, and then through the Cork Town neighborhood in Detroit, 5.6 miles in total. Thanks to everyone who cheered us on! Can't wait for next year!

Time to play catch up...

Well, I am a little behind lately in updating this blog. Time to play catch up! Since I last wrote, I've enjoyed numerous football tailgates and games, a couple of weekends in Traverse City, a long weekend in San Francisco, several 5k's, and then there's always the usual work, home, and family stuff. My brother Andrew made the big move to Japan, and I really do miss him. For the most part, fall has been a blast so far, and I am really trying to focus on all of my blessings.
