That Curl can RUN!

Good day to you. We are here, on Thursday, and it ain't so bad. It's still very warm here, and we've not seen rain in a while. I'm still looking forward to fall, especially since it's football season! BOOMER SOONER!!!! I can't wait for the season to start, I love football. :) __________________________________________________________________________ R4G and deer meat overload Last night I sat on the couch and ate an entire bowl of cold deer meat that I had marinated in red wine vinegar. The plan was to make something asian-inspired this week. I ended up having it as a prerun snack. R4G met for week 10 lesson, and week 11 run. I didn't get the full 5 miles in, but we did over 4 miles. Since it was 8:45pm and dark, plus I was out of water, we called it quits for the night. Super proud of all of us for grinding it out after sunset with our flashlights and glow sticks. We had 46% humidity, and probably over 90 degrees still. Drenched, sore, and tired. I...

I ran last night. I hate running. It's too hot, and my feet are too heavy. I super didn't like it at all and wanted to never do it again. I'm running tonight with the ladies from R4G. I know, I'm either a total liar or a runner. We be that way. _________________________________________________________________________  Eat After running I started to take a nap when my favorite guest showed up to check out the eats. I made an aged pork loin in the crock pot, and spinach salad, of course. I had that for lunch today as well. The crock pot really is a great invention. I have made so many things in there, and always forget how easy it is over the summer. Now that it's nearing fall, it will likely stay on my counter all season. Dips, soups, breakfast casserole, baked potatoes, roast.... What's your favorite things to make in the crock pot?                      ...

Hello there! Greetings from SEOK. It's hot, it's hot, and it's hot. The good news today is that it's my FRIDAY!!!! Shhhh, don't tell anyone, I don't like my business being made public. I will tell you that I won't be at work for the rest of the week, but I'm not saying what I'm doing. So don't go snooping around my house trying to find out where I am. Weirdos. I plan to run this week, so I have that going for me. I'll keep you posted on how it goes, and if I keep up with R4G's half marathon training. Today I get my new tooth too! So hillbilly. Since I won't be available much this week, I thought I'd share all the things I've been doing since last (real) Friday. ______________________________________________________________________ I visited my parents, brother, SIL, nephews, and niece! Dad isn't a big fan of pictures. Sometimes I can get him to pose, but this trip was not one of those times. Mom was...

It's not my Friday, but it's pretty close; it's TOWPICK Thursday!!! Are you sick of this outfit yet? Too bad! It's my blog and I'll wear what I want. ROAD TRIP!!!!  Tonight we're off to Falls Creek for some worship jammin', and fun-havery. God gave us a beautiful place to gather and praise Him, and while we're there, we like to laugh and be silly. Following Christ isn't all about 'rules' and having to say no to everything. There's lots of silliness, and pranks, and weird whatevers that go on at church camps, because we're all friends and love each other...right? I don't really think I'll be running around with glow sticks in my hair singing camp songs, but it probably will be happening somewhere on the campus. No matter what my role is, I've got a high spirit about it, and that famous big dumb smile on my face. __________________________________________________________________________  R4G Last nigh...

I don't know why so many of my pictures from past posts are missing. My apologies. If I figure it out, I'll edit them so you can go back and review my awesomeness whenever. Until then, just pretend I have a fetish with subtraction? __________________________________________________________________________  Caught in the Act R4G starts tonight, and in light of that, let's head back to Acts for our next lesson. This is a good lesson for today, since President Obama is in my little town. Right now he is about 1.5 miles from me, speaking to an invited 'public' group about economic impact, government involvement in the growth of small communities, and I'm sure a bunch of other things I have no information on. Whether or not we agree with him, whether or not we support him, he is in a position of influence. His policies influence us directly (our laws) and indirectly (international relations). We don't have to agree with what happens, but burying our heads...

I don't feel like having tacos today. Blah. What's wrong with me? What I feel like is running. Runnin' runnin' and runnin' runnin'.... I have to be in a swimsuit really soon and I don't feel ready. Tacos surely won't help either. Last night I had a sweet nap, a baked sweet potato (over sweet conversation with some of my favorite sweet people), a sweet soak in a lavender bath, and a sweet bedtime. Ahhhhhh..... I made it to the gym this morning before dawn for official week 2 of crazy workout. Pushups, lay down pushups, medicine ball squats, tricep dips, mountain climbers, bicycles, straight leg situps w/twist, and straight leg situps. It didn't seem all that difficult, and I did modify a tiny bit to keep from bending my toe ( you know, the SUP incident ), but man did we sweat! Our muscles just didn't seem to want to do anything. I haven't felt that worthless and lazy in a while....it was awesome!!!! _____________________________________...
