89 is the new 100

89 Followers.  I have been stuck at 89 for quite some time now....so close to that magical 100.  As promised I will have an AWESOME giveaway when I reach 100. So go tell your brother, your sister, your father, your mother - whoever to come follow my blog :)

I'm still feeling under the weather.  Apparently running a half marathon in the freezing cold rain and wind is not just what the doctor ordered.  I can't seem to get rid of the congestion and cough...sigh.  I took 3 full days off from workouts this week just trying to recover from the half marathon and my cold.  I am slowly improving, but it is SLOW.

I plan to run 3 miles on Thursday.  Hopefully that will go well.  I have a 5K on Saturday for Corporate Challenge.  Do you guys have Corporate Challenge?  It's a huge event in Kansas City where lots of different companies compete against each other in a multitude of activities like track and field, triathlon, darts, weight lifting, swimming....you name it.  I hope I am feeling up to it by Saturday.

Lastly I leave you with pics of my sweet Jack dog. 

Jack wasn't happy to find out "Jack Jr" was snuggling with him during his nap

Man I'm thirsty, just have to get this cap off

Just chillin' with my water bottle

What?  No more water.  I'm outta here!

    I just followed you, though I've been reading your blog for a while! I keep track of the blogs I like with my blog roll now, so sometimes I forget to become an official follower.

    Brings you to 90!

    Jack is rad.

    That OKC half looked gnarly.

    Man, I thought Madi was 16. What's the deal with you guys looking sooooo young for your age? Must be the water in KC.

    No Corporate Challenge in S.D. Hmmmmh, my money is on Sprint winning this year's event in K.C.

    I was stuck at like 80-something forever and then I had a surge to get me to 100 and then I got even more so now I'm at like 112. Woot! I've never done a giveaway. Sad :(

    89 bottles of Jacks water bottles on the wall....
    HAHA! That's a great number, I want you to get to 100 too, I wanna know what that giveaway is going to be!?

    Did you like the Dove? I bought another bottle but this one is a different scent or something like that. Takes the chlorine smell off of me and I guess that's what matters :)

    Good luck on that 5K! You'll kick some corporate butt.

    I'm sorry you're still sick! Chest colds are the worst! Believe me, I had 3 this year and the only thing that helped me get better was to completely rest! Take it easy, relax, and feel better soon!
