15 miles, no shuffle, new shoes, no weim, and a wii.

that's my weekend in a nutshell.

chris called me friday night on his way to my place (or is it his place?!) and said he had a surprise. now being the girl that i am, i expect something amazing...and well, something for me! however, that was not really the case...as i should have known. ;) anyway, he came over with a wii...and for those of you who haven't played one...i recommend it. who knew you could get a workout from playing video games?! after trying tennis, bowling, golf, baseball, and boxing we were exhausted! brother and chris played again on sunday...it was quite entertaining just to watch!


saturday morning was tnt training as usual. we started our 13 mile run (which ended up being about 15 miles) around 7:30 am...it was all around brutal. i couldn't find my brother's shuffle and therefore had to use my huge ipod...which would be fine...except for the fact that we're not supposed to be wearing headphones and well, my ipod is a little harder to hide than a shuffle. i had to hide it in my fuel belt and run the headphones through my shirt...oh the drama. meg lost her breakfast (and the previous night's dinner) before we even hit 3 miles. our legs felt like lead. it was humid. and not too many others were out on the trail. but it finally ended...hopefully our 18 mile run next week doesn't feel so bad...

i have one more month for fundraising...and about $1000 to go. thanks to everyone that has supported this great cause. feel free to pass it on...a link to my website is on your right! :)

spose you like my new shoes?! my next race is city of oaks 1/2 marathon in raleigh...nov. 3rd...come on out and cheer!



so i was told that i can't get my weimaraner. or at least not anytime soon. chris was thinking about it...but then ran into another weim owner and was told they they are extremely needy, high maintanence dogs...which we already knew...but apparently, chris doesn't think he can "deal" with me and the dog... haha. maybe someday...

Hey Courtney - I found your blog from Katie Carter's blog. Thought I would say HI. Looks like you are really into running! That is so cool. I have done 2 half marathons and 1 full. I hope you are doing well and enjoying life... looks like you are!
