We did it!

My good buddy Jen and I rocked the 5k Turkey Trot this morning despite the cold weather. It was about 14 degrees but the sunshine made it bareable. I have to say that I didn't do as well as I would have liked to but I learned that running on a treadmill and running outside are wayyy different..the cold air was killing my lungs!

I'm thankful for so many things in my life and she is one of them. Jen has helped me do things that I've needed to do for a long time...she motivates me and supports me in this adventure to a healthier Sara. I think our competitive nature also plays into that a little....I couldn't have done it without her!

Thankful....

Happy Thanksgiving 2010!

Another year has come and gone and I'm so thankful for everything in my life. I have to say that I am truly blessed...I felt the need to write this today as I had my 7th invite to spend Thanksgiving with another one of my friends. It makes me realize that I'm the lucky one to have such great people in my life. People have been asking me where am I going to spend Thanksgiving....I wish I could stop at each of the places I was invited to, but that's not going to be possible. It would be like a turkey marathon....speaking of marathons...I'm going to do a tiny part of a marathon tomorrow morning.

I'm going to be doing the Turkey Trot at one of the local YMCA's. It is a 5k run/walk....I have been running for the last couple of months but don't think I will be able to run the whole thing....I am going to give it my best shot! I have to thank my friend Jen for inspiring me to do it and not bailing on me...as it is going to be soooo cold tomorrow morning. I hope my lungs don't freeze. :) She's been an amazing support to me on this getting healthy plan....we are doing it together and I'm so thankful for her!

I hope you all have a blessed Thanksgiving and remember that I'm so thankful to have you in my life! :)

Long time friend....

Spinning our hearts out.....come back and put your hands up in the air!! :)

Halloween party 10'

The Franklund's hosted a Halloween party and I didn't get a chance to dress up...they all did an awesome job though! Dustan is Maggie's pit crew, Scott the Scarecrow and my two best buds the withches...who are far from that, but they looked good!

My transportation crew....

Maggie, the racecar driver, and Jack the airplane pilot! They are too cute....I love these kids..they mean the world to me!

Go Red for Women 2010!

Wendy and I had a great day on October 22nd, 2010 at the Antler's Hilton volunteering for the Go Red for Women Event. We are posing with my portrait they are using for the Survivor's Gallery around town. I hope to get it when they're done....we'll see. I may have to schmooze Ent. It is a wonderful event with a bunch of amazing women. I had so much fun this day with Wendy and all the women. I am so lucky, blessed, honored to have such a great friend, more like sister, in Wendy. Love ya girl and thanks for all your help with this event!

Cookies.

One of the silent auction items I loved. It was from Andrew Collins Cookies...a gift basket of Go Red Cookies. What an amazing guy! I hope to co-chair the Silent Auction committee next year for this event. Wendy and I rocked it this summer as members but think we can do great things if we are in charge???
