Got my Kitchenaid today! Now I want to bake cookies lol. But your comment on my blog sent me back to my '08 posts and omg, I don't even feel like that girl anymore. Injuries suck.
12 years ago in the haze of a hangover I read Oprah's Make The Connection. It changed my life. I lost the fat, I put down the booze, began eating in a healthy manner, began to walk, then run. Run On! I first began running marathons. Liked it so much I found some crazy ultra runners in MN who showed me the trail and ultramarathons. 39 marathons and 40+ ultra marathons later ( 15 100 mile ultramarathons in the past 5 years) I am sober, lean and happy. I am now inspiring others to run, as Oprah inspired me. Coaching beginning runners is a gift I like to give every day. It's not just about running..it's about all that comes with it: goal setting, empowerment, a belief in oneself, being true to oneself. 2007 brought 4 100 mile finishes, 2008 brought 4 100 mile finishes, a BQ and PR at TCM, a PR at the 100 mile trail distace at Javelina Jundred: 23:13. 2009 brought another PR at the 100 mile distance! Amazing. Lean Horse 100, a dream come true. What holds for 2010? WHO KNOWS?? NOT I!

How cute!!!
Is your kitty by any chance a Ragdoll?
It looks almost like our oldest cat, a blue mitted Ragdoll named: Zaboomafoo.

Hi Tammy,
Yes, Toffee is a Ragdoll, he's 11, blue mitted as well! He is just the best. Our Truffles was a Tortie Point. I'd like another!
CUTE!
