8 Mile

I ran 8 miles on Saturday morning. I ran with a girl named Stephanie that I met through Team in Training. It is nice to have someone with you to help pass the time. Next weekend, I will be going 9 miles. All the way around the lake. I was really tired after the run as that is the longest I have ever been.

I also got my CPA score back for the portion of the test that I took. I passed! Yeah!

I'm going to Baton Rouge tomorrow for work. Fun. Not really but maybe if I keep telling myself that leaving for the airport before 6:00 am and getting back to Dallas at 7:15 pm and attending meetings in between is fun, I will start to believe it.

So, I missed the Amazing Race premiere but caught last nights episode. So far, I like the gay guys. Don't like Kimberly and her boyfriend.

Team In Training

I decided a few weeks ago to join Team In Training to train for a half marathon and raise $2,000 to benefit the The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I am training to participate in the Dallas White Rock Half Marathon on December 10, 2006. We train all week and then on Saturday's we train at the lake together. This week was at 6:00 but next week we are moving it to 7:00. Thank goodness. I need that extra hour of sleep. It's great fun and very inspiring to train with this group. Alot of the members have participated in multiple events and raised thousands of dollars to benefit cancer research. We have honored heros that are either battling cancer or survivors. We get to meet them, hear their stories, and then help them! I would love each of my dear family members to visit my fundraising website and help me reach my goal! I would also appreciate your support through prayers and encouragement!

Working on Saturday.....

Well, we've been super busy at work lately so I haven't had any goof off time. I had a great birthday weekend last weekend. Justin and I went to a nice dinner. Then on Sunday we had a celebration with the family. June and George came in for the occasion!

This week flew by just working and trying to finish all my returns before 9/15.

I got up and ran 6 miles this morning with my new training group at White Rock Lake. Now I'm at work but making alot of progress. I kept getting interrupted this week and wasn't able to spend as much time on my returns as I needed. But now I am just flying through them! I am listening to my new mp3 player and I have alot of company here at work today. Usually, no one is here on the weekend but everyone is busy this time of the year.
