Well I made it to midnight last night (I was there 4 1/2 hours!) and wasn’t the first one to leave. That’s big for me! I remember going to a party of my sister’s just last November I barely made it an hour or two and then was the first one to leave, I don’t remember why though. I work for 4 hours tomorrow and then the rest of the week. No big plans for this week. Patrick and I are going to try to go up to Lakeview Cemetery in Cleveland to run this week, our 5K is two weeks from today and we just want to run around the cemetery even though I am not sure of the exact course. I am excited for this 5K, it seems like it is going to be a unique one and this will be my 2nd 5K ever! We thought we were going to do a night race in our town on September 2nd but so far there have been no finalized plans for it or registration, so I am not sure it is even happening. I highly doubt it. The last I heard was a few weeks ago from the local running store that they were still trying to finalize plans with the city. That will be my last 5K until the spring after I have had my bypass. My parents, brother, Patrick, and I are also doing the Akron, Ohio Walk from Obesity on September 22.  Just making sure to stay active and be in the best shape for my surgery.

Daily Inspirational Quote: “The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn, the bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities.” ~James Allen
