My First 5k :)

Although I hadn't planned on running any of the 5k, I did jog for about the first 2 minutes, just to keep up with the herd of people at the beginning.  Then I had an idea to pick up a glow stick that someone had dropped (while I was still jogging), and splat.  I bit the dust.  I ended up with a scraped up knee (not bad) and elbow (all scabbed up now).  I had my iphone and my keys in my bra and when I hit the ground, they went flying out.  Yipes.  Anywho, that was the end of jogging.  I walked the rest of the way.  I had a great time with some other AZ bandsters.  Here are a few highlights...

Nice clean, white shirt to start . . . 

 

NSV! Plane!

This was my napkin on the plane!  

This was me!  YES!  I still remember the time the flight attendant asked me if I needed a seat belt extender.  It was one of those feelings that I'll never forget.  When I'm old and grey, someone might have to help me buckle it, but I'll be damned if I'm ever too big to wear one again.

News anchor fights back against bully!

"Jennifer Livingston, a morning anchor at WKBT in La Crosse, says she tried to laugh off a viewer's letter, which read in part, "Surely you don't consider yourself a suitable example for this community's young people, girls in particular. Obesity is one of the worst choices a person can make and one of the most dangerous habits to maintain."

Take 4 minutes out of your day to watch this (the rant at 1:49 is my favorite part) ... how many of us have memories of being mocked because of our weight?  Here's a newscaster's in-your-face response to a bully...
