5 MILES!

That's not just a subject line. It's the mileage I ran today!!! Yeah me. In the words of my sister... I rock!

I'm in Mississippi right now, getting ready to head to Alaska to fly storms tomorrow. Anyway, I've been here for a week and have really enjoyed running outside again. I feels so good! The fresh air, the pavement under my shoes, the sights, the sounds, the lack of going in circles. Perfect! Plus, the flight line at Keesler AFB is my FAVORITE place to run. I love seeing the WC-130s take off and land. It's cheesy, but it's very top gun.

So, I've been feeling really good running my 3 miles, and decided to make it 5 today. To do that, I ran completely around the flight line! Not exciting for you guys, but I'd never made it past the golf course, so it was HUGE for me.

I feel such a giant sense of accomplishment. It feels amazing!

It's even more important, because I just agreed to do a half marathon in December 2009 in Vegas with Kari. It didn't take a bit of arm twisting, because I'd been thinking for almost a year that I wanted to do that. It was on my list of life goals. It should be pretty darn cool.

WOOOO HOOOOO!!!! Wow I'm so damn excited for you Deeann! 5 is such a milestone and you know, you're almost to half of the half. You are going to kick butt and do more than just "accomplish" the runs this year. Congratulations.

Yeah, that run around the flight line is such a good one. I enjoyed it too.

You inspire me, chica. Keep up the good work. I hear it's really showing. :)
