Thursday night was the beginning of some serious country time. Kenny Chesney concert at Riverbend! Katie and Bill came down to go to the show with Em and I. We put on our boots and got ready for some serious stomping. The concert was amazing; complete with a beach tailgate (we found a sandbar in the parking lot), captivating drunken antics by those around us (people being escorted out in wheelchairs at 6pm, grown men sobbing, LOTS of air guitar). Once the concert was over it was on to a wilderness weekend at Lake Erie with my mom's family.The family gathered at Sawmill Creek Lodge in Sandusky to celebrate my Papa's 80th birthday. Please note the pictures from the lodge: bearskins, teepees, antlers. Katie and I really settled into the wilderness lifestyle: sunning ourselves by the pool, drinking moonshine (vods and sprite), and battling with woodland creatures (lots of oversized bees around the pool area). It was a fun weekend with all the aunts, uncles and cousins. It isn't that often that we all get together, so even the wilderness aspect of the weekend wasn't that bad. I was happy to get back to the big city, Columbus, on Sunday night.
The wilderness didn't really lend itself to long runs. I missed my long run this weekend and I missed Tuesdays run due to some serious rainfall. Back in the Saucony's tonight for a 7 miler. 10 weeks until the marathon. I wish I could buy some go-go-gadget legs and just forget about all this training.

covincing? :)
Wow, this is so inspirational! I can't imagine running, jogging or anything that resembles running. I do walk back and forth to work...and I did get a bicycle...which has been fun until it fell apart. And thanks for the book recommendations, I can't wait to read the book about the girl and her debt!!
omg is tracy talking about Save Karyn? literally one of the best books EVER.
Yes, I told her about the book on her fabulous reading blog: http://readingismyfavoritethingtodo.blogspot.com/
I'm pretty sure I still have someone's copy of Save Karyn.
But I always had/have the worst debt, so I think I'm allowed to keep it.
