What a great weekend!


Kicked off Friday night with a movie - Angels & Demons. Saturday morning had the Race for the Cure and I beat my goal time by 16 seconds! Finished in 31:44, which is my best time ever. It was a great experience to share with 30,000 other Michiganders, and it gave me chills to run by all of the pink ribbons with people's names on them. I hung out with my Mom Saturday afternoon in my new favorite place - our finally finished screened in porch. We went to a Cuban restaurant downtown Royal Oak for dinner that we've been wanting to try. I had cornmeal cakes with herbed goat cheese and pico de gaillo, with mashed boniatos and spinach. Wonderful! Friends came over Saturday night for drinks and Red Wings hockey. Today I spent the majority of the day planting my vegetable garden.




I planted tomatoes, bell peppers, and onions, so hopefully I'll get some great veggies. I also met a friend for lunch and now another hockey game. Just an all-around awesome weekend. Looking forward to many more great summer weekends!

ready... set...

Tomorrow morning I'll be participating in a huge event - the annual Race for the Cure in downtown Dee-troit. I've never been to this particular race or any other event focusing on raising the awareness of breast cancer, so I'm expecting tomorrow to be an eye-opening event.

Me and 25 co-workers from Chrysler Financial will be running or walking together. This is my third 5k competish, and my goal is to have my best 5k time ever: 32:00. I can do it!!!
