1. Yesterday was the first day of lent--- last year I went gung ho and gave up ALL dairy to just rid my body of inflammation. It wasn't hard at first because I don't do much dairy--- but ranch dressing and cheese were tough. This year I decided to give up 2 of my big vices-- I really don't expect it to make an impact on my health like last year did (losing 7lbs in 2 weeks was a nice surprise), BUT this will more or less cut back on 'addictions'
It will also be my 25th state, marking my 1/2 point to my journey. Luckily I will be doing this race with my gf Heidi (did RnR New Orleans & Go! St. Louis w/ her) as well as we get to stay with our high school track buddy LaToya, so FREE STAY, gosh I love those!

lastly, and most IMPORTANTLY.... Since December work has been insanely busy. To help catch up and meet our customer's promises, leadership offered overtime to anyone who was willing to put forth the hours. Obviously with the holidays, everyone was on board. As an added bonus, you were put in to win a drawing for 2 roundtrip tickets to anywhere in the continental US. Today we had our business update where they chose 10 winners.....
Yes... I WAS ONE OF THE WINNERSSSS!!!! Obviously this is PERFECT for someone like me because I've been eyeing a few states that are pricey and now I can get them out of the way. I know I'll have to book through a travel agent, and there may be some limitations, but who cares, free is free!!!
AND
No bacon and no sweets. The bacon thing probably seems weird... but I LOVE it. I never make it, so its normally a staple when I'm going out to eat. Taken this weekend in Austin.
Sweets is hit or miss for me--- basically my 3 staples are gummy bears, nutella, reece cups- yum!
2. I secured my flight for NY next month to run this
