"This is 50" - 50 Cent

Done.

And it's all because of Dawn.

You see I was really, really happy with this . . .

Her text came back saying this:

D: Whew hew!! But I know you got 5 more miles in ya!!
Me: [thinking . . . wait what?!] but time is not on my side.
D: Focus, relax your shoulders, chin down.  you.  have.  time.  Just don't do your hair after you shower.
Me: [emoticon entered --- thumbs up]
D:  You got it.  50 will be HUGE!
Me:  you.  freaking.  rock.

What an awesome friend.

My mom's text - well was a loving Mom's text.

My mom:  ...please stop .....
Me:  I'm not stopping.  sorry.

The Pita's call when I was done . . .

Pita:  How far did you run?
Me:  ummmmm fiddy.
Pita:  what?  It sounded like you said fifty.
Me:  yep, I did.
Pita:  [parental advisory warning] you are an a$s for doing that.
Me:  hey!  thanks!

In pita talk - that's a way HUGE compliment.

Then the best thing ever . . . . . .

My. freaking. awesome. dad. . . . . bringing by 20 pounds of ice when I was at mile 49.
Thank. you. my. dad!

Happy Hump Day!

5 days until Boston!  [but really, who's counting!?]

Papa

As I went to list something {eBay} this morning, I found this.

"This" is one of my VERY MOST favorite pictures I have.

• It has two of my most adored people in it
• I love the busy city life {Hong Kong} all around them
• I love that I captured this moment - still get tears in my eyes when I see it
• Wish I had a photo and {more importantly a close} relationship like this with one of my grandpas {a bit more challenging to do when you live far away}.
• Reminds me of what an amazing Papa my Peanut has
• He is always leading & guiding - by example
• He is always building her up
• He is always there for her
• He adores her and she knows it
• She adores him - I hope he knows it

Love you Papa /Dad
