Couch to Beacon: Redemption
Shannon Bryan still can't run, but she believes in second chances. She's giving the Beach to Beacon 10K another shot (you know, after last year's tragic failure. But let's not bring that up).
Follow her training through race day: August 2.
Case #336: Belt loops vs. Brownies
An amazing thing happened in the ladies room yesterday. And before your mind takes that sick leap into the gutter, I'll just get straight to the story.
It was late afternoon when I discovered it. All day I had been wandering around, pretending to work, completely unaware of the monumental alteration that had taken place.
But then there it was, clear as day, staring up at me with brown leathery eyes.

My belt was buckled a loop tighter than it ever has been...or at least tighter than it's been in a long, long time.
The evidence was obvious - the well-worn crease from my usual loop(s) stood out like a poorly healed wound. But screw the wound - my belt is one loop tighter!
It's inspiration like that that makes it possible to say "No thanks" when Wendy A. from the office decides to bring in a bucket of brownies. Others may crumble in the face of square chunks of chocolate heaven...but not me.
Not me.




WOOOOHOOOOO! Congratulations! The "reading" on all that hard work is that you feel better, you look better (well, according to you...I happen to think you looked pretty cute before all that exercise...but I may be a bit biased!!!), and you're getting healthier too!
Sounds like a pretty good deal to me!
