thinkin' about it thursday.

sugar and spice and everything nice.

i haven't bought pepper, like black pepper, for a really long time.  really long time.  years, probably.  does it go bad?  do you throw yours away after awhile and buy new?
on the flip side, i have 3 and a half bags of brown sugar.  i buy that all the time cause i always think i'm out............weird............just thinkin' about it.

thinkin' about it thursday.

i completed a half-marathon.  completed.  not ran.  it was awesome to have it on my birthday and to have my family there supporting me,  but...........i messed up.  i knew not to start out fast.  i knew it.  and i ignored it.  i started out fast.  too fast.  and hit my breaking point at about mile 8.  after the steep, short hill.  i ended up walking a lot and trying my hardest to keep going.  it was a struggle and there was pain.  and thirst.  lots of thirst.  it was hot.  after the race we got in the car and we didn't even get out of the parking lot before i had to tell will to stop because the whole right side of my body was a huge cramp.  so i had to get out and walk.  that was pain.   anyhooooooo, it looks like i have to do another one so i can do it right.  crap.
