Goals and Plans

So, I have some updates and some new goals and some new plans.  Let's see here. 

Updates...So, Ish asked me where she can donate the money for Spilling Hope.  Well, the good news is that I still have another week to add to the total.  I know I won't get to the 100 miles I'd have loved to, but I can still tack on to that amount.  Maybe another 20 miles?  Who knows.  That being said, for those of you who pledged (thank you!) will be able to go to an official link where they will be accepting online donations.  I think then, you'd be able to make your donation tax-deductible.  And any of you out there who'd still like to be part of this great cause will also be able to join.

As for goals, I now have 2 more to talk about.  They may seem simple, but man, they're tough to me. 

First Goal: As of tonight, I'm not going to have any candy for the rest of May.  I have been slowly slipping back into the habit of having some kind of "treat" each day.  Sometimes it's a couple of squares of dark chocolate (good treat), and other times it's a Snickers Bar or Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.  And even other times, it's Skittles or other pure sugar!  So, as of now, I'm breaking that bond.  Ugh.  I hate having to mess with these bad habits.

Second Goal: I will not go to a buffet for the rest of the month.  How hard can that be, right?  It shouldn't be too difficult.  But it kinda is.  In fact, as I said before, a couple of weeks ago, I went to an Indian Buffet, a week ago, I went to a Chinese Buffet, and just today, I was seriously considering going to an American Buffet.  At least I'm well-travelled through the buffet world.  But that ends now.  Now more at least for a few weeks.  I can totally do that!

And now, for my new plan!  I've been wanting to do more races, and I think I may have found it! 

Cougar Mountain Trail Running Series

 
I'm bummed that I missed the first race (it was last Saturday!).  And, in fact, I had wanted to do the first race, but totally spaced on registering a couple of months ago and just found the site again today.  But I'm registered for the next race; and on June 12, 2010 (the day before my birthday) I'll be running through the woods for 7 miles.  Yahoo!  Anyone around here want to join me?  Alison?  Tara? Mary (now that you're closer!)?  Ricky (come on down from Cousin Canada!)?
