Missing: Wild Hockey Game; Found: Juicy Lucy

Friday night I was supposed to go to my very first Minnesota Wild hockey game, rounding out my professional sports experience in the state - Vikings, Twins, Timberwolves... just missing the Wild. Oh, I even went to a WNBA game once, but I don't really count that as professional sports. So, since I was supposed to head to a game Friday right after work, I knew I wasn't going to get in a run. That is until I got home and had an email waiting for me telling me he had been fired that afternoon and so we weren't going to the game. huh... I guess that gave me time to run.... and then go out for a Juicy Lucy to consume 5-times the calories I had just run off. It was good but the grilled buffalo chicken sandwich was better. (Carrie and I did half-sies on our dinners so both of us could have a Juicy Lucy but not have to eat a whole one)

Lucky #7 for Love

Happy Valentine's Day!

I'm #7 of the kids in my family, which should be a lucky number. Today I'm:
  1. Lucky that I have an amazing family
  2. Lucky that I have amazing friends (and ones that will run 2011 miles with me!)
  3. Lucky that I got a rose from Firestone today when I had the oil changed in my car
  4. Lucky that I was able to help decorate cookies in an assisted living facility today during work
  5. Lucky that Minneapolis is in the balmy 30's today
  6. Lucky that I haven't yet gone crazy this winter in MN
  7. And.... Lucky that I can run = 7 miles
