excellent.

Man, do I feel good.

So this is day three of my 180 some odd marathon training. I have run 4 miles in the past two days, which is not great, but considering I haven't run... ever... I am really proud of myself. Tomorrow is my TNT kick off training and I am kind of excited about it. I will meet my trainers and mentors and get my marathon training schedule. So carpe diem.

I have inundated teh intorwebs with my fundraising info, posting on myspace, facebook and emailing pretty much everyone on my email. I started this all yesterday and while my goal is $5100, I have already raised $385, which is nothing to sneeze at. Several of my friends have donated so generously, I just can't believe it. And SURPRISING people too, like Daniela, my mexican friend that I was in Belgium with. Also, a girl named Mandie, whom I don't even know, but she knows Eric and gave money. It gives me so much inspiration to keep going... and I have a LONG way to go.

What else is going on... oh, I know. I AM TOTALLY FREAKING SMITTEN IT IS NOT EVEN FUNNY.

Troy is AMAZING. We have been talking pretty much every day and last night I went over there to play cribbage (cribbage?! did I mention that he plays board games with me? Is that possible!?) and I fixed dinner (pasta and red sauce... I had to bring my own pot though, as their kitchen is shit). And although he is thoroughly disdainful of Led Zeppelin, and schooled me at cards, we had such a good time. I could probably gush for another 12 paragraphs on him, but I won't.

It has been a long time since I have felt this good about a potential relationship. Ironically, it comes not long after claiming The Summer Of Nicki. But isn't that how it always works? As soon as you stop looking and stop caring, kapow! Rainbows and lollypops.

So the weekend coming up... tonight I am off to either Burnham Bowl for karaoke with Brant, Lindsay and probably Eric or to the VFW in Bayview for karaoke. Apparently Friday is karaoke night. Saturday I have to work, but I am also going to my kickoff party. Also on Saturday Troy and I are hanging out... potentially going to see Grindhouse at the Rosebud...

But frankly, I don't care what we do.

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
