I WON!

I went to church this morning and fulfilled my new role as Chair of the Children's Room Committee. There were no babies today, so after waiting until the second hymn, I went into the sanctuary. Now I just need to get with the rest of the committee members and make assignments for who will serve on which date...

I had hoped to get a lot done around the house today, but instead, I spent most of the afternoon updating blogs. I was totally surprised to hear that I won a pair of Vibram soled Patagonia Release Trail shoes from a contest that Chris Russell held on his podcast RunRunLive. I never win anything. Contestants simply had to post why they should be the recipients. So I wrote about my Lyme disease experience (see blog posts in March 2009) and how I loved that first trail race, but the Lyme disease had put the fear into me to not want to venture out into the woods again. I wrote that new gadgets often give me incentive so if I had a pair of trail running shoes, it would motivate me to overcome my fear and get back on a trail again. I'm so excited!!! If I receive the shoes in time, I'll register for the July 26th XTERRA Pig Trail - 10K Trail Run. (And yes, ever since the tick incident, my most frequent perfume is insect repellant.)
