Meetin' with the Michiganders!!

Tomorrow Jordan and I set off on a reunion weekend. Tomorrow we head to my college roommate, Jody's house which is about the 1/2 way point to get to Traverse City where we will meet up with Jordan's college roommates for an extravaganza!! Jody has the cutest little guy Dylan who is almost a year old who I can't wait to see. We don't get to see each other that often but it's still great when we do even if it's for a short time. This summer she and her hubby drove through Illinois while I was visiting my folks and they stopped at the Lincoln Oasis. My parents live around the corner and I got to see them (only for a few minutes), but it's still great just the same. I miss her a bunch, but I always know she's just a phone call away.

In Traverse there will be about 16 of us! Jordan had 12 guys living in his house in college and a bunch will be meeting us there. It should be great. Lots of BBQ and goodtimes! Wish me will-power! BTW another lb down today! Good way to start the long weekend!

Second wind

I'm getting back on track here. I lost a pound which doesn't seem like a lot to most people but any loss is a loss so that's good. I went to the gym twice over the weekend and ran my 3 miles. Both times it went very well. I plan to head out today before dinner and do 3 more. I'm trying to get in a lot of activity before this weekend. We might be going to Michigan to a MSU reunion with Jordan's old roomies and you know how those things go. Wish me will-power!

Yesterday, after my run, Jordan and I went out back with Barkley and had a BBQ. They put out these nice new Stainless Steel BBQ's in the backyard in the dog park. We sat out there and grilled while Barkley ran around in the yard. It was great. We will probably be doing that more oven until the weather gets bad. It's nice to have that facility. I have missed BBQ since we moved to Toronto. It's one of my favorite things about summer. (Next to watermelon!)

That's all for now. Time to get motivated. Pray for Jordan he ran 18 miles yesterday and had some struggle b/c of his leg. He's had quite a bit of pain and had been uncomfortable.
