UNC vs Kentucky

Hi everyone,

We were lucky to be able go to the UNC/Kentucky game and sit lower level. Some friends of ours have season tickets. The seats were great, they were right behind John & Elizabeth Edwards on the lower level beside the tunnel where the players come out. We could see everything. It was a great experience. It was a Tuesday night game that was being shown on ESPN. They were also doing their College Gameday show from the Dean Dome. We saw all of the commentators. We also saw Ashley Judd. She promised if NC voted Democratic for the president, she would sit in the student section of this game. She kept her word and we saw her during the second half of the game. Lucky for us, Carolina won, but unfortunately Zeller was hurt with about a minute to go in the game. He was fouled hard by a Kentucky player. We saw everything and you could tell he was in pain. I knew it wasn't good as we watched him walk to the locker room. Over all it was a fun night and we are lucky our friends let us have their tickets for this game.

The City Of Oaks Half Marathon

Hi everyone,

Well I did it! I actually finished the City of Oaks Half Marathon. About half way into it, I had some doubts. I started feeling weak. I ate a couple of shot blocks and got my blood sugar back up and I was able to finish. I did it in 2:26. I was hoping to finish about 2:30, so I was very happy. The AE Finley YMCA water table really got me energized toward the end of the race. It was great to see their smiling, cheering faces. I wore my UNC gear and ran through the heart of NC State territory. I got a lot of "Go Heels" cheers, which was encouraging. It was a beautiful day. The weather was perfect. I want to thank my training partners, Bill, Maria, Brenda, Vicky, Tina, and my great husband Tom. Without their encouragement, I would never have attempted this. Thanks to Maria for convincing me to sign up. I wasn't first, but I was not last either. I got my medal and now I can get a 13.1 sticker for our cars. I also want to thank my trainer Lee, if it wasn't for him whipping me into shape, I would never have done this. He and my friend Debbie came by to congratulate me. Debbie brought me flowers, which was very nice. She is a great friend. I am so lucky to have this wonderful group of friends.
