I've Grown!

I've been having a few problems with sore feet lately. Apparently my arches have fallen, so I've taken to wearing arch supports and clodhopper shoes. I figured it was time I get a good pair of shoes for working out, so the other night I went down to the New Balance store because I've heard their shoes are great. I was the only customer in the store, so got some great service as the kid told me all about the shoes. We decided he'd better measure them, so he got out the ruler. Come to find out, my feet have grown. I'm now an 8 1/2. Who knew? I'm just guessing here, but do you think the reason for my sore feet could in fact be that I was wearing size 8 shoes? Hmmm...

Now, my feet stopped growing when I was in my teens. So I guess this is pretty exciting news. But of all the areas on my anatomy I would have chosen to grow, my feet would not have been it. I'm just saying.

Although, other bits growing might be more visible and not quite so easily compensated for. Just saying, my thighs have been morphing lately, and I'd much prefer my feet to have expanded :)

Goals

One of my goals this year is to go on a backpacking trip. It's something I've always wanted to do, but been too intimidated to try. Well, a few weeks ago, one of the girls in the Ward invited me on a backpacking trip to the Uinta's this summer. This time I immediately said yes. All was well until a few days later when reality set in and the thought of carrying 30-35 pounds of pack on my back while hiking in rough terrain just about made me cave. I did not have all the gear I would need, nor was I in good enough shape. The gear is something easily worked out. Most of it I can either purchase myself, or borrow from highly motivated friends. The physical conditioning was another matter altogether, so I decided it was time to get in better shape. I've been pretty good at exercising regularly, and I'm in ok shape for someone approaching a milestone birthday (if I say so myself). But I knew I needed to put in some extra miles, as well as add strength to my legs ...

Weird Al and Iowa

So a couple of weeks ago while watching TV, I happened to click on an A&E Biography of "Weird Al" Yankovic. Boy - did that bring back some fun High School memories. There were interviews with Dr. Demento (Weird Al started out on his radio show"), and snippets from some true comedy classics - for instance "Eat It", "Like a Surgeon", and others. I remember my best friend Jill really being into his "Polkas on '45" album. I went to High School in Iowa (Go Hawks!), and one thing about the midwest is that someone like "Weird Al" really fits in there. It's the land of brats and beer, and polka (I mean, the Iowa marching band's favorite song is the polka classic "In Heaven There Ain't No Beer"), and people there have a sense of humor - they don't take themselves too seriously. They work hard, have a good time, and are all about community. They take care of each other. When I get to heaven, there...

Company 5K

Friday evening was the company 5K, and most of my team and their families made the effort to participate. The weather was perfect, and the route took us through the neighborhoods around the main building. We ended up finishing in about 45 minutes. Here we all are at the Finish line (l to r: Dave, his daughter and son, Robin, me, Tiffany, her boyfriend Scott, Sudhir, Bindu, and their daughter Naomi) After the 5K, I decided I needed a post-race recovery meal, and got myself down to the local DQ for a pumpkin pie blizzard.
