Spring Lake 5 - 2013

Thank you for registering for the 2013 Spring Lake Five

And with that, I am in.  Phew.  Today started out like Friday the 13th, not Friday the 1st.  Woke up with a migraine, again, ugh & did my usual morning ritual of checking emails, etc.  I noticed an email from a friend on Facebook & if it wasn't for my urgent need to reply to her gossip, I would have totally missed the post from another friend stating she signed up for the Spring Lake Five.

What?!?  What?!?  Today is February 1st.  I have no idea why, in my stupidness (another made up word) I forgot!  I set my alarm on my phone for 5 am Saturday February 2nd.  Note to self, turn that off.  But I shot out of bed & after 20 minutes of fumbling with the site & checking with other friends (who thankfully wake up at the crack of dawn) , I am in!  4th year in a row.  But this year will be a bittersweet year, as it is the first year that my Grandmother won't be around as I run past her house.  Last year she stood out in the humidity (at 92 years old) to cheer me on with her neighbors.  :(

But I know she will be there with me in spirit, as someone from the Woods family has lived in SL for the past 100 years.  I think that's definitely a tradition that we need to continue.  Now all I have to do is win the lottery!  Hope this Friday gets better.  Happy February my five faithful followers!
