2016.....BAM!

2016 is off to a running start! I ran my first organized 5k with some girlfriends. Now? I'm hooked on fun runs. It was REI's 'The Worst Day Of The Year' run at McMenamin's Anderson School. We stayed the night before at the venue, and got crap sleep, but did it anyway! I did exactly ZERO training, but managed to run most of it anyway. Next up? Run or Wine in February. 

The following morning, myself and two of the ladies above, headed off to meet another friend in Whistler B. C. For a(nother) girls weekend. 

Inaugural use of my passport! And yes, I AM dorky enough to ask the customs agent to stamp my passport. Which he did. :) 

 We got there by halftime and caught the rest of the Seahawks game. We won! It wasn't pretty, but we won!

We were there for 2 days. While much of it was a blur, we do have photo proof (thank you, selfie stick!) of what we were up to. The Peak-To-Peak was a highlight!  And thanks to our obnoxious shenanigans, the lift operators let us ride alone, so we had the gondolas to ourselves. 

SO. Much. Laughter!! The BEST!!! I met a steel tycoon from Pittsburgh, and had a really great chat. Next to laughing until my cheeks hurt, I love meeting and talking to new people. You can never have too many friends. 

The minute I decided to stop looking for a possible partner, and declared myself "NOT DATING!!" (Not a public declaration, just something I decided) dudes are coming out of the woodwork. WTF?! I'm still healing a broken heart, and therefore not dating indefinitely. So here's to running 5k's, enjoying life with my son, and laughing as much as possible! #goodthingsineveryday
