Five Tubs of Ice Cream and a Workout!

I love ice cream. I eat only a couple of teaspoons though. Hmmm... Of several varieties, that is.

Last night, I threw out 5 tubs:
  • Pineapple Coconut
  • Green Tea
  • Mint Chip
  • Pistachio Gelato
  • Kulfi Cream Falooda - Pink
I still have 3 cartons left though! (Mango, Ginger, and Italian Kiss Chocolate-Hazelnut Gelato.)
See, I am on the road to fitness!  I did wake up at 5am. I did go to the gym at 5:30am. I did a my first workout! I did good today! :)

The 2010 San Francisco Marathon™ Race Confirmation!


It's official. On Sunday 22 November 2009 at 12:30 am, I received my email confirmation that I'm registered for the The San Francisco Marathon! It's the 1st Half Marathon, which will take me across The Golden Gate bridge, covering the first half of The San Francisco Marathon course with a slight deviation for the final ½ mile. The race starts on the Embarcadero (near the Ferry Building) and finishes in Golden Gate Park. I'm excited, and terrified at the same time!

I have 34 weeks or 245 days left to train! I CAN DO THIS!

Now, the question is, who else will actually register and run this race? Saying that they will is one thing, registering is another... Let us wait and see!
