Hi Everyone.
I'm doing alright, hope everyone is doing well to. About a week and a half ago, I went 'overboard' and got sick. I was dehydrated pretty badly, due to work, running, karaoke, and probably not much rest. Luckily, I got over it within 48 hours, and been trying to squeeze some naps in, when I get off work or doing any business errands or running.
Running is coming along good. I signed up for my fourth marathon this year, which I'll be heading to Concord, Michigan on October 9th. It's going to be a hilly one. As for my other races, they are coming along well. I placed 1st in both my age divisions in the last two races I ran in. My times are very consistent this year. I have a 5K this upcoming Saturday, third race this month.
Next Tuesday, I'll be competing in my first karaoke final, along with eight others. I've been thinking of what to sing for the finals. I did do Michael Jackson's, "Billie Jean" in the first prelim and I secured a spot in the final (two of the three judges gave me perfect scores). I was thinking of doing that again or doing Bryan Adams, "Run To You." I try to be eclectic to music, but I lean towards the rock (modern or classic), pop, and 80s. Here is a small list of songs I've sang:
867-5309/Jenny (Tommy Tutone); Rehab (Amy Winehouse); Doctor! Doctor! and Hold Me Now (Thompson Twins); Bad Case of Loving You and Addicted to Love (Robert Palmer); Drive (Incubus); I Believe In a Thing Called Love (Darkness); Serenity (Godsmack); and Bother (Stone Sour)
I also thought about doing more Billy Joel, and trying some Maroon 5, Rush, Toto, and The Police. Any other suggestions, feel free to throw them out there.
Peace Lily: Thanks for posting that link about the Indiana State Fair. A friend of mine showed me some pics on her phone and it was shocking. One of my friends from high school knew one of the victims that died there, Alina BigJohnny was her name. She is from Fort Wayne here and was going to start her first teaching job last Monday. A lot of people are accepting donations to start a fund in her name.
Fireman: Condolences to you and everyone.
Michelle: Happy Belated Birthday
Talk to you later peeps, got some running to do.
