Thankful Thursday – Post 24

It’s been a busy week.

I am thankful for:

• Winning a contest! I won a ticket and $500 travel money from Attune Foods for the Fitbloggin’ Conference in Baltimore on May 20 and 21st. Yippee!! So excited for this conference. Thanks Attune!!
• A meaningful dinner with friends
• Spending Sunday to Tuesday at the beach. Jerry’s tough to buy gifts for. Since he loves time away  and enjoys the beach, I had bought him a gift certificate for Ocean City Mansion for Christmas. (it was a perfect gift because I got to enjoy it also :)
• New haircut and color
• Running a 5k with Dean Karnazes today! Dean is running across America (seriously!) He left California on February 25 and has run about 50 miles a day since. In different cities along the way, he does a 5k … today there is one in Philadelphia. I’m so impressed with what Dean is doing … both the personal stamina it takes and the cause he is running for — Action for Healthy Kids so I’m joining him for the run today. (hoping I actually get to meet him!)

.

Live with Regis and Kelly is following Dean’s journey (his run will end on their show next week)

Watch Regis and Kelly this morning … you may see a live shot of the Philadelphia 5k. I’ll be the one in the pink “Running … Because I Can” Shirt :)

What are you thankful for?

UPDATE – THURSDAY 2PM: The morning was great … from the pre-party (where I met another Oberholtzer and I was interviewed) to the 5K (where I met Dean’s parents and ran with Dean for a few minutes) to the after party (where I chatted with many great runners and was front and center for a promo for Eucerin skin care products, one of Dean’s sponsors)

Live with Regis and Kelly’s film crew was there … and anything that airs will air on tomorrow’s show. I will post a recap with pictures tomorrow.
