Look at you, Jen with the cute little Tink signature! 
So, DH and I went out last night to a concert in AC. Friends of ours were supposed to go with us (it was their idea) but they ended up not being able to go. So we went and had a great time. We first went to the Library (it's a restaurant) for dinner. It's one of my favorite places to go. Their salad bar is out of this world (and I got 1,000 island since it was a cheat meal
) and had prime rib with my 2 glasses of sangria. YUMMMMM!
Then we went over to Trump Marina and saw Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. It was standing room only (except for a few VIP booths) and it was great! We were about 3 people back from the stage. Great music, and there were some people dressed in their pimped out best (if you don't know - BBVD is swing music). It really was a lot of fun! We hung out for about 15 minutes after the show & the band came out to sign autographs. We got our friends' ticket signed and bought a poster & got that signed. Fun time!
I went running today to do my 20 minute straight run. I did a warm up walk for 1 minute in my driveway (walked back a forth a couple times ) then set out to go around the block. I ran the whole time because I didn't want to check my watch & be thinking about the time. I ran the 2.2 miles in 22 minutes! I was so excited! I felt really good. I got a little winded about 1/2 way through, but then a good song came on and I concentrated on that more than my breathing and the next time I thought about it I was breathing pretty normally again. My left calf muscle hurt a little bit at the end, but I'm thinking that might have been because my calves were really tight after standing for 1.5 hours last night at the show.
I go back to intervals for my next 2 runs this week, then 25 mins straight on my 3rd run. Then only straight running until I build up to 30 minutes.
I really can't believe I made it all the way around the block today without walking...and I felt good doing it. It truly is amazing what can happen in a few short months. Thanks to you all for helping me along the way. I really appreciate each and every one of you!

How fun to see Big VooDoo Daddy! I'm jealous...they are GREAT!!! Sounds like you guys had a rally fun night out 
. How far are you from AC? I think I remember you are "down the shore" somewhere LOL. Gotta' love our Jersey Speak! 
I'm going to start calling you Speedy Kim!!! Can you loan me some of that "fast"....'cause my runs have been a bit sluggish the last few weeks since the race.
that she gets back to eating....35 pounds is a lot for a short amount of time. 
) And I'm sure I'll set up a group of my own on his!! But for now I just deleted the slow songs. I am getting a little tired of the same songs (I think I have 80 or so on there, but it seems to play the same ones over & over). Thanks again for your encouragement and for stopping by! 
Thanks for the quick drive-by.
). Here's what my intervals were (I was able to stick to the plan):
