Winner!

For some reason over the last couple of years I've had really good luck, I've won numerous drawings that I've entered. In the summer of 2007 I won a drawing for taking an online survey for a local magazine, then I won a book from a local radio station who did a drawing at a community pic-nic, about a month later I won a dinner for two after buying a raffle ticket to support a non-profit organization.
But that's not all, the same year I also won tickets to see a really cool Irish band who was playing locally.
I'm sure there's more, but m0st significantly I just won a drawing for a THREE MONTH FAMILY MEMBERSHIP TO BELLINGHAM ATHLETIC CLUB!!!!!!
or BAC, this couldn't come at a better time. Training for a half marathon requires a lot of hard work and well, running. I don't have the time or the daylight to get a lot of runs in, so having the gym membership will allow me to workout on the treadmill.
Let me just say something about treadmills.
I HATE THEM.
Hate, hate hate them.
I can easily and somewhat happily run 5 miles outside, no problem. But put me on a treadmill and after 5 minutes I want to stop.
Hard work and dedication will help me make my goal of running a half marathon, and if I have to train on a treadmill to reach that goal so be it.

I redeemed my gift certificate, they have two locations, one downtown just a few blocks from my work and one on Meridian, just a few blocks from Jeff's work.

I ran 3 miles on the treadmill, I also rode my bike to meet Suzanne earlier in the day, so got about 4.5 miles of biking in too.
