Let’s move it, I like to move it, move it.

So in case you forgot, my sorella is getting married. This means I need to whip into shape in a mere 14 weeks so that I can impress the crowd with my good looks to distract from my nervous speech.

Anyways, so starting this week, I am going to be adding challenges here so that I can challenge myself to a more active lifestyle. It’s summer. It’s time to get moving.

Challenge 1: Walk 10,000 steps 7 days in a row (running included.)

This challenge is brought to you by my pedometer, which I bought a few months ago thinking it’d help me walk more. For a few weeks it did, but I need to have a goal to reach to get motivated. Normally my steps are around 1.5 miles, which is about 3,000 steps. Embarrassing. But that’s not including any running I’m doing. But I don’t run every day. So starting today, I am going to get my 10,000 steps (about 5 miles) in every day until next week.

Who’s with me?

and we disappeared into the groove

Tonight is our first concert night of the summer. I am thrilled to be going with Traci, one of my bests from my study abroad in 2006. (Pause for 5 years. Wow.)

This is us circa 2007, on our way to Marc Broussard’s concert in Boston, July 16, 2007. Ticket cost? $18.

This is Traci and I at Chilton (Greystone Mansion) recreating one of our favorite Gilmore Girls scenes.

Not to be confused with the episode with the first and only traffic light in Stars Hollow.

But I digress. The point is, I like Traci a whole lot, and I like Marc Broussard a whole lot, too. And I couldn’t be more excited to kick off the concert summer with them. Ticket cost? $30. Marc, you’re moving up in the world. I am glad you’re still around four years later, and running strong.
