7 is my Lucky Number.

I am having a weird day mentally - just haven't been feeling like myself at all.  So, I wasn't going to post today because I felt like anything I had to say would be a downer.  Then I started reading all my favorite blogs and the very lovely and honest Diana gave me this award:

I love Diana's blog and over and over again can't get over how much she and I are alike.  I tell her that we are east and west coast sisters.  Isn't it great how the internet brings people together? 

Anyway, this award is just what the doctor ordered - because it made me focus on something other than feeling blah.

As usual with an award, there are conditions. In this case, I have to share 7 things about myself. For your reading pleasure, in no particular order, here is my Honest Seven (rated R):

• I didn’t try marijuana until I was 28 years old and I actually didn’t like it. Or rather I didn’t like the feeling that I wasn’t in control.
• I am unabashedly, deeply in love with my husband – more than he even knows. I think he’s hot, sexy, and is the man of my dreams. It’s my second marriage and we will be celebrating our 18th anniversary in May.
• I am terrified that my husband will wake up and realize that he’s married to a rather ordinary, chubby-fat woman and that he could definitely do much better.
• I was a virgin when I got married (the first time – ha!). But then again, I was only 18.
• I didn’t start running until I was 42 years old, but I have run 3 marathons in addition to many other races of various lengths.
• I have walked 1 marathon for breast cancer research. I did it because I have 2 sister-in-laws who are breast cancer survivors. I walked like a madwoman and was the first walker to the finish. It took me 5:43 which is faster than I ran my first marathon.
• My friends and family do not know anything about this blog. Nor do they know some of the things I just told you.

Now, in turn I get to pass this on - these are all bloggers I read every time they post and they each give me something different.  I hope you'll look them up if they're not already in your blogroll.  Again in no particular order:

• Leslie at Something Brilliant is Brewing
• Lori-Ann at Amazon Runner
• Biz at Biggest Diabetic Loser
• Tricia at Endurance Isn't Only Physical
• Sean at The Daily Diary of a Winning Loser
• Beth at Merry Perennial
• Steve at Log My Loss
