Howdy Friends. What’s cookin’?

Today is the day we went to the CIBC Run for the Cure. It was a 5K run. It was the celebration run at the end of my course at The Running Room.

Here’s a youtube video of us heading out to the run. I’m having such fun with my little video on the camera we bought

I’m kind of glad it was somewhat of a loosy goosy run because there was no time or anything and if you walked, ran or crawled or for that matter went home to bed no one would notice. I ran for a bit but I really wasn’t into running the whole way. It was freezing and I mean freezing. I wore a t-shirt for some strange reason known only to the good Lord above. I think I needed a snow suit. I did a few 10 minute runs but mostly walked. Bobby came back and met me after running the 5K and he said he saw me strolling along looking at the landscape.

I started running near the finish line to look like I was somewhat trying.

My team from the Running Room ran over the finish line with me. That was very cool. Lesley was our coach for the Ladies Learn to Run and she’s the best. Very thoughtful and at the end she gave us a cool present to wear around our neck and attach a picture.

All the way Bobby is saying, what was your time. I explained to him that it doesn’t really matter and I surely don’t care. Is it only me or does it really matter what time anyone runs in? I know it matters for the Boston Marathon and other things but a fun run shouldn’t be that serious.

I said to Bobby listen “If I came in first or last I’m still me.” He doesn’t get me.

We met Bobby’s sister, Kimmi, and her daughter, Sahra, son, Jason and beautiful granddaughter, Ashley at the run. Here are some pictures.

I especially love this picture of Kimmi, Jason & Ashley at the end of the race. Too cute.

There was a group that had on the back of their shirts “Too Blessed To Be Stressed”. I thought what a great saying. They let me take a picture.

So that’s it. I did my first 5K run/walk (lol) and it was lots of fun.

Good Day Dear Friends! Welcome to The Psychic Cottage Blog.

The last blog brought us to when we were leaving Pictou and heading into Cheticamp.

On the road again.

We stayed that night at Merry’s Motel. It was a quaint little room. Clean with a friendly couple that ran it. I think my sister freaked out the husband a bit. He just kind of looked at her and you could see the panic on his face like what is she going to say now and how am I going to keep a straight face. My sister has the funniest sense of humour and no one is safe around her. We had a great room that looked onto the pier. Yellow doors are always welcome in my world.

After we were settled we went out to look around the area and came across Joe’s Scarecrow’s. It was dusk and it totally flipped me out. We were all alone there and I said to Diane let’s get out of here. She was taking pictures and walking around and I’m totally imagining the worst horror flick of all time and one of them coming alive and killing us and we are tomorrow scare crow’s. I know I have a very active imagination but I couldn’t help it. Check it out.

It’s a total must see and don’t forget to drop some money into the container to keep it going. It just gave me the willies. It could have been the time of day and we were new in town and my imagination or something. I was relieved when we were back in the car with the doors locked. Diane was laughing at me the whole time.

Ok I’ll have to continue Day two in a Part three as things seem to be acting up with too many pictures.
