Hello friends, I am back at the Charlotte airport. Hopefully this time I will be out of here in an hour – not 7 like Tuesday. I’m optimistic! My flight out of Gulfport left at 7:20am this morning. I brought along magazines and coffee. I’m normally not a coffee drinker, but I like to get them sometimes because it makes…

Breakfast in MS
Hello from Mississippi. I am staying in the “camp” with the volunteers. I was expecting a real camp, but it’s a cute little building with bunks for men and women and a communal kitchen. I ate dinner and breakfast with everyone and it was a great way to get to know the volunteers. w/o: no workout today, but I’m figuring…

Day at the airport
So, after being at the airport for 5 hours I went to get on my rescheduled flight. I was then informed that it had been pushed back another 2 hours. I said, “You’re kidding right? I’ve been here since 8am.” I wasn’t even mad anymore, at that point I was a broken woman. This is me, broken…I smiled to make…

I don’t love having my first flight delayed on the tarmac 30 minutes, running to my second flight, seeing the plane is still there, but the doors are closed – and being refused on board! I ran from my first flight with my…

Going to Mississippi – for work
Today I spend a lot of my morning figuring out my travel plans for this week. I am going to Mississippi tomorrow to cover a story about a church that is building a home for a family who lost everything in Katrina. Sounds like a great story, doesn’t it?! I am leaving tomorrow morning (early) and will be back by…

The Notebook
In case you missed it, here’s my half mary recap 🙂 The race’s results said my net time was 1:50:48 – with a pace of 8:28. Unbelievable! I am very proud of that, but still weirded out that my Garmin showed less of a distance? After extensive reflection I’ve decided to keep a Notebook of my eats for a month….
