I'm so over how sedentary I've become!!! Today I have officially started Couch to 5k, with the goal of running my first 5k in October. Besides ending my couch potato lifestyle -- this will help me firm up and increase my overall health. Sounds like a win-win to me.
I ran across this article by Mary Meehan today and thought it was a good fit with todays entry. Enjoy!

Day trip to Wrightsville Beach
As I watched the weather during the week I decided we were going to Wrightsville Beach on Saturday. The beach is only a 2 1/2 hour drive from my house, so it's a great day trip destination. Parking can be a nightmare so you need to arrive early. To get a good parking spot I suggest you arrive around 9:00 am. Our timing was perfect. We landed a great spot in the parking area near Johnnie Mercer's pier.
It was an absolutely gorgeous day! You couldn't ask for better weather. The temperature was in the high 80's with low humidity, and winds at 10 mph. The ocean was rough, and a little cool when we arrived, but had calmed down, and became warmer during the day. The waves were nice, which was an added bonus for the surf event going on down the beach from where we were.
After 5 hours of sun and surf, it was time to go. We had purchased a day parking pass, so as we were leaving we gave the pass to the person who was waiting for our parking spot. It felt good to make someone's day a little nicer.
I'm already looking forward to our next beach trip!

Scan Update
Good news. Dennis remains stable with a slight improvement (-.3 cm) in his third right rib and left pelvis, and his labs were normal. He will continue taking Votrient and go back in 4 weeks for lab work. Dennis was having issues with vomiting and diarrhea, so he had his medication reduced to 600 mg. I hope and pray the drug continues to work at a reduced dosage. It has only been a few weeks since this reduction, but so far so good. Dennis returns for lab work on August 1st.
