DAY ONE-HUNDRED AND NINE - DUFF PART TWO!!

“If we don’t take time to be silly and joyful, we can get mired in the sludge of our own existence.” ~ Duff

This morning I woke up and went to the downtown Y. This was to date my hardest day of training. I walked five minutes, ran EIGHT minutes, walked five minutes, and then ran another EIGHT minutes. I cannot believe I completed this. The last two minutes I had to push myself to the max. Now I just have to worry about Friday's run of twenty minutes straight.

After work Allie and I went down to Devos Place to see DUFF!! In the lobby there was cakes made by culinary students and alumni. I took a couple pictures of a few of the cakes. Duff was so funny. He is a great story teller and did a great job. He had the audience cracking up!! I loved the story of his mom calling the Grand Rapids press to thank them for writing a great article about his son. Too cute. After the show we went into the gallery where they served cake and ice cream. They put the cake on display and it was amazing!! They also had some ice sculptures which were really neat. I was kind of bummed that the cake was not a piece of Duff's cake like the event page led you to believe. Oh well. I will just have to save up $1000 so I can buy one for myself :)

Time for bed. Enjoy the pictures.

  2. Is that a shirt or dress Mel, it looks cute. I'm sorry it wasn't Duff's cake that you got to eat. :(

  3. I was pretty bummed. I was wearing a dress. I will probably wear it to Molly's dedication this Sunday.
