Running, Marietta-Georgia, Politics, & Time Change

I'm getting the running bug again. I'm sure it has something to do with the fabulous weather we've been having here in Arkansas. One of my "goals" this year is to run a full marathon. The Chicago half-marathon last year was so flat and the weather was a-mazing. I got on their website just to see when the full would be and it said that you had better register because it fills up in April! It's not until October! So now I'm forced to decide RIGHT NOW if I want to do it....
I keep watching this video to get my siked about giving them my $125:

The excitement of all those people will surely help me finish the 26.2....right?

Anyhoo....
I really like seeing that someone in Marietta, Georgia reads my blog. I worked at a water park in Destin for two summers in college and my nametag said "Marietta" [duh, right?]. A lot of people from Georgia vacation in Destin, so about two or three times a DAY I got asked if that was my hometown. People thought that the water park put our hometown's on our nametags, not our names. Strange.

I work at the Arkansas State Capitol and last week it was Candidate Filing time. In the picture below a lot of politicians are gathering in the Rotunda to file. The big cluster is Senator Lincoln filing to run again.
I am always super interested in who filed for what office. Kinda wierd, I know. My Dad really enjoys listening to all of the "insider" info I have. Or he humors me. Whatev.
Don't forget to set you clocks back or forward or sideways [any Lost fans?!?!] tomorrow night. Sunday will be awesomely long. I can't wait.
