Ok, fine. So I don't have a garden like my green thumb colleagues, but I do love food. And film. That's why I feel it is my duty as a responsible food eater/film goer to point all of our Nashville area friends to The Belcourt's Food on Film Week June 26-July 2. The independent movie theatre is showing four new award-winning food-themed documentaries, including Food, Inc. (I hear you should eat before seeing this film; you won't want to after it's over!) See you in the aisles...probably with healthy snacks to share!

Well, tomorrow's the big day. It's going to be an unseasonable 86 degrees for the Country Music Half Marathon, which my husband and I are running.

It's going to be rough, so if you're out watching tomorrow, yell at me (and wish me luck).

But I won't need too much luck. To prepare, I've been singing "Eye of the Tiger" to myself for about the last week. I think it's working. Tonight, I'll probably watch "Rocky."

I'll check back in on Monday to let you know how it went. To all of you fellow Country Music Marathon (and Half Marathon) participants out there, good luck!

UPDATE (Monday, April 27): I crossed the finish line! It wasn't pretty, but I finished. It was a very pretty day, but one that would have been better spent by the pool (and not running around Nashville). Here's hoping for mostly cloudy with a slight drizzle on April 24, 2010!
