I just transferred my 101 list to an excel spreadsheet, where it is easier to track how many tasks are completely finished. At this point, I have completed 13 of 101 tasks! 18 are in progress and 70 aren't even started haha.
Time to get moving!

63. See 5 new states. (1/5)
Well friends, I made it to Arkansas. Collin is now stationed there, and I took a super quick (free thanks to Delta vouchers) trip for a weekend in June. And this past Monday evening, I got back from a great 6 days with him :)
I really enjoy Little Rock. Collin has been stationed on the panhandle of Florida and Corpus Christi, Texas, since I have known him. Both areas were......not my idea of a city. I am a Baltimore girl, and I may live in the 'burbs, but I know what a city looks like. Little Rock kind of meets my expectations :)
It's not HUGE, but there are actual parts to the city. Collin lives on the North side, right by the downtown area. However, we hop on the highway and head further north to the base and a lot of the suburbs where his friends live. We head southwest and go to the climbing gym. You never feel like you are changing towns, like it did to drive from Milton to Pensacola. And Corpus Christi.....well don't get me started.
I am glad I have gotten to see Little Rock, and as always, where Collin is living!

53. Run 210 miles in 2010 (76.5/210)
So, I am up to 76.5 miles in 2010! I made a low estimate for January, February, and March. I started "counting" in February, when I created this blog, but I started writing down my miles starting in April.
My goal of 210 is looming! I still have over half of the miles left to run, and half the year left to do it (minus 7 days!). I calculated that I have to run around 22 miles per month in order to meet my goal! It is miserably hot out, but I am getting back on track tomorrow! One of the problems I have is my favorite route to run is only about 1.7 miles. We don't have a good two mile route, which would be my go to distance. If we don't do the 1.7 mile run, the shortest we can do without putting a ton of thought into it is 2.75. Maybe tomorrow we will set out on the 2.75 track. I can figure out what 2.25 or so would be, and walk it out if I need to! I need to start pushing my distances more!

35. Try 5 new recipes. (5/5) and 24. Complete four 5ks (2/4)
Well, I finished #35! And am halfway to #24. These two were completed on the same day.
On Father's Day, my dad and I ran a Father's Day 5k that benefited the NICU of a local hospital. It was not a great run, but I crossed the finish line :)
Afterwards, I had my mom and dad over to my apartment, where I made breakfast! Mom was really helpful in getting everything ready with me, and we had scrambled eggs, French toast, fruit salad, bacon, and scrapple!! We love scrapple :)
The French toast recipe came from my Hungry Girl cook book. I will have to type up the recipe. It was pretty good…..a little bland, but overall pretty yummy for as healthy as it is supposed to be!

19. Buy myself a Coach purse
Well, I went a little crazy....
I got 3 ITEMS from Coach :)
It started with a trip to the Coach store in Towson Town Center. I ended up getting a swing pack and a black wristlet there. I spent $230.
The next night, Laura and I took a trip to the outlets in Queenstown. Oh MAN, are the prices better there or what???? I also had a 20% off coupon, AND they had a huge clearance section that was an additional 50% off the marked down price. I found a swingpack that I liked a LOT better than the one I had bought, and found a brown wristlet....I spent $105 there! Then, the next day I returned the swingpack to the Coach store in the mall and got $130 back.
So, moral of the story, I got 2 wristlets and a swingpack for $200!
