Haha its never good when a taylor swift song is stuck in my head. It never goes away.
I was apparently so tired this morning when I got up that I hit the on button on my keurig machine and ran water through the same Kcup twice. I never do that. I was afraid my coffee would be too watered down but it wasn't. Thank goodness. Now I've had 2 times the amount of coffee as usual and I'm still not awake.
Can you tell I am not a morning person? This amount of coffee should have me bouncing off the walls!
I ran three miles last night and my lower back muscles are sore today. I signed up for a race in April to motivate me to get back to running for real. My running partner and I made a plan for the week with four run days, so I am happy to be back on plan.
discogranny I just signed up for a race in April too. The only way I'm motivated to keep running is if I do races. I'm planning to do my first marathon this fall if I'm not pregnant by then. But that's so far off, I'm slacking. Last year I did a race a month working my way up to a half. Looks like I'm going to do it again this year, because I suck at internal motivation.

G22 I stopped running completely for IVF, so the last few runs have been my first since October. I really thought they were going to be terrible but they were okay. Nowhere near my prime running speed or distance before having to stop and walk but still not a complete mess. GL at your race! Mine is running through our local zoo, which I am excited about because I adore the zoo. DH is already complaining about having to smell poop while running. LOL!
I so hope they bring this to us in the Spring: illuminiterun.com/index.php I love EDM and it seems like it would be such a fun 5k!
discogranny, that iluminate run would be so cool! Id do that in a heartbeat if one was near us. I'm dying to do a color run, and up until this year the closest one to me was up in canada. How dumb! All the big chains runs ingore the NW part of the country. But they finally are having something similar a few hours away in May, but H isn't sure if he can do it due to work and its one of those runs it wouldn't be as fun to do alone.
We did a run last year with our dogs and it was a blast. Its all centered around dogs and benefits the local humane society. That was actually my first race ever, and we are hoping to do it again. Our dogs love running and traveling and its just a lot of fun all around.
The marathon I'm planning to do (if not pregnant) is the Air Force Marathon which is a huge race! H did it last year, and it would be the largest race I've done. But it think it will be a neat experience. If I'm pregnant ill still go and cheer H on

Af came today and all I wanna do is eat junk food. I am suppose to do yoga sometime day because I need to start exercising more but yeh I don't think that will happen.
I just discovered vegetable rolls. I like sushi, but I hate seafood. I would pick out the seafood parts and eat it the rest of it. But then I realized they make vegetable rolls. Life will never be the same.

mofongo - no shame in that donut consumption game. We also laugh, I'll tell DH "I'm pretty sure it's my fertile window." and he'll respond something like "sweet, so a date for margaritas in two weeks then?" If we didn't have humor we would be in a shared padded room by now.
G22 - I bow down to your half marathon greatness. I signed up for an 11k once on 11.11.11, but we were in Vegas for my birthday and the race got moved to the evening at the last minute so we ended up taking a pass. That's the closest I've ever come to a race above 3.1. The dog run sounds fun, we have a great dane and he is out on running more that a few laps around the neighborhood...hah!

Lola tht is us too. It makes me sad which is why I didn't hart this moth but H was still all have you ovulated we should have sex cause I bet you are near ovulation.
In other days I went out today because I am almost out of pads, yes I use pads. And I decided to switch to tampons. I mentioned this to h and he was all what I thought they were the same. Yeh he got a lesson on pads vs tampons today
My husband thinks I'm crazy because I want to help the bees. We have carpenter bees (link) every spring that bore holes in the frame of our deck. I don't want to kill all the bees because I care about pollinators. So instead, I told him that I want to put a big log on the roof of the deck so that the bees will make their homes in it instead of our deck. This morning I noticed a neighbor had a bunch of logs on the curb, so I told H to grab one of them when he gets home tonight. He called me cray cray. LOL I'm not crazy, I swear!
Tonight is the US/Mexico World Cup qualifier and I'm excited! Come on you Yanks! Conveniently, my US jersey is red so I decided to wear it all day! Supporting the US AND marriage equality. :Y:
