Monday Madness ...Seriously!
My Stupid thyroid pummeled me with a tired day. I woke up at 6 am no problem however by 11:30 I hit my wall! I tried to fight it but eventually I gave in about 12. I am sure yesterdays run was part of the equation. I laid down for a quick power nap that resulted in full on drool!
Austin woke me up and it took everything in me to pull it together. I get so angry when I get that tired. I made the boys some lunch and we headed up to GAC.
I really enjoy being with the boys even when they fight and argue.

I had a great run at the Mothership.
400 meter repeats.
1 mile warm up, light run
3 miles: 400m Repeats..I didn't have a watch to track my repeats so I ran till I wanted to PUKE, whatever that pace was!
Run Jog Run with another mile cool down.
I hit the Cold plunge for 10 minutes and in my miserable state I got a text from "Amber" a friend of mine who is joining a running club I am helping with.
"Amber" purchased her first pair of RUNNING SHOES and was so excited..I  jumped on her magic carpet and road that in to finish my cold plunge!
"Ambers" New Shoes!! Brooks!! 
Everything seemed to be recovering till I got a call from Andy who had a flat tire up in Flint and I had to go get him as dinner was ready to come out.
Poor Andy.

On the Bright side it is only MONDAY!! We have the rest of the week to recover! 


I have a little Game for you! I would love to see your ABC's of Running! If you are currently following my blog AND reply with your ABC's of running I will put the responses in a drawing and give out 2 5$ GIFT Cards to Starbucks! I will do the drawing SUNDAY the 24th. And drop the cards in the mail first thing NEXT Monday!!

      HA HA..I am laughing OUT Loud..so much so that Andy is asking me why I am cheesing! My favorite it Up Up UP!! I just love your answers. So witty. They totally describe YOU. I had so much fun doing this and so much fun reading answers. I told Michelle that I think it should be another one of those things that say "You know your a runner when...You love every word associated with running." I have loved reading these!

      Miss you today, You would be so proud of me...I still have some cookies left..but I wont by next week!!
