2017 OMaD - Week 27

Hellllo, birthday week!

July 2 - 8

Day 183: 7.10 Miles -To start out my day I got a 7 miler in! Yay! I was thinking I may have to do a 6.2 run, but really wanted it to be long since I'm really trying to get back to my long distance norm. Once I got closer to the 10k mark I knew I could get 7 in, which was so nice! It was humid too. I know that I'm out of shape, gained a couple of pounds from the Cincinnati trip, and just not as driven as I once was. I even texted my mom to talk about birthday cake and ice cream!

The park crew were beginning to set up for the July 4th celebration that happens in the park, even though it was eeeaaarly in the morning. If I remember right there were two different cities using this park for their celebrations over the course of the next two days. Yikes! When I M made me a delicious omelette. I eventually ended up sprawled out on the couch - dead to the world. Thankfully we did get ourselves to the grocery store for some necessities.

Day 184: 0 Miles - I didn't do much today. M had to go into work early-early. So I pretty lounged in bed and watched Netflix. I even at breakfast in bed. That's right! It was niiiiice. I did go out to Target to shop for some new bras. I had bought fancier bras earlier this year, but I missed this one Target bra I accidentally threw out during the move. Anyway... perhaps TMI? Eh! Oh, well! I also bought a new breezy green tank to wear! Later in the day we had an early birthday dinner at M's parents house (get this... there are three birthdays within the same week!). Then it was back home as soon as we can because potential traffic around where we live since the city's July 4th festivities and fireworks were practically in our front yard! What I don't get is why celebrations sometimes are done another day other than July 4. It's weird.

Day 185:  0 Miles - Happy 4th of July! It was a lazy day, but we did work on some wedding stuff before getting lunch at Jersey Mikes (seriously good sandwiches, peeps!). We took an epic nap later, which was so nice before we drove out to see fireworks (an ate some food truck bbq). It was great!

Day 186:  3.21 Miles - So I turned 32 this week. Yikes! I had my first thought about how close to 40 I am. As in,  "Oh, only 8 more years till I'm 40." I know, I know. That's till a long time. I agree. But it just popped into my head. Anyway! My mom and I picked up a 5k race packet... Did I mention I'm running the Too Hot to Handle 5k? Well, I am! Then we tooted around an antique store. I met up with M so that we could look at our wedding venue during a preview time. Then it was dinner at Chuy's! Yum!

Day 187: 0 Miles - My first day back at work. Thankfully it was a quiet one. Even though I had four days off, and I was real rested on Monday, I was tiiiired after the passed couple of days! My allergies have been acting up and I had a sinus drain on Tuesday (boo!) so my sleep pattern suuuucks!

Day 188: 0 Miles - First day of doggie sitting for my parents! I stayed up late watching my sister play with her new Omega juicer and taught her how to cook quinoa. She's into Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and has already lost quite a bit of weight. Now she's on a diet designed by a black belt. I wonder how thin she's going to get cause she's already a great size. I have to admit that I'm jealous cause I was that size two years ago. Ugh! I did 25 modified push ups too. It was so difficult! By the time I went to bed I was already sore!

Day 189: 0 Miles - I was getting the race jitters right around dinnertime. I hadn't done a race since March, and just the idea of getting up early and going out to the White Rock Lake area was tedious! For dinner, we made a rice bowl that had pre-cooked fajita meat (I ate beef cause I was running for Team Beef), green bell pepper, onions, cilantro and fried eggs (cooked in oil). It was tasty and perfect. I spent the rest of the night I downloaded new punk music (thanks to M!) to keep my pace fast and fun. I'm hoping that all goes well!
