Friday Five!

My OOTD. Don’t judge that I’m wearing this sweater twice in one week! It’s warm, comfortable, and it sparkles. It is 10 degrees here. I’m cold. Also, #longhairdon’tcare
Look at my fabulous mint lace boot cuffs! I got mine for Christmas from my parents, but you can order some here. I love mint colored anything, I even have a pair of mint boat shoes.
3 Easy Treadmill miles tonight, followed by 3 more tomorrow and another 4 on Sunday. Sounds like a solid weekend.
Half of the office is out sick today. When you only work with 3 other people in the office right now, that means it’s verrrryyy quiet in here. And the students don’t come back to class until Monday.
One week post wisdom teeth surgery today. My mouth is starting to feel better. However, getting bits of food stuck back there SUCKS. The Oral Surgeon told me it would likely be 6 weeks before I’m fully healed. THAT’S something that NOBODY bothers to tell you when they talk about getting their wisdom teeth out.

Have a great weekend Cats!

Lincoln Half Marathon training W1, D5. Easy 4. Target 12:05-12:55, actual 12:00.

4 miles in 48:00 on treadmill. The treadmill and I had some issues today. Whereas the belt ripped and wrapped around the roller and caused the machine to stop! I performed some minor surgery and kept running.

I’m rocking my new running shirt that my bestie gave me for Christmas. I dig it.

I’m experiencing a lot more mouth pain today. The dentist told me Sunday thru Wednesday would be the worst. So far, he’s right.

I’m going back to work tomorrow for the first time since December 19th…It feels kinda weird!

Happy Sunday friends!

Lincoln Half Marathon training W1, D4 easy 3 mile run. Goal pace: 12:05-12:55, actual: 11:53.

Despite just getting my wisdom teeth pulled YESTERDAY morning, these miles still had to be run. And would you believe that I actually felt pretty good today? Oh, I’m sore. My mouth kind of aches, but running made it feel better. It didn’t hurt and I’m sure the cold air helped with that.

Good news, I saw a dog today!
True story. When I was cooling down and walking home I saw a dog running in the street, so I went up to it to try and corral it. It was muzzled and had tags on it. Soon another dog with a muzzle and tags came running over. It turns out they belong to a house down the street. A neighbor and I took them home and I like to think we saved their lives! They were all over the street.

I’m only allowed to eat soft food like pudding and ice cream. I actually don’t want that, I want real food. But the doc says not yet. Sigh. First world problems with Melissa.

Happy Saturday friends!
