I’m running a 5k tomorrow…

and it’s going to be 14 degrees! Why did I sign up for this? Oh, because my half-marathon training schedule called for a 5k this weekend and there happened to be one tomorrow! Maybe I will run really fast?

In other news I had to call in sick to work today because while I was in the shower I got a migraine. For my fellow migraine sufferers out there, I get a migraine with an aura, which means that before I get the headache I see a visual disturbance. Usually bright, zig-zag lines. And when I look at things I can only see half of it . Its a little freaky. I take medicine everyday to prevent them and haven’t had one in over a year, so I guess I was due for one. But when I get them I am done for the day. I have to go back to bed and wear an eye mask and sleep off the headache that follows the aura. It sucks and means a wasted day. Luckily today was a rest day anyway!

Have a great weekend friends! Stay warm!

I need (g)love(s)!

So its been one of those weeks. The kind that get away from you and when you blink all of the sudden its Friday afternoon. Whew.

I’m really glad its Friday. And with that, I give you my random musings from the past week:

  • Fall arrived early to Nebraska. However, summer may be making a one day comeback next week. On my runs this week my wardrobe changed from a t-shirt and shorts to capri’s and long sleeves. Either a jacket or a long sleeved running shirt. And I was still a little chilly. 48 degrees at 6:30am is a little cool when one is used to 65-70 degrees.
  • I couldn’t find my gloves for most of the week. I unearthed them last night. (they were with my running hats and such. Good place for ‘em.) Today’s run was muuuch better. My hands weren’t bright red and sooo cold.
  • The sun does not come up until 7am. So as I run out the door at 6:30 it is still a little bit dark. Street lights are still on. Its kind of cool to see the sun come up.
  • I dressed like a cat burglar on my morning run today. It was unintentional. My one and only long sleeved running shirt is black with some purple and I wore black capri’s with a purple stripe to match! (You have to match, right?!) I got some weird looks from the few people who were up early as I was running through town. I think they thought I had stolen some stuff. I will post a picture.  
  • I was irritated about something today and my male boss kept telling me to “let it go.” And “its not cancer.” You know what? I know that, but I am allowed to be irritated and there is nofaster way to rile me up than to tell me to let some go. My blood pressure is rising just thinking about that. Grr.
  • I have a 3 day weekend. I have to work Saturday for the Husker game, so I am taking Monday off. A much needed mini vacay
  • Well, that’s all I got for today. It’s been a long week.

Have a good weekend friends!
