Hey guys! Miss me? 

Things have been a little chaotic around here: work, both at the Ocho and Corky, Mother’s Day plans, Tornadoes, and today is the Primary Election. 

I got called into work Sunday evening for 4 hours. That sucked. Its been non-stop storm coverage and political coverage here. Today I’m working from 8:45 until 10ish pm. Grrr… I’m not a huge fan.

  • I’ve been running, had some fairly decent runs the past few days. This morning it was 42 degrees so I bundled up to head out.
  • I ran 10 miles post half marathon last week. Felt good. I did 2 quick miles this morning before work.
  • I’m slightly irritated, I’m up like 5 pounds after the Half on the 4th. How/Why does that happen? And why won’t it come off?!?! I’m trying not to be tied to the scale, but I can just feel it, you know? I feel squishy and slightly comfortable. I want these pounds off now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Grrr. Any ideas as to why they’re staying on? Or where they came from? Frustration is high here. I’m not eating crap!!!
  • I made Strawberry-Rhubarb Cake to bring to work for election day. It was gobbled up before 2:30pm. TV News people LOVE free food! It was quite delicious, if I do say so myself!
  • Pictured: Election Night Pizza from Pizza Hut. Something about it just tastes so good. 
  • ONE MORE MONTH UNTIL I SEE BROOKE!!!!! The Manitoba Half is 32 days away. I’m excited for another race and some time with my favorite Canadian.
  • I’ve been sleeping like a CHAMP the past few nights. I’m pretty notorious for not being able to fall asleep at night for nearly an hour. The past few nights? We’re talking head hits the pillow, I roll over and lay there for a few minutes and then boom: I’m out. I’m so excited. Sleep usually eludes me. I’m digging this whole, going to be early and waking up early to run. I did that Wednesday thru Saturday last week. 
  • My love life is confusing right now. (But then again, isn’t it always?) As Becky says, its always good for some stories, right?!

Hope you have a great week friends!

Weekend Update:

  • Life is a Marathon. Not a sprint. And this weekend was no exception. I worked nearly 5 hours at Corky Friday night…after a full day at the TV Station. So I worked from 8:45am to 11:15pm. Long Freakin’ day. Tips were good though!
  • I worked 2-11pm Saturday at Corky, and was on-call at the station. I ran 1 mile before work and was glad about it. I planned to run my long run (it’s a step-down week so it’s only a 10k this week) after I got off work at Corky on Sunday night.
  • I went to Church Sunday morning, hit the outlets with my bestie and then stopped by the grocery store for a few essentials before high-tailing it to Corky for another 4 hours last night.
  • I got home at 7 and could not face running 6.2 miles on the treadmill. I skipped my long run. I repeat. I skipped my long run. I just don’t know who I am anymore.
  • But it’s okay. I start my marathon training early so that I can have some cushion time. Also, I’m pretty well conditioned. I ran 8 miles last week. I think I’ll be okay. The Lincoln half is May 4th. 
  • I worked about 20 hours in 3 days at Corky. I’d like another weekend please. Thankyouverymuch.
  • A woman saw my Canada mittens from Brooke while I was shopping at the outlet mall this weekend. She asked if I had been to the Olympics and talked about some snowboarder. I told her my dear friend sent me the mittens and I liked them because they were from her and warm. No, I have not been to Sochi. And no, I have no idea what you’re talking about. Sorry!
  • The above photo is not from this weekend. It’s from New Year’s Eve. But it’s of me and my bff’s dog, Ella. I like the pic. So you get to see it. 

Happy Monday friends!
