Working Weekend


We've made it through Tuesday!! What crazy weather we have been having.  I absolutely love Fall, but I do not know what to call this.  Saturday and Sunday were pretty cool, the highs only in the 50s, but Monday morning when I got up to run the temp was only in the 30s.  However, it actually made for perfect running weather for all 12 miles.  That's right folks, I think we are finally recuperating around here!  I am still coughing a bit and have some congestion still, but I felt great on our run.  We were unable to go over the weekend because my running buddy had come down with the stomach bug.  What I think is funny is we knew that we need the mileage, but were limited on time, so, I got up at 4am and we met up at 4:15.  Luckily, we were done and I was back home a little after 6am so that I could get the kids up and ready for school.  I am definitely feeling the lack of sleep today, but my body feels fantastic.  No soreness!!!  Looking forward to our 14 miles this weekend.  Crossing our fingers that we continue to feel well and no more sickness or injuries!!!!

Sunday I hung out with these cool kids and worked outside moving wood piles.  The kids kept busy finding lizards that were hibernating in the cold temps.   Here is a great example of Macy's wild personality in a matter of seconds.....


I love her crazy mood even though it can make me crazy at times.  She is such a bundle of laughs and quite dramatic.

Sunday night I decided to update my iphone which proved to be a dumb move on my part.  I seriously thought for a split second, "Hey, you should sync your phone with the computer before upgrading."  But no, did I listen to the wise, intelligent voice in my head?  nnnnnnnope.  The other, carefree, ridiculous, gets you into trouble voice that said, "It'll be okay, you haven't heard of anyone losing all their info with this update" was the one I chose to listen to.  Well, thankfully I had started using iCloud back this summer and all my contacts and music were restored.  Pics on the other hand were gone.  Thankfully, I also started using google + and it syncs all your photos to a private online album. Sooo, atleast they aren't completely gone.  All in all I learned my lesson.

Quick question for anyone reading that may be a runner....how soon after your first marathon did you run your second?  I may be interested in running another in February and  the reason behind this crazy idea is that we want a goal that will help us keep up our training through the holidays and not slack off.  I'm a goal kinda girl......

That's all for today!! Talk to you soon!!
