If I wasn’t your friend, I’d tell you you sucked.
I don’t care what you think about my weird food cravings and awful funk I’ve been in…I’m not pregnant.
Phew. Feels nice to get that off my chest.
Seriously…after that post yesterday…I received about 15 emails from my friends asking me if I was sure I wasn’t pregnant. (Although I do appreciate people asking me in email and not in my comments for my mom and dad to start wondering as well). But seriously people. Did you all REALLY think I was???? Do you know NOTHING about me?
Anyways, moving on. I attempted to make hamburger helper last night for dinner as planned…then realized I don’t know how to follow directions. I apparently needed milk to make hamburger helper…which is unfortunately missing from my refrigerator at this time. I ate some more chicken and rice and corn instead. I plan to buy some milk on my way home and make the hamburger helper tonight. Hopefully…that will cure that weird craving. Still no plans to solve my hotdog craving. But I’ll just take them one at a time.
I did do my run yesterday. The weather was really odd. It was actually almost cold out…I had goosebumps for the first mile, but it was also really humid…so I managed to work up a sweat pretty quickly and was warm after the first mile. (I’m still not sure how weather was cold and humid…but it was. We get some weird weather here).
Also…I LOVE taper week. I only had to run 3 miles…and seriously…after running 10 on Saturday…3 seemed like a piece of cake. I have to do some sort of cross-training tonight…does cleaning count? I’ll actually probably just do the resistance band workout again plus my pushups and clean. I think that should give me at least 30 minutes of cross training activity right?
I’m getting very nervous about running on Sunday. I have this awful fear that this race will be a DNF and I will feel pathetic. I’m still obsessively checking the website for updates and double-checking times and locations (I also have a fear we will get to the shuttles too late and miss the start the of the race). Apparently I worry a lot. They closed the online registration, but last time I looked they were pretty much sold out. That’s a lot of people to be running with.
I also keep going back and forth in my head about whether I should just ignore the doctor and try to run the whole thing (my knee isn’t bothering me as much lately on my runs) and my doctor is always overly cautious when it comes to injuries, or if I should stick with my run one, walk one plan that I think totally sucks.
I am trying not to think about the running aspect of the weekend. Instead, I’m trying to think about how excited I am to see Figgs and R this weekend. I haven’t seen Figgs since last Halloween, and it’s been a month or two since I’ve seen R. So that part is going to be super fun. We also have a super awesome plan for Sunday night after the race.
Actually, we have a bunch of fun things to do after the race. There’s the music festival (Hello Billy Idol and the B-52s!) which I will be attending in my pegged jeans, legwarmers, and day-glo shirts. (Ok…it will probably be too hot for that…but you get the idea). And I’ll tell you the other plans we have after we get back from the race. Just in case we chicken out haha.
Anyways, only 4 more days to go!
