I finally got some miles in!!  First I did 70 minutes of the yoga video, and when it was time for the stretches, I went out for my run.  I'd considered doing 6, but thought 4 would be better to not over do it on my ankle.  And I realized if I did 4, I might have time for a quick nap.  So 4 it is!

My watch was KO'd, which was nice to not worry about time & pace.  The moon was extra lovely, the dipper ready to scoop me up.  Birds were already chirping in the dark of 5 am.   They kept me company and sang to me along the way.  I felt a little like Uncle Remus!

I came home, did 20 minutes on the elliptical to finish up an hour of run/elliptical time, and then finished up the last 23 minutes of the yoga video with the stretching.  A quick shower and I had time for an 11 minute nap.  Just right :-)

It was so super duper extra wonderful to run again.  I feel like I can do anything now.  I left Prissy Pot at home, and it's just the QP today.  And today is a very special day- it's chili dog & snowcone day.

I'm a little like Stanley on "The Office" when it comes to chili dog & snowcone day... I feel like Stanley on pretzel day.  I even dressed up nice today just in anticipation of the special day.  The principal arranges for a local restaurant to bring their roach coach out the school and they serve us hot dogs, chili, cole-slaw (for the hot dog since this is the south), onion, relish & all the fixins.  They also have a shaved ice machine and make us delicious snow cones.  My favorite- pina colada (gotta bring my own Captain).

So hooray for chili dog & snowcone day!!

Like Stanley on Pretzel day - ha! I totally got it now!! Enjoy it, especially after that killer workout you did this morning. Were you up at 2AM?!?

Oh, wanna help sponsor a take-out/eat-in dinner for T-rex?

You're a pirate, you should have some Captain on hand.

Maybe Uncle Remus can get Prissy Pot a new Garmin watch for Mother's Day, or her birthday next week :)

Have another fun day eating your way through work at candyland!!

RAD- got up at 330. Totally worth it. Only 364 more days till chili dog day comes again.

Chad- of course I am a prepared pirate and had Cap'n on hand. However, I was introduced to a new flavor of shaved ice : wedding cake. And a pirate always has rum cake at their wedding.

Bye-wing. I do believe that uncle Remus may have been zipadee dooh dah-ing online for that new Garmin.

And a perfect end to the day was physical therapy and 2 pieces of cake at the NTHS ceremony.

Boo-yah!!
