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!! |
