I just let myself sleep this morning.  Feeling not so sick to my stomach, just no energy.  I've got a 5k I want to rock on Saturday, so I'm saving my energy to get better....at least that's the excuse MR told me I had.  He tucked me back in bed when he left and I told myself, "I'll get up after he leaves."  The next thing I knew, it was 6:30 and my alarm radio had been going off for 10 minutes before I even woke up.  I'm claiming that I needed the extra sleep!!

Got to work, and the wonderful Donut fairy brought donuts today.  I have no strength to resist donuts... so I had a raspberry filled jelly donut.  Then I remembered that today is registration for the Krispy Kreme Challenge!!  It's Feb 4th in Raleigh if anyone needs an excuse to visit :-)   http://www.krispykremechallenge.com/register

I'm bringing a backpack for my donuts this year. 

2 miles after school (30 minutes) in new shoes.  I walked for 1+ miles, ran 1/2 mile, then walked the rest.

Now THAT sounds like a good birthday run for me :)

I'm glad you got some sleep, and I'm jealous of the donuts!!

You need to start your donut training.

RAD- the sleep was marvelous- I won't lie. The donut was okay, but not a sprinkle maple bar.

Chad- I will NEVER eat 10 or 12 donuts again in one day. I'm stashing them in a big ziplock bag and taking them home in my backpack!

So no competitive eating for you? You still have a couple of months to train for those 10 or 12 donuts.

Do you think there will be any dead opossums on the race route again?

I so want to run this race.

I'd rather train for the root beer float competition. Glazed donuts get cold really fast in February, and the cold icy glazing coating my mouth is a nightmare I'll never recover from.

You should come & run it. Myrtle Beach is 2 weeks after, and it's a nice flat course too!!

It's no Bahamas, but it's usually warmer than Utah in February.

It is a lifelong dream of mine to run the K2C. One of these days...

From Burt on Thu, Dec 01, 2011 at 18:36:31 from 68.14.209.26

Yeah, you better save yourself for the rootbeer float competition. I'm training real hard. Real hard!
