Happy new calendar day, the best coupon ever, and 9 hours of sleep

It's gonna be May!
Actually, it is May. 
Thanks JT for letting us know.


It's time for a trip to see the parental units. Living 2+ hours away makes it difficult to visit often. I'm so busy with work, running, ...um, watching my coffee brew, ..er uh, sleeping? I don't know. I really have no excuse other than 'I don't wanna', and we all know that excuse makes the cut in my book any day.

I'm making the drive today though. I have some hugs to give them. I also need to take a meeting with some long time acquaintances for a little life update. In the age of social media, where we can tell anyone (or everyone) our business instantly, I still believe that some things should only be shared in person. Those conversations require heart and soul. Some subjects should be given that respect; that's what I intend to do.

And maybe I also really want to go to E911 for some good coffee while I'm in Green Country. It's coffee people! You KNOW me. 

I'm ready to roll. I went to bed early last night (early like I used to do on a normal basis), which ended up in nearly 9 hours of sleep. Honk-shoo. Da best.

Cheap fruit!

Want the best deal in town? The greatest discount around? Here it is, the coupon you've been waiting for:






This might be the worst upload on my blog to date. Please don't judge the rest of my posts based on this one choice. I really thought you'd like the share.

What is happening here?? 

Sometimes I just don't know what I'm involved in, but I like it. Sometimes I don't tell people I'm taking pictures, and I like it. Sometimes I don't know I'm taking pictures, and you like it.





 Liquid cheese. Now that's a cone of shame.




Yep. I'm all about this. This is the kind of thing I can jive with.
 Mmm, marathon prep. You do a lot of things you wouldn't normally do when prepping to run distance. Pedialite, extra rice cakes, feminine chaffing gel between the toes, 3 servings of pasta for dinner.

...wait. That last one is normal.
 I don't even know how or why my phone was this close to me, with the camera on. Am I wearing a chain choker? Is this the 90s? I'm not even 100% sure this is my face.
















Absence makes the heart grow fonder. 

It also helps you get more sleep, do laundry, pluck stray eyebrows, and finally go through your junk mail.

 THE 3RD DEGREE

It's the first of a month, and a Friday. 
Do you have anything good on your brain, or does that combination make you as lame as me?

What are your weekend plans?

That Dam 5k

Image
I found out yesterday that there is a 5k coming up in my area. The 'That Dam Lake Texoma 5k" is on 11/17. I feel like physically I am prepared for it, but gear-ly I am not. I still haven't bit it and bought new shoes. I won't need special shorts, shirts, socks, belts, sleeves, hats, etc. as a 5k doesn't require much fanciness. I need shoes, but first, I need the funds. Le sigh. This isn't a cry out for money, it's more like a cry out for someone to convince me to spend my money. I haven't spent that much on a pair of shoes in years. I became a frugal fanatic and push all belongings to the limit. Help! Last night I was back on the 'mill. Not defeated quite as early, but about 1.7 miles in I hit my wall. How silly! I pushed pushed pushed, and made it to 3.1 in just under 39 mins. S       L        O      W. I need to stop being so hard on myself, but if I'm not, how will I get better?! When I got home I started dinner. In a pinch I always make

Race Recap

Image
You may have seen my mini post on Saturday about my dismal race. I do hate being negative, but I was really unhappy with my performance. The breathing problems, the stumbling, the walking, the dramatics....I was a total mess. Today I want to show you all the awesome stuff leading up to the race! Muscle time!!! Making shirts for the race. Team 'Run Free: peace.love.run' in the house! Gear ready for the race. Nike tennis skirt (bad choice by the way. Rides all up in the wrong places), team shirt (Wal-mart), Brooks Ravenna 4.  (not pictured, SPI-belt)  We were so ready to go!! All smiles. M ran the race pushing her daughter, and not in a little jogging stroller, but in the fully enclosed bike trailer/stroller! And she beat me! Grrr. She was awesome! She said she was a little stoked that she beat me too. She should be. We aren't racing each other, but a W is a W. Made a shirt for her little girl. This is the back. Awwww.  Barking dogs afterwar

Boomer Sooner and the lame mile

Image
Friday night I had a horrible headache so I didn't run. I thought for a second that running may beat it out of me, but I'm glad I didn't try. The people at the gym may not like me enough to clean up after me if I barf on the 'mill. Chelsea, Aaron, me, and J Saturday I had free tickets to the OU game, so of course I went. I overslept til 9am when there came a knockin' at my door. It was myfriends there to pick us up! I had time to get ready, but no run time. We didn't get back home until 10.30pm, so no running then either! BOOMER SOONER!!! (side note: bossman saw this and said it's sad if that is the best pair of jeans I have. Yes, yes it is...) Sunday I finally got out on the road after church. Now, I've heard you are supposed to take time off from running to recover, but I had 2 days off and almost died! It seems over my start to running that time off = bad run for me. If I were a big-time runner like some of the ladies whose blogs I
