Stormy Bliss

I woke up this morning to a major storm. I love storms so I was very happy. But then I realized that meant I needed to push back my run and I really like to get it out of the way so I was a little disappointed about that.

A little after 10am I got out the door with Atreyu because it had been 30 minutes since the last thunder rumble. It was the most perfect weather. I couldn't have asked for better. I do think I am going to stop taking Atreyu running with me though because he puts up such a fight until the end and it is getting very aggravating. Other than him being a nincompoop the run went really smoothly and it was over before I knew it. We got home and Atreyu was suddenly brown and black instead of white and black so I threw us both in the shower and got the rest of my day started.

This weekend is 10miles, what we consider a short mileage at this point. Sarah is going to be out of town and I know I am going to miss her. I look forward to running with some of the others though and by myself. I am sure I will run with Amy for some of the time so that will be nice to catch up with her.

Future hubby donated all of his chunk change to my cause and it ended up being about $73. He is so wonderful. Thank you all for your support!

But I don't wanna

Getting out of bed this morning was a struggle. It was the first time in about a week that I had slept the whole night through and when future hubby's alarm went off this morning I realized that I still need several more hours to make up for a week's lack of sleep. But I pulled myself up and SLOWLY got ready for my run.

At this point I have stopped checking to see if I want to run. It's not really an option, I don't look at it as, am I excited to get out the door? I don't usually even not want to go, it is just a matter of routine at this point. It's like brushing my teeth or getting dressed before leaving the house. It doesn't really matter if I want to or not because I am going to do it anyway so why ask myself if I want to or not. I realized that my Monday and Wednesday runs had become this way for me. Because halfway into my run this morning, my brain said to me, 'you know, I'm not really in the mood for this today, lets stop and go home'. Fortunately I was already at the halfway point so I just told my self to keep going and I would get home faster. It was just a sign of how tired I am physically and emotionally.

Atreyu did awesome today. There were A LOT of doggies out today and as we passed by he always looked at them curiously but never misbehaved. It kept telling him what a good doggy he was and he looked up at me every time with his tongue out like 'hu hu hu, thanks mom!'

Yesterday Sarah and I boot blocked and we each made $100 in under 2 hours! It was great. Sara's parents also gave me a $50 donation in honor of her so a big thank you to them! I am getting close to my goal, please help me finish getting there. Thanks for all your support.
