- Happy Friday Wrap Up!!!!!!!! Bullet Style...
- I just read this great article which I will post on the site after I post this. It was about training in the "dark place". It talked about how basically if you want to run a marathon - you must train yourself to suffer and getting through it as much as you must train your athletic performance and endurance. This spoke to me!
- Speaking of marathons - one of the best quotes I heard this week about the marathon is that it is not a speed test or race, it is a strength race. Can't give the credit to anybody - I watched it on the Dan Ho Show - love it.
- I am putting off doing a race this weekend. The Frostbite 15K is happening on Sunday and I don't know if mentally I am ready to be out there. I don't think I need another mentally debilitating run so I am trying my best to chicken out and not do it.
- The weather for the race is supposed to be 62 degrees and raining. Perfect right?
- Little Honey Bunny was sitting in the car last night and was telling me what a bad basketball player he is and it doesn't matter because it is not his dream sport which is baseball. I am concerned.
- Honey Bunny overheard two women talking in Chick-Fil-A last night about a great detox diet. One woman was talking about how much weight she had lost doing one and the other was asking where she could get a juicer. My first thought was - get your asses out of the booth!!!!!!!!!
- Seeds of Change makes these great simmer sauces. They are curries and they go from level low to high in the heat department. There is not an ounce of crap in any of them. I had the mild one with my tilapia last night and I have to say - delicious. Lick the plate good. Too bad I am not eating any bread these days or naan as it would have been phenomenal to pick up every last bit!!!!!
- I took a three hour nap yesterday. Before you condemn me for being astonishingly lazy, let me just say this to you - thhhhhbbbbbbppppppppp ( you know that is me sticking out my tongue and making that funny noise that kids make right?)
- I have tried to work this week without the tv on. I have to have something on because I get scared in my house with it quiet (not in my own head). That's from an early childhood trauma which is not a bullet type thing to get into. Suffice to say - I did good this week.
- My dog Astrud is the cutest smartest dog ever. Not kidding. She's a girl's girl. Even my mother loves her and she hates dogs. She won't poop in the rain though so that's a problem but whatever.
- Today I feel content. I actually can't remember feeling this way, ever. Content is such a nice word. A calming word. I feel good in my own skin.
- I was thinking today about all of the people who keep saying on the news (and by people I mean politicians and in particular Republicans) that the people have spoken. Well I thought the people spoke in November of 2008 and it seems as if we haven't given anyone a chance to do great things. For once, tell the truth, stop relying on the stupid press to do your bidding and stop speaking for me. I can do it all by myself.
- I would like to go to one of the orphanages in Haiti and take every single child home. I would love to help them heal and feel love and safety and have three squares and a warm bed and some shoes and some books and some...well I really just want to wrap my empty arms around them.
- If you have not heard the song Elephants by Rachael Yamagata - you should immediately get on itunes and give it a listen. Gut Wrenching and achingly beautiful. Plus I am sure I get to be an elephant in a future life (as I am still trying to get this one right) because I think they are perfection!
All done! Happy Running, Happy Writing, Happy Anything that gives you joy this weekend!!!!!!
