That's 4 great days.... here comes the weekend! I will be fine.

Katie's B-Day !!
Tonight is the biggest challenge of the weekend... Katie's B-Day at Bucca. I will not go on an empty stomach and I will not touch the garlic bread!!

Ick!
I have 'poochy belly' today and I'm guessing it's because I'm not doing abs everyday now with all my other stuff. Maybe I will try to do at least some crunches if I can squeeze it in around the regular schedule everyday.

Up at 4:45am... got 5 miles and some good stretching in... I am so sore from lower body yesterday I think running stretched it out a little but oh baby! Once I get into the swing of this I realize it won't feel like this so much!! Whew!

I tried my new water bottle that settles in the 'small' of my back. Oh. hell. no. I think I am going to have to get a fuel belt with several smaller bottles and try it. First of all, it's too heavy with all the weight in one spot and second of all it bounces all over with my silky shorts and third of all I hate it.
Oh well. It's my first experiment with carrying water... don't ask me how... I guess running before the sun comes up is how I cover 16,18 and 20 miles without water???!!

(I like the way Chelsea puts headings on her paragraphs... keeps my blog easier to read ...as my A.D.D. gets the best of me... he, he )

Scaredy cat
Usually I am totally fine running in the early am. They are pretty well lit streets and I only see a handful of cars. But.....
This morning I passed a guy I had never seen before... He was walking in the curb-well on the street in the opposite direction as me and I was running down the sidewalk. I acknowledged him and he said hi but I picked up my pace a little as I passed him... I'm sure because my senses were alarmed I thought it sounded like he had turned and was walking through leaves in my direction so I got a crappy shot of adrenaline rush. I hate that feeling... ick!

Of course he did not turn and run after me... duh!

Anyways.... I'm a goober

My Hubby...
Is an angel. I just wanted to get that out there. I know I ooh and gush about him ad-nauseum but he just never ceases to amaze me...(and believe me... I have experiences to compare to )
Last night we grabbed some dinner and read the paper together. We are always pointing out something of interest to eachother in our paper perusing...
All of the sudden he slaps my leg and says.. 'Oh, guess what!.... That guy, Eric at Starbucks, (Eric & his wife are in the very stressful process of adopting a baby from China... they have tried to conceive their own baby for about 4 years...)...' They're pregnant!! AND still going through with the adoption!!' Matt was just as happy for them as I am.
*big sigh*

Today...
Work is super quiet... It's Friday in late summer and 5 of the people I work closest with are on vacation. Crazy, I know. The forums better be humming today

Man, I wish I could hang with Monica this weekend!!
Instead I have to work both Sat & Sun mornings...

Rebekah
Happy weekend to all!

769 miles run...231 to go!!
