Five things Friday

1.  Cherry Blossom expo is finished..I picked up five bibs and didn't purchase a thing at the expo.  I did do some window shopping though...

2.  Warmer weather..today was a beautiful day..Sunday looks to be the same..hope it doesn't end up being too warm.  (seems like I am never happy with the temps..complaining with the cold and now begins the complaining with the warmer temps..gesh...)  Wonder if the Cherry Blossoms will be out??  I guess I will find out on Sunday.

3.  Short run tomorrow and some cleaning followed by a prerace dinner with friends.  Can a Saturday get any better than that?  There is just something about a racing weekend.

4.  I am craving some ice cream lately..doesn't worry me too much I go in phases where I don't have ice cream for months and then all of the sudden I can't get enough.. choco chocolate chip is my current flavor.

5.  Catching up with old friends.  I talked to one of my old college roommates for a bit the other day.  Ah the fun times we had together.  Always great hearing an old friend's voice.  I love the fact that it has been months since we last spoke and we can just pick up like we see each other all of the time.  Love my old roommates :)

Aww look how young we were!

one week till death

Well I survived the end of the world, but now I have to worry about the half coming up next week.  I have ran one mile longer than I did for my previous half, so I guess that is a positive.  I just have not felt like running.  I really haven't felt like doing much of anything.  I really wanted to just stay in the house and be a hermit.  Now that I think of it, it has been very rainy this spring so maybe that had something to do with my desire to be a hermit.  I never do well in the winter when the sun doesn't come out much, so I am guessing that the rain and lack of sun might have contributed to my  lack of motivation.

Well today I am going to attempt to run 10 miles before the half next week.  It should be fun! Well as fun as 10 miles can get.  Unfortunately I normally have a bagel pre-run, and I am out so I made some oatmeal.  I hope that works out ok for me...yikes.  I think I will just keep telling myself that if I finish I will get some soft serve ice cream afterwards :)  Although who am I kidding, I going for ice cream either way lol.  I have to do something to try and stay cool on a warm day :)

Well I am going to lace up the shoes and off I go!
