Thoughts On a Thursday–Holy Cow Edition

Ever have one of those days where something happens that makes you think this is the worst day ever, then later that same day, something else happens that makes you think this is the best day ever?

Today is one of those days.  Actually, it was one of those mornings.

Woke up this morning with a cold sore on my nose.  I didn’t even know this was possible {it is – trust me}.  As I’m lying in bed thinking this is the worst day ever, I pick up my phone and check my email.  And I see this in my Inbox:

Hey, that’s me!  I’ve been featured as a Mother to Follow by Another Mother Runner!  Holy cow!  My email, texts, and Twitter have been going berzerk all morning.  This is the first time I’ve ever been “recognized” for running and to have it happen as I’m preparing for my first half marathon…it’s almost like a sign that I’m right where I’m supposed to be, doing exactly what I’m supposed to be doing.  Many thanks to Heather and the gals at AMR for the opportunity.  I’m enjoying my 15 minutes of fame.

Back to business.

Hit the treadmill up in my new Mizuno Wave Rider 15s!

They definitely felt different than my Ghosts, but I liked them a lot.  Looking forward to pounding them against some pavement.  Jumped off the treadmill and into my BodyWorks class.  Daphne kicked our butts last night!  My arms and legs are jello this morning, but in a good way.

Food:

After my BodyWorks class I had burned off exactly the same amount of calories that I had consumed that day.  How does that even happen?  Got home and made a fried egg sandwich with muenster cheese and bacon on an english muffin.  Took a shower and went to bed with wet hair.  I was way too exhausted to even care about what it would look like in the morning.

This morning I had a coffee date with my favorite girl:

She’s obviously very interested in what I have to say.  She didn’t even know I took this picture.  Teenagers are tons of fun.

Do you ever have breakfast for dinner?  D thinks it’s weird but I love it.  And I crave eggs a lot.
