Rested!

My head feels better today. I had such a great nights sleep... I did even wake up once in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, LOL! That rarely happens but it felt so good and was much needed. I didn't get to relax and fall asleep until 11:30pm... that is when I was done with laundry, cutting up strawberries (not impressed with by the way), and I had to have a shower. Apparently Jeremy didn't sleep well either because it was so dang hot in our place. He has now brought up the portable air conditioner that was downstairs by our siding glass door... it is now in our bedroom space (next to his bed)! So we should be FREEZING soon while we sleep! The funniest part about it was that the plug upstairs can't take the load of the air conditioner so of course it tripped the breaker. I was then left to cutting strawberries in a semi-dark kitchen, LOL! The lights in the living room worked but not the kitchen... GOOD times at 11pm!!!!

Plan B (this was my idea!) is to get an extension cord that is long enough to be plugged in from the downstairs outlet where it was plugged in before. We will only plug this in when we sleep so we can hide the cords when it is not needed during its unused time. We don't like to have cords dangling around for our few guests who come over, LOL!

Today I feel Great! I am not sore at all!!! I had a great nights sleep and I am ready to run the back bay this afternoon with my TNT group! I am hoping for a 7-miler today since we have more time to do it today than we do tomorrow. So the mental plan for me is 7 today and 6 tomorrow!

Thank you for praying for me on my headache... I feel no pain today! It is so nice!!! Yesterday I took 800mg of Ibuprofen... I can't take less because my body is immune to this stuff! I guess suffering from migraines since I can remember... has this effect on drugs that help the pain!

On a fundraising note... I am only $117 dollars away to making my goal mark! I received $120 dollars yesterday in my tap class for my tapping friends and I will be receiving $150 from my mom and her friends/family who have also donated to finding a cure for this horrible disease!

Back to the Berries... why was I not impressed with the strawberries.... you may ask? Well lets just say I ended up throwing half of them away. They were pretty strawberries on top but the ones on the bottom work dark and mushy... I like mine with some firmness and not mushy! So in the trash they went... well only half of them went. They were on sale at my local Ralph's Market and so I bought them! But honestly I think Sam's Club offered a better bang for your buck! I bought strawberries a few weeks ago and only threw a few away. I think it cost me half of what I paid for at Ralph's (on sale) and the finished amount of cut up strawberries were the same! It seemed like a better deal at Ralph's but with all the ones that were bad... the deal was not so good!

Lastly I am excited to announce my friend Amantha who is an awesome swing dancer... has decided to join Team in Training for the Fall Season which begins in June (I think)! She is signing up for her first marathon : NIKE WOMEN'S MARATHON in San Francisco! I am looking into mentoring for this event next season... more on that to come! I am unsure about running the actual event... although it will be cool to do and the weather should be NICE... I don't want to wreck my knees and shins so I think I will just run half marathons for a while and do one marathon a year... depending on how this one goes! I love to run and I love this organization! I just don't want to regret doing this sport years to come!
