Day 5 and days leading up to day 13:

To obviously make up for days 5-13. . . why not just pick up from where I left off. . .

When we last left our procrastinating princess, our heroine was getting over the 3 S's. . . Soreness, Stiffness and Sleepiness. Has she gotten over the 3 S's?  Is she still running? Training for what seems to be an amazing feat of doing a 10K for her 40th birthday at Disney World? Has our adventurous  runner and her bestie running sidekick lowered their run time and has training gotten easier? The answers to these exciting questions and more are found in today's exciting entry. . .

How's THAT for an opening? Mystery? Intrigue? Gotta set the reader up for some excitement. Right? So let's get down to it. . .

Last week was pretty rough.  The start of it was okay. . . the usual Combat on Monday. . . Tuesday was done with a twist.  Run and no CX but then Pump afterwards.  Wednesday. . . ran and then Thursday. . . well. . . that was the day of my 'Prince Charming' AKA Husband's surgery.  A deviated septum and to work on his sinus cavity.  That filled up all of my Thursday-Sunday.  Spending those days making sure he was okay.  By Sunday night he looked like he was on the mend and by Monday morning. . . back to work for me and relieved of my quasi nursing duties.

So by Monday afternoon it was time for Combat.  Back to the usual routine that has become so familiar and my life.  Familiarity is good but sometimes change is better.  The 3 S's are still in effect. . . losing that hour of sleep and waking up when it's dark still makes my body want to cringe. I know. . .give it a few weeks.  I'd still like my hour back if you don't mind.

Saturday though I was able to meet up with my runDisney group that's joining me next year.  My running bestie made a fabulous point. If we're gonna go to Disney and run. . . might as well go big or go home. . . going big is a 10k for us! Why not right? So plans are underway. . . right now we are waiting to get our tickets to get in. That won't happen until July so we have a couple of months to hatch a plan.  I cannot think of a better way to usher in my 40th than with these wonderful women.

Training is up and down things get in the way and well you just gotta go when you can. Now is the time I have to make myself go.  I just hate running by myself. . .  I don't know why maybe I just get in the way of my own thoughts sometimes.  Well here's to getting back on track and to small goals.
