I'm going home!!



I am going home!!!
We got the tickets! It is official! I am going HOME! MAY 26th!!!
I am so happy!!!
I had that song in my head all day I think I sang it out loud at the gym while I was running on the treadmill..sorry people next to me: I am NO American Idol!

Speaking of Idol..who do you like?
I LOVE Paul McDonald and Casey Abrams

Speaking of running on the treadmill...
Well I got to the gym and before I started my workout I made a call to try to get an appointment with the allergy Dr.  When I called they said to come right away.  I am so miserable these days that I packed my stuff,  got Jonathan and went to see the Dr.
He told me I have severe congestion, the worst he has ever seen.
No wonder I feel like I have been hit by a bus.

After that visit I went back to the gym to do my speedwork. 
I had 35 min tempo today.  I ran 1 mile easy and increased the speed for the 35 tempo...after 25 min I wanted to DIE.  I had a really hard time breathing, SEVERE congestion will do that to you.    I slowed down a bit for the rest of the 35 and so I did not complete the tempo portion like I was supposed to.  Because of that I decided to add 4x400 intervals.  Punishment for not finishing the 35 min at tempo pace.  5 miles total.

I got some new meds let's hope they work because if they don't I will have to take Prednisone and I HATE to take that.  But I cannot stay like this.  It sucks.  All the bones in my face hurt. :(  OK 1-2-3:  Poor me.

Rest day tomorrow.  It is the awards ceremony at Will's school.  He is getting 3 awards.  I will be smiling a lot pain or no pain!!!

T'es trop dur avec toi-même...4 X 400 as punishment for not doing the whole 35 min. ;) You're allowed to take it easy when you're that sick my dear!

Fais attention à toi xo

You are a rock star to run with crazy congestion. Props to you!

Runner better races is an excellent plan. When I look at my first half versus my second, the joy I was able to get out of the second one was so much higher, because I was running it better. I was more prepared, I was less scared. So yes, running better races is a rad goal. I'm going to channel that.

Wow, Canadians ARE tough. Way to Cowboy Up. Yeah, I have been watching NHL scores on the internet everyday cuz I love hockey soooooo much. It's such an aweseome sport to watch cuz it's so easy to track the puck and actually see the goal being scored.

"Congrats" to Ryan and a "hope the meds work for you" to you. I've never had allergies, but I have close friends who have severe allergies and I don't know what I'd do if I had them.
