Tangent Tuesday

A couple of tangents on this here Tuesday:

-Since last Thursday, I've only gotten two runs in.  When I skipped Saturday's run, I was feeling really guilty for not getting the run in, and planned to make it up on Monday, in order to get my miles in.  Sunday came around and even though I was absolutely exhausted, I got 5.25 miles in, and it felt great!  Monday came around and I was planning to do 3 miles after work, but then I took a nap instead (I NEVER NAP... this is how we know I am tired).  When I woke up from my nap, around 5:30, I put on my running clothes and my mom looked at me and said "You are crazy if you're going running right now... you're exhausted. Listen to your body and take a break".  So I did! I put my jammies on, ate a snack, and got into bed at 7:30 pm.  I need to remember that it is OKAY to skip a planned run.  Skipping one run is not going to make or break my finishing a half marathon, and I need to remind myself of that.

-I found the best running shorts ever.  The brand is Hind.  They are lime green and turquoise-ish. I got the pair at Marshall's last week, and tried them out on Sunday, LOVED them, searched for them online to order more, and failed.  Hind's website only has like, 6 clothing items total on it, so I feel lost and confused where to look next.  PLEASE HIND, help me find these shorts.

-For some reason I keep thinking back to last summer when one of my brother's friends saw me running and told my brother he thought I ran funny.  I wonder if I really do run funny?

-I've started watching a TV--> DVD series called Foyle's War.  It's like "The Mentalist" during World War II. You should watch it too!

-I've had a serious twitch in my left eye since Monday morning.  Starting to get old. 

I'm the tiny head peeping through in the back row.

-I'll be getting a 5 mile run in this evening.. I put a few new songs on my running playlist that I'm SUPER excited about.  Including THIS.  WHY are all Pharrell songs so catchy?  Sidenote: I lived in Miami for a brief while and when my girlfriends came to visit we met Pharrell and he was a precious human being.

Smoothie ingredients.  This is one smoothie.  JUST ONE!

-I got a wooden chair and a wicker laundry basket at the Goodwill the other day for a total of $11.79.  I plan to refinish the chair painting it some obscenely bright color, and the wicker basket is now holding throw blankets at my boyfriend's house.  

I think that's all I've got for today!!! Have a great afternoon!
