It.Must.Be.That.Time.

My throat hurts...
I'm exhausted....
I'm crabby....
I have an undying urge to punch Matt in the face...
I woke up at 2 am with a charlie horse in my right calf....
I can't focus at work...
Anxiety is at an all time high...

IT. MUST. BE..................

TAPER TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  19 DAYS TO GO!

And with taper time comes shorter interval speed work.  I don't know about all-you-all, but there is not a fast bone in my body these days.  I feel like a sac of cement!  But check out these awesome shoes I won from Emz Onlineshoes.com giveaway!  They are sure to make me F-A-S-T!  Can't wait to try them out (after Rev3, of course)!  I wish I would have gotten a half-size smaller as I didn't realize they were unisex shoes.  Ladies take note if you like these shoes, they run a half-size big!

Brooks Racer ST5's

Brightest shoes I have ever owned!


As a side note, Matt and I went to the Indians game last night with some friends who had tickets in the Mercedes Benz section right along the first base line.  Excellent seats.  Poorly played game.  Excellent hot dogs. Cotton Candy.  Can't complain!  And to go along with the "feeling old" theme that was circulating in the air yesterday here is a pic of Sandy Alomar!  Anyone remember when he used to play for the Indians?  Yeah, I was in HS. And the last pic is of Kosuke Fukudome just because he has the BEST. NAME. EVER!

Happy Hump Day, everyone!

In the words of Heather last night, I think his name is actually, "Fuk U Do Me".

Yup, my "angelic wife" has a potty mouth ;)

LOL! NOPE, I really do have the urge to punch someone in the face....Matt just happens to be with me the majority of the day so he gets to be the fall guy!

DUDE...cracking up at Matt's comment! Oh I remember Alomar and the 90's when I would drive all the way home from Miami U for an evening playoff game! Oh the good ole tribe days!

Oh and you are sooo not old...I got you beat by plenty!

Glad I'm not the only one feeling that way. Crabby is an understatement! And for speed work, yaws it's on the schedule but feel like a slug dragging a cement block. It's so close!!

I'm right there with you. I had a shit-tastic "run" today. Probably wasn't a good idea to do hot yoga for the first time last night either.

Cotton candy? I'll ask you the same question I ask Jennie when she orders cotton candy, "How old are you? You aren't 5 years old anymore" haha.
