I slept before going to my parents, a nap instead a run not sure that is helping the training. But it was an amazing nap, my littler Schnauzer curled up with me and rain pitter pattering outside.

Tonight my friend is taking me out for my birthday but I may still do my 30 minute run afterward. Sure Mexican food isn't ideal fuel but it is only a 30 minute run. Being a bum all week isn't going to make the 8 miles this weekend any easier!

Eclectic- Your weather sounds like the stuff of nightmares!! I can't function below 40 and did I read -40.

Yellow- Congrats. I am still trying to convert the mileage, my head is hurting. Is that 15?

Lime-I may have to try the rolling pin, DH had been wanting a stick but I have 3 rolling pins. I am finding stretching my back over the balance ball is MAGICAL. Not sure it is recommended but doing a backbend over it at night keeps me able to sit up.
