- Got up at 4am
- Got on the bus at 5am
- Sat on the ground, at the top of a mountain, eating a PopTart and playing with a blue glowstick (the blue ones are the prettiest - don't argue)
- Used the Porta-a-Potty at the starting line twice
- Put my Ipod on "shuffle" - totally not normal for me - very out of character. It was completely unorganized.
- Started running at 6:15am
- Left Knee told me he was angry at 6:16am
- At Mile 15, I secretly wished that Jayson would appear. He didn't.
- At Mile 16, I finally discovered why my right shoe felt "sloshy". Looked down to discover blood oozing out the top of my shoe. What the fuhhhhh??
- At Mile 20, I had to use the Porta-a-Potty again. Not fun. At all.
- At Mile 23, Left Knee finally decided to cooperate. Gee, thanks. Good timing.
- Just before the Finish Line, my kids joined me and crossed the line with me. So cool! They did that for me last year, too.
- I sat on the grass, took off my shoes, and then got talked into having the Medics take off my sock
- I missed April's finish because I was on the Medic table getting my toes irrigated and taped
- Enjoyed the grass and shade for a bit before heading home
- Had two kids bawling in the truck on I-15 because they missed their dad
- Took Jaycob to Great Cuts to have them FIX what I did to his hair on Tuesday night with the kitchen scissors
- Went to the store and bought 6 bags of chips. They were Buy-One-Get-One-Free. Stop judging.
- Went to Dairy Queen and bought Blizzards for tonight. Go ahead - you can judge that one.
- Finally made it home and glued my ass to the couch
- After spending 25 minutes arguing over who does the front and who does the back, the kids mowed the yard (I will take a picture from upstairs in the morning. They did a great job.)
- I took a 2 hour nap (one of my favorite parts of today).
- The kids made me dinner, and it was delicious!
- I finally took a shower at 7:30pm. I don't care whether you judge that one or not.
- And, now, I am half asleep, typing this post that doesn't really mean much, and eating my Strawberry Golden Oreo Blizzard.
- And, later....the kids and I are having a slumber party
Happy Traks!!
P.S. I will NOT be running tomorrow, in case you were wondering.
You are a trooper Emily. That still doesn't sound fun to me...at all. But maybe one day I'll catch the bug.
ReplyDeleteThat's a cute picture finishing with your kids. They are adorable.
