The last 24 hours have been absolute bliss. After 20 days of travel I was craving a relaxing weekend. I can barely believe that I’ve run in Dallas, Houston, Portland, Seattle, and San Francisco in the last 3 weeks!
Last night we enjoyed sushi, caught up on our favorite television shows, and fell asleep at an unbelievably early hour! Our DVR favorites include Parenthood, Modern Family, Boardwalk Empire, Mad Men, and Grey’s Anatomy. Are we missing out on anything new? I may have also indulged in an at-home facial. It was a lovely, perfect Friday night!
We couldn’t believe our eyes when we woke up this morning. It was 11:30am! Clearly, our bodies needed the sleep because neither of us budged during the 12 hours of sleep. I can’t believe that I’ve slept past 11am two Saturdays in a row. WHO AM I?!
We weren’t ready to get anywhere quickly today so instead, we spent a few hours eating lunch, cleaning the house, and watching a few shows. One of our best friend’s sisters was on this week’s CSI so we had to watch it! Congrats Laura!!
Lunch was a delicious salad, filled with more vegetables than I could finish! What is your favorite salad combination? Mine is definitely Greek!
This salad was overflowing with red onions, chick peas, feta, tomatoes, cucumbers, and romaine lettuce! Delicious and exactly what my body was craving!
We headed up to the NYRR office to pick our bibs for tomorrow’s Staten Island Half Marathon.
After a long discussion Thursday night, we decided to do our 20 miler on Sunday instead of Saturday due to both of our exhaustion levels. In the end, I think we made the right decision. We will have the chance to run the Staten Island Half which is supposed to be absolutely gorgeous and decently half compared to the 18 miler we did 3 weeks ago.
In addition, Melissa and I are going to run together which means I can hear ALL about her NYC Marathon experiences. It’s all becoming real now that we’re less than 30 days away! Thinking about Theodora, Meghann, Leslie, and Kelly during my 20 miler will be perfect motivation! Good luck tomorrow ladies in the Chicago Marathon!!
Why is this post titled Woops, you ask? Well, I recently received this exciting package in the mail while I was in San Francisco! It’s official! I’ve read the marathon guide backwards and forwards over the past 24 hours. I’ve tried on the cool t-shirt and started to get butterflies in my stomach.
