three things thursday

1. I am no longer young enough to stay up past midnight 2 days in a row, have cheese and cupcakes for dinner, drink 5 beers in 4 hours and then expect to run a track workout 36 hours later without my heart trying to explode out of my chest.  Fact.  


2. All the rest is great for everything except my piriformis, which has been hurting significantly more often and more painfully this week than it has since December.  Also, I'm starting to get a taste of what taper is going to be like, and let me tell you now, y'all better just hide or suffer the wrath.  What am I going to do with all this energy?  I feel rested and bouncy and itching to do, well, ANYthing to burn it all off.  But at least my house is clean.


3. My girls are all back home in their various corners of the country.  It was so great to have them all here, and I'm still recovering.  We cooked:


Ate out:


Stayed in:

Took the pups to the park:
And it was really awful to have to say goodbye.
Come back soon.  The puppies need you.  Aaaaaaand I just noticed you can see through my shirt.  Must've been a fun day at work for everyone.


Also, I found this shot on the camera when I downloaded the pictures.  Thanks, the poet.
