It turns out trying to sleep all day for 36 hours is really boring.

Pretty ripping sore throat woke me up middle of the night, has not responded to ibuprofen, and I just took another 400 mg after taking some around midnight. Trying to decide if I go back to bed and go to urgent care in 3 hours to get a strep test or if I go for my run and THEN …

Last night: so hot in my house I had to barricade my bedroom door to make sure the ac in the bedroom worked enough that I could sleep with minimal sweating Tonight: all fans and ac off, bundled under my blankets.

Being absolutely reckless and currently have a second, better looking place booked for the race - on the SAME block as the one we are currently booked at - for $200 less bc out of curiosity I went and looked at what was still available.

ice cream for lunch again, my dudes. tomorrow's 12 miles won't run themselves. (this is not the ideal carb load strategy, but i refuse to feel bad about it.)

Another five miles fueled by rage, which means I came in at my fastest average pace in the last month. This is not great for marathon training (possible to overtrain and be TOO tired for my long run tomorrow) but good for my mood rn. I needed it.

Extended the rental car for two days after talking to Pete last night. We have two unscheduled nights between Skye and Edinburgh, and we agreed it would be nice to spend them both in one spot, rather than trying to cram in more. So now to decide where between Fort William and EDI airport ...

Envious of remote start people for one thing and it’s the ability to cool down your car on a 90+ degree day so it’s not 130 inside when you get in it.

usps deactivated my account due to lack of activity (???) and then when i registered for a new one, it says the service is down. they are hell bent on making me WALK INTO the post office to schedule my mail to be held jfc.

Calculating my ideal carb intake for pre-race carb loading, and I'm sorry but ~800g is SO much fucking eating. Here are estimates for some of the things I've eaten recently: Mini can of coke: 25g Pretzels: 26g Rice Krispies: 36g (not incl oat milk) Honey nut cheerios: 30g Juice: 30g Run gel: 40g

A not insignificant portion of my job is spend reading company operating agreements, and it really is the worst part of the job.

Mile 700 for the year and just TWO seconds off my first sub-9:00 of the year lol fml

My IG feeds are just wall to wall Dolly Parton posts. As is good and correct.

7pm time for bed.

Only 17 emails to action in my work email, the next person to email me will rue the day.

I suppose you could say we have a few tomatoes.

Gdi where is my fog????

I will hit 700 miles for the year sometime on my Wednesday run.

Sleeping in all the way to 5:45 tomorrow 🫠

That afterglow feeling of having seen one of your favorite musicians. God damn.

friend of mine in davis had her own run in with turkeys today on her run. "Why are they silent until suddenly GOBBLE" lmao.

Very nearly had to fight (and get my ass kicked by) three young turkey toms that came gobbling out of someone’s yard to menace me during my run, in a place where I have NEVER run into turkeys in 12 years of running that loop.

love too be very hungry but have zero appetite. marathon training is so fun for this.

Nothing makes me feel more like a dumpy little pony than when I am standing next to my boss, who is 6'1" without heels and always just ... effortlessly put together. Maybe she will tell me the secrets of how to Girl when I hit my 10-year anniversary.

it has been MONTHS but today I can finally view all my followers so I was able to clear out some spammy follows finally. Bizarre that even after you block an account it still counts as following you.

ok it is time for a burger, and since it has been a few years since i thought i could do it, i might try a double.

Nothing like trying to research a new rain jacket for my trip, and seeing 30+ reviews that the definitely waterproof rain jacket is not waterproof at all.
