Day 44

I made it to the end of the day and gosh darn it, I am going to post before going to bed!

I woke up this morning and once again, Andy was instrumental in getting me out the door to run our 4 miles. At first I really wasn't feeling it - I went without my iPod, I felt out of breath more than I thought I should have been, and worst of all... my hip/butt zone was still sore from the 12 miler, and every time I took a step with my left foot it felt like someone was delivering a hard jab to my left butt cheek. Not cool. But after awhile the magic of running kicked in - I started breathing easier, my butt muscles relaxed (ok that sounds really weird), and I got faster and felt stronger. All in all I averaged a 9:42 pace and once again had negative splits. Not too shabby!

Then it was off to work, and with today being "Two Job Tuesday," I was less than thrilled. Honestly though, it wasn't so bad. There was barely anyone in the office today, so those that were left had fun goofing off - this included making up a tap dance routine and sharing the joys of "Honey Boo Boo Child" thanks to the power of YouTube. Job number two went by fast, but a lot of that was probably because I was in such a good mood - that was my last shift before being off for three weeks!!!! *choir of angels sing*

By the time I was leaving job number two, it was dark and Katie didn't want to ride her bike home. GOOD GIRL KATIE!!! Safety first! I tried to give her a ride....

Houston, we have a problem.

... but my trunk did not have enough room for her junk, er uh, bike. Thankfully lots of wonderful people work there and someone with a more suitable car took her home. :-)

And now, I need to go to bed, but Andy has turned the bedroom into "Grand Central Packing Station." Maybe I should go turn on the next episode of Downton Abbey??? Haha.

Total Miles Run: 123.28
Total Weight Change: -2.1 (I am feeling confident the number will be on the plus side soon... good thing I'm going home in a few days - it is always easier to be healthy on the Best Coast)
