LMNOP’s of ME!

You can usually assume three things when someone misses a day posting (but not saying any of these are ever true) 1) There is nothing to blog about 2) Things are SO off the chain exciting that the poster just could  not take even a minute to post.  3) The person is done with the blog or taking a break.

Well, in my case yesterday I guess it was #1. I had nothing exciting to post. I skipped my 10 X400’s and said no thank you to my 5 mile alternative. I wasn’t feeling good. Actually I thought maybe I  had the stomach flu for a minute. But I didn’t, still don’t, have it.  So the day came and went and I didn’t so much as break a sweat. I hate rest days. So does the Hubs. I was Queen Grumpy Pants last night. It is ridiculous. I don’t even want to be around myself on rest days.

But today is a new day!! I will be heading to spin in a min and then a nice run afterwards-maybe. AND I have a girls night planned with the Triple Threat girls and a friend from WA who also lives here!! She actually did the Seattle Rock n Roll with me and RED last year AND she is doing it again this year!! She is doing TNT for it too…we should just make our own Seattle RnR TNT training group right here.

Speaking of TNT and ACS….My brother put me over my goal yesterday!!! So of course I upped my goal again! This is so awesome!! The sky is the limit!!!
