I signed up, Officially, for the marathon two days ago. I've been training for about three months. But I waited to sign up until I could be certain the minor injuries would subside. They have/are. So game on! Last week I had my Kelly Day and used every day to my advantage. I slept, ate well, and nailed everyone of my workouts. Over the weekend I got my long run in, cleaned the gutters, weeded the forest that is my garden, and spread 7 yards of bark dust. We made a few trips to the dog park too as that is Emma's preferred method of exercise these days. No, I am not experiencing a manic phase...I'm just going to be very busy with peak training and some overtime for work coinciding. I thought I better get some stuff done around the house so I can remember actually accomplishing something at home. My Mom, sister, and Todd coming for Christmas may have played a small role in my renewed interest in finishing the house projects as well. ;]
I bought paint to finish the hallway (been sitting half painted for a year now.)
When I looked at the YOLO Paint display at the Kelly Moore Paint Store...who was staring back at me but the D-Doe proudly posing on her favorite sofa. Apparently the photo shoot they did last year went well and now little Zoe is proudly representing Yolo Paints. Her career in modeling is up and running. If I can maintain the same form, "Up and running," for the marathon...I will be more than pleased.
