National Public Sleeping Day? I can get behind that. I have a blankey in my office

Lizzie, I doubt the murder was random. It happened in a somewhat isolated section of a quiet neighborhood. She was parked somewhere where there are no houses. Unless someone was having a huge Tuesday night party, there just isn't a reason to be stopped there at midnight.

Docket, my guess is she thought she was meeting someone there. Odd location to chose.

ETA, just saw a news story. While they don't know if it's related, the victim was arrested last week. She slashed a female across the face with a knife over a guy.

Good morning! I have some miles on the schedule this morning. It says 10, but 8 of them are 2 at HMP with 3 minutes easy in between, so if I add in those 3 minute intervals it will probably be closer to 11. Longest and hardest run this week. Apparently a cold front came through and stalled over Houston but luckily we are on the cold side, so it's low 50s all day. Just a bit to the east it's 70s and foggy and humid. I think I'm going to head to a park to do my run, so waiting for school traffic to die down then will head out. Plus it's just down the road from the post office, so I will finally stop there and mail my mom my old phone. I was a little stiff and sore this morning - why does that seem to happen more on an easy/cutback week than a tough week?

Kathryn, sorry you came back to a sucky work environment. Hopefully things will resolve and be better. Yay for getting out the door for a few miles!!

Cathy, glad you and your friend have each other to talk to about home issues. It does help to get it out.

HCK, yikes on the murder!

Liz, rest days are mentally hard. Then again, I just looked at the next few weeks on my plan and I after this week I have only one XT day with no running and one rest day until I start tapering. Yikes.

Damaris, I saw the link to your RR on fb so just read it. I enjoyed reading it, sounds like you guys had a lot of fun.

Susan, your boss drama is just never ending! Maybe tell her it would have gone better if you didn't have to read her stupid script but instead talked like a normal person.

Man, I kept thinking that yesterday was Thursday!    6 easy miles for me on the TM this morning.  Nice and relaxing.    Younger DD was awake at 5 AM this morning, she was nervous about her Battle of the Books competition today.  Her team has won the last 2 years, so they are the defending champions.  She has been so nervous about it!  So I am nervous too.    It started at 9:00, and if she makes it to the finals then the final match will be at 3:00 in front of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders.  A friend is putting updates on FB.  

Lizzie, sometimes I have considered bringing a blanket to work.  Or my Huggle.    I have a heater so that usually is OK.  Enjoy the rest!  I am pretty sure that I am not running outside this weekend!  February was particularly brutal this year.  The most I have run on the TM ever.  I am blaming Sandy, haha.

Kupcakes, scary about the murder.  We had one down the block from us, domestic situation.  Haha, it is a good thing I run in the early morning, I would not be able to run past pizza places, etc while the smells are wafting out.    Nice workout last night!

Damaris, enjoy the 11!  Haha, sounds like my kind of race recap.  

Karen, that sounds like a tough workout!  No doubt that you will kill it.  Also sounds like nice running weather!

Cathy

I scheduled my CAPM test retake for Monday. I went over some of the material yesterday and took a practice test this morning to test myself – 83!! WOOT!! I didn’t even get that high before the heart attack. Haha – nice little confidence boost before the test! I hope I pass the real one!

Docket – Enjoyed reading your race report! I feel like you know everyone! You see someone you know everywhere you go!  Sorry for the sleep and foot troubles! Not sure how you did all that running and park hopping on such little sleep! Hope your foot is feeling a bit better now! You and your BFF should do that every year  Sounds like a lot of fun!

Run4kupcakes – Uh oh. I may have laughed a little.

Susan – Smart to rest! I hate your boss.

Karen – Hope you had a great run in awesome temperatures   I feel the same on lower mileage weeks – like everything is sore and I hurt. Why does that happen!? Weird. Only 2 rest days after this week? AHH. I don’t know how you do it. Its like..you are superhuman   I believe it though.

Judy – Nice run this morning. Yum, dinner sounds good. My mom used to make pork chop all the time when I was a kid..now I can’t eat it.

Cathy – I kept thinking yesterday was Thursday, too! This week has been lasting forever. Actually, February has been lasting forever. I am ready for it to be over. Nice run for you this morning! Good luck to DD!! Let us know how she does! She should have done had some time with Jeff to calm down  So crazy how you and Sandy had one of your worst Winter’s and we had one of our warmest. Global warming I guess.

Tessa – Good to hear from you! Hopefully things calm down for you soon!

Have a good afternoon everyone! I am out of here. Heading to the cardiologist..never thought I would say that at 32.

GatsbyBird, please let us know how you are doing from time to time? Hope work gets better. Maybe spending time with your birds will help? We will miss you and hope you can come back soon.
