FRIDAY! RACE DAY IS TOMORROW!

Trainer decided that instead of running, we should take the night off, eat a good dinner and get to bed early.  I'm not going to argue with that!

I BBQ'd hamburgers, fresh sweet corn from our garden, and peaches. For some carbs, I had made Patty's Pasta.  Delicious!!

Then we had to do some last minute shopping for shirts and ribbons. Get everything ready to go for the morning and then off to bed. 6:00am comes early for some us...

Whoops!  Guess my "allergies" were acting up today.  We didn't do any running...

Actually, my trainer ditched me to go to dinner with her co-workers. And I can't run without my trainer, soooooo, I caught up on some Craft Wars - a show I definitely should not be watching. lol.

But, with only 2 days left, it was time to go pick up our race packets. Off I went to InShape to get our race bibs, shirts, sunglasses, paint and tattoos.

We had planned to take a Restorative Yoga class on the last Wednesday before the race.

I pushed myself a little more by doing an hour long cardio/slow burn yoga before the Restorative class.

We're getting so close to Race Day!!!

Soooo, after a few weeks of no running, followed by a weekend of gardening and running, today I was just not feeling it. BUT, we still got up off the couch and went outside.  No running, but we walked the entire length of our route.

Ummm, the top picture does not apply to me. I'm sure I feel and look like the bottom picture.

With less than a week to go, this is it!. The final few days before my Spazz-Spectacular is unleashed on this town. We're really gonna make the effort to run every day this week, with the exception of Wednesday - we're already booked for a nice relaxing restorative yoga class.

Beautiful weather today. A perfect day for getting some major stuff done in the garden. I think we spent about 8 hours weeding, planting, pruning, trellis-ing, and installing (a new drip line for the fruit trees)

That definitely counts as exercise. No run required today.

By the way, we are ONE WEEK AWAY FROM RACE DAY!!

Continuing with the birthday festivities (and my love of Disney), the newest Disney/Pixar film Brave opened tonight.  So we had tickets to go see it after work.
