Early early early this morning (like, before the rooster crows, early) we left for The Las Vegas Birthday Bash.  Ness will be turning 30 in June. We brought clothes and shoes for running, but it didn't happen today. We were too busy checking out the Donny & Marie store in the Flamingo. It's so hard to get Ness away from Dreamboat Donny.  :)

Tonight was my school's carnival. The theme was Surf's Up. I'd spent the last two weeks painting tikis and surfboards to help get decorations ready for the photo booth. So it was now time to see the finished products in action and to make our annual donation to the raffle.

Lo and behold!  I'm a winner!!  After 10 years of raffle tickets, one of our tickets was finally pulled!  $25 to Home Goods (or, thanks to the wonderfully non-working neon lights - Ho Gods)

I will call this a reward for all of the hard hard work I've put into this running.

So day 2 of this headache.  Is it wrong to say that I am actually missing running??  Could I be converting??    Hahahahahaha!!! Don't be fooled, people.  That's just my headache making me delusional.  This headache will pass, and I'll be up and running again soon...maybe I need a Dr. Pepper...

Aaaaaaand again, no running today.  I was down with a nasty headache.  Even went to bed early. Ugh!

No running today. :(

I got tied up at work and didn't get home in time to get in a run before it got dark. With the school year winding down there's a lot of things to finish up at work

Today we changed it up. Instead of running for an hour, we rode our bikes for an hour.  Obviously, the pedometer wasn't going to work so I don't know the distance we traveled. Along the way, I was attacked by a bee and a tree.

This was the first day out of the week that we basically said "F-- It"  We hadn't done much training at all this week and here it is Thursday evening. So tonight we were going to focus on training and not what everyone else needed.

During our route, we were coming to the end of the block. Ahead a guy was walking and turned so that he was travelling the same route as us. He started zig zagging back and forth across the street. I couldn't really see everything he was carrying, I noticed a hiking-type of backpack. But Ness noticed a chainsaw hanging from his hip. He continued zig zagging and we quickly turned the corner. Lol! Yeah, not going to risk running past the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Steps: 6550

Positivity: 60 more days!  (hey, I never ever said that I was good at math.  Let's see if this will correct itself, or just how bad my counting disability really is)

Positivity: Helping a Charity. (Color Me Rad is partnering with CSUB for this run. This is the college that both Ness and I graduated from.)

It was another No Run day.

During the week, our daily run takes us through the neighborhood as we travel over to Oleander St. We go up and down the street looking at the historical houses, reading the plaques, and picking out the things we'd like to add to Amelia (our house's name, you know, like Tara from Gone with the Wind.) Well spring is in the air and the flowers are all blooming like crazy right now.  Ness's allergies kicked in and she was feeling pretty crappy today. So we stayed in and watched New Girl instead.

No run for us today.  Between the garage clean-out on Saturday, and the Goal-Reaching Run yesterday morning, followed by an exciting 75th birthday party that afternoon, we needed a day to recover.

Positivity: Its a Paint-a-thon!

WOO HOO!!!!! Today a goal was reached!!! I ran a full mile!!!

We went out to the Bike Path today after hitting the Farmer's Market and decided to make Sundays a Longer Run Day. No set plan on how long to run, just as long as we both still felt good enough to keep going. After piecing together all of the jogs, it turns out that I ran a full mile!  So now, that's been added to the daily run - running a full mile, walking two miles.

Today I also did not have any caffeine. (Yeah, that means no Dr. Pepper!)  I don't know when my last caffeine-free day was. Next weekend, maybe I'll go two days without a Dr. Pepper.

Saturday morning we got up and did our run before the day started. It was a good thing too! The rest of hte day was spent completely gutting the garage and installing new shelves.  So it was like two workouts in one day!  I deserve a break. Lol
