When it comes down to sleeping or blogging, sleeping is [almost] always going to win. Last night I worked late, packed late, ran late (but at a happy pace), ate late, but finally went to bed on time!
This morning, I hopped on out of bed at 4 AM to catch my 6:15 flight. That’s also when I realized John’s roommate’s dogs ate my bread so I grabbed a bagel on the way to my gate. The cream cheese was SO GROSS and like frosting! Nothing against frosting, but at 5:30 AM? No.
With 20 minutes between flights, I grabbed a turkey sandwich at Au Bon Pain that was just okay. My appetite gets so confused when I travel.
After a lovely welcome of 60* weather, sunshine (VERY unusual for early March in Rochester) , and my mom, I immediately headed out on a hilly run. The initial 9 minute mile pace went to all heck after a huge hill. My left calf tensed up worse than ever before and caused shooting, prickling pain up my leg. Always on the injury defensive. I walked/slow jogged home. All in all, 4 miles in 45 minutes isn’t a bad workout at all, and lots of stretching later, it’s feeling okay.
Post-run salad with mozz. My mom makes the best salad, I must learn.
Here are some signs that it’s family holiday time:
So very excited for a weekend of family, friends, running, parades, food, and what looks like is going to be good weather.
And this guy- McShultz! He has a shamrock shaped spot on his butt! I’ll get a picture eventually but right now he is too hyper to get a good one.

I hate running hills… yet I love them. In PIttsburgh I don’t really have much choice, though. And I’m really looking forward to seeing the dog’s shamrock butt! So funny!
