Aches and Pains

I have slept awful for the last week. Between the dog and my daughter I have not had a solid 8 hrs. In addition, I am sore. Not so much in my legs from running - though my calves are mooing; its more in the neck and shoulders - like I was sleeping wrong or stressed... Boy I could use a massage.

I walked the dog at 5:00 am. I was awakened by a horrible smell and thought that Daisy had left a mess, but then figured I better not tempt fate when I didn't find anything. She did her business outside and I enjoyed the fact that it was 38 degrees on a January morning. I don't like to wish my life away, but I do wish it was March. I HATE WINTER and this week has been a big tease. All the melting, smells of spring. My mom is leaving for Hawaii next week for 3 weeks. Oh how I wish I could crawl in her suitcase and go. I know that winter will be back soon with a vengence. We've got a long 8 weeks ahead of us.

Today is my day to regroup. I have laundry to do, groceries to buy, and bathrooms to clean. I want to have my run bag packed and my clothes layed out. Ten miles in the morning and it is supposed to be raining - a wind swept rain according to Channel 5. Delightful. On a truly delightful note, I have met my fundraising minimum so the pressure is OFF! I am so happy to have that aspect of my marathon adventure behind me! Now as long as I don't get injured, I'll be good to go.
