Best Day…Sort Of, Maybe, Close…
We have to tell you that today was a favorite day ever! Jazz hands.
Well, maybe not ever but it was certainly close. We didn’t have to work today (thank you Mr. President) so we were able to fill our day with a mix of must-do’s and don’t care-do’s. Really, what more could you ask for?
To start….
We slept in this morning for the first time in a long time…. praise Jesus. We were apparently worn out from all the excitement in Steamboat and needed to re-set our body. 10 hours of glorious beauty sleep.
Anyways, the next best thing to sleep, breakfast. We luv us some breakfast. Bet you can’t guess what we ate? Darn, your good…. yup, scrambled eggs, toast with strawberry jelly, and a big ol’ cup of coffee. It was savory.
Even though we wished we could have spent the whole day on the couch watching Food Network in our p. j.’s while eating Nutella from a jar, we did have some cleaning up to do. You know, laundry, dusting, vacuuming, blah, blah, stuff that we need to hire someone else to do.
We will say that it went by rather quickly because the next thing we knew, it was time to put our running shoes on and head out the door. We had to run 16 miles today according to ol’ Hal. We couldn’t have asked for a better day weather wise, sunny, 45 degrees with a slight breeze. This is the weather you dream about running in.
The run went surprisingly well, although there were a couple of moments were we asked myself:
Self: “Why are doing this? Why even bother? Why are you so slow? You could stop right now, have a savory hamburger with a chocolate milkshake and all the pain would disappear.”
We eventually put evil Lauren runner aside and focused on breathing, stretching out, and relaxing. It took every ounce of us to finish, but we did! (Note: extremely slow time, don’t judge.)
After our run we iced, rolled, and stretched. We still can’t believe we ran that far. We guess the only thing this means, race day is getting closer……AHHHH!! With our biggest to-do done for the day it was time to have fun. To us, there is nothing better then getting dirty in the kitchen. No, not that kind of dirty…seriously, where is your head? We tried out some new recipes for Foodie Fridays and even made up a few of our own. Can’t wait to share! Now, we are sitting on the couch with Mr. B eating dinner reflecting on our fantastic day. Why can’t all days be like this? Hope you had a good President’s Day!
