"Nailed It"
I dreamt I was Britney Spears …
… and I was playing a concert in Chicago. A package of makeup I had ordered was delivered to my dressing room. Peach-colored lipstick that you apply with a brush like nail polish. I looked at the price, and it was only $1.35. The shipping was $15.95. I was so mad!! Looked at the return address, and the company was in Chicago, so I decided to go see them...

Let’s ignore the fact that I had a hangover and was dehydrated. Let’s also ignore the pounding headache at every exertion. We’re also ignoring that I ripped my hand on the pull-ups and the fact that my left arm hurts. Oh, and I got about 2...

Good Morning
I calculated the number of calories in the “Paleo Granola Bars” with the pretty pictures I keep seeing.
IF it makes 24 (I had to guess, it doesn’t say), they are 290.

So I got some new kicks while in Indy, and I’ve been itching to try them out (Nike LunarSpeed+):
My mom came and picked up the puker and took him to TKD (poor dude, sick again today), so I have 1.5 hrs to do what I want!
After swooning, swooning, swooning and swooning some more, I decided to take them out for a test drive.
Went outside and stood on the porch. Syncing the Garmin, look...

Running: Indy Mini 05.04.2013
My splits from Saturday. It’s neat to see the track on the Garmin stats! It was from miles 6-8 I believe.
Walked through 5 water stops for about 10-30 sec each. Knew I wouldn’t PR because of lack of training and a gazillion people, so I didn’t try to keep pushing too hard. Goal was just to keep running, and I did!
This is a really great race, and I’d highly...
