I forgot to set my alarm this morning (though I did get up before 5 and am on time for work).  Needless to say, I'll have to do my running tonight instead of this morning.  Not that big of a deal.

But, my exciting news... I registered for my half.  It's a different half marathon then I had originally planned.  Instead of running on April 18th, I'll be running on May 2nd.  Brandon and I had been looking at the calendar and realized that I wouldn't have any time to recover from my wisdom teeth being pulled (this Thursday) before the race.  If something were to go wrong with my recovery, I'd be in a bad place.  This is much better!  I'm stoked!  It will probably be my last race of the season... we shall see.

After work, I took Melanie on a 1.5 mile walk while I delivered some things to a few of the scouts in our ward.  Melanie wasn't feeling too good after her shots and I thought the fresh air would do her good.  She was pretty happy... but it may have been the fact that she was eating a yummy granola bar.

Then, after dinner and Melanie was put down, I went out for an 8 miler.  It was really nice out!  I really enjoyed myself.  I didn't have to stop at a stop light until I was at mile 5 and then not again until mile 7.  I was lucky, because I did pass several street lights, but it just so happened that they were green when I approached them (sweet!)

I hope everyone is having a good monday!

I got up with the alarm at 4 this morning planning to go on a 5 mile run.  At a mile and a half away from my house, I had this overwhelming feeling that I should continue the direction I was going, so I turned back.  3 miles was a good distance this morning though, because it turns out, I was super tired (imagine that... being tired at 4 in the morning). :o)
