Much better run today. Between finishing two books last night and my run this morning I have been able to get rid of the tension from last night's run.

Left foot was a little sore last night, so I iced it and then this morning wrapped the foot and am icing it again. I think I will avoid the FiveFingers for a while in case they are the culprit.

My throat started hurting a lot this afternoon. I hope I am not getting sick. :(

My throat hurts. My nutrition is hanging in there. If I am not 100% are you cancelling on me?

Yeah - what Marion said.

I finished the Complete Movie Guide to Twilight and a book based on the BONES tv series.

Oh - the puppy has a name - she will be called Twilight. :)

So, is the movie just about the first book, or do I need to hurry and read the rest?

Cute puppy! And Happy Birthday tomorrow. But i will say that again tomorrow!

Kelli - the movie covers the first book - so you are good with reading only that one.

Thanks for the birthday wishes!
