Happy Valentine's Day!

Here's my reasons for my goose egg today:

1. Resting my hip & other aches & pains

2. Want to be "fresh" on my runs the next 2 days

3. Stayed up too late last night

4. I'm lazy

5. To steal from Jody- no new episodes of The Office

6. Giant chocolate chip cookies don't make for good running fuel

Ok- really the first 3 reasons will suffice...

I will do some light toning today and perhaps a walk. Then back to the grind tomorrow!

Today will be filled with elementary school Valentine's Day Parties and entirely too much sugar! My 5th grade son is having an etiquette "dance", they had to get all dressed up to go to school. Should be a hoot!

CHANGE OF HEART... after reading some blogs and getting inspired, I decided I should show myself some love today- after all its Valentine's! I'm going to plan on getting in a couple miles while waiting for kids during some of their activities this afternoon. I'll make them slow, easy, "body be good" miles....

What I do for my back when it does that is scrapping on that side of my back side. Back extentions really help prevent the problem as well as stretching. You can give me a call and I can go into more detail 801-830-3598. If the problem get really bad I would recomend finding a good Chiropractor.

Like the "body be good miles" describes what we all want from recovery runs. Chocolate Chip cookies don't make good running fuel? Wow, me and the cookie monster are in trouble.

Stay Kool, Body be Good, B of BS Rools out

Hey, good for you! It's funny how excuses melt away when you see what everyone else is doing. That's what happened to me that one diabolical day when I was throwing a fit and you got out and ran. :)

Hubby gone? Oh man! But the great thing about being married is that you can postpone the holiday until a more convenient time and actually get a seat in a restaurant in under 2 hours! Hope you have a great Valentine's day very soon and that it is the BEST EVER!
