I definitly needed a day of relaxation and Friday was my day. It hit me like a ton of bricks. Last night, after a few hours at the pool, a 4+ mile run and weights, I zonked out like nobody's business. Some people wouldn't call running and weight lifting a day of relaxation but the pool was the main part of relaxing and having a good time. Alex and I shared some sushi, chips and guac, and fun in the sun.
Today, I woke up to more dirty stuff.... I walked outside my house on my way to work and a bird decided to do a little business and I walked into it. THANKFULLY it was just on my shirt a tad and mostly on my gym shoe. Phew! A close call if you can call it that.

Practice for being an aunt
Well... if last night was any idea of what it is going to be like to be an aunt and for Daniel to be an uncle, I think we are pretty much going to be a ok. Here is the story behind my thinking.. note... if you are squemish.. dont read further.
So last night I was praising 8 piece for being good and not but 10 minutes later I smelled this horrible smell. I knew that something was wrong. The culpret.. 8 piece.
He had went to the restroom and then wiped it all over my drier, then the carpet, and of course still on himself. Daniel and I tag teamed him and I had to give him a bath it was so bad. It was major teamwork, stinky, but poor kitty.
This I feel will help us with tag teaming little Ms. Myers when the time comes.

Life Changes
So... yesterday I went out to dinner with Alex and had some really good girl time. We had a good time chatting and when I surprised her with her bday gift, she about died of excitement over the straws. She loooovvveesss straws. It was so cute to see her excitement over something that others take for granite.
On another note, today I got super nervous. You see... this summer is packed with so many people having babies and today was the day that the first of the many went into labor. What a life changing experience. I just got butterflies for the couple, along with being nervous, and excited at the same time for them. I know they will be exceptional parents and I am very happy for them. No word on if its a boy or a girl but either way, it doesn't matter.

patience
I have learned a lot since April. I thought I was a patient person and I am most days but in all reality, sometimes I just wish things would go faster. Since April 10th, my right leg has "let me down" when it comes to running. I completed the sprint triathlon the following month only to know the pain that my leg would be in following the event. Since May 2nd, there has be absolutly zero running. Not eve a tenth of a mile. I have been icing, foam rolling, and pt to my body. This week was my starter week. I felt much better and wanted to test the waters. I started with a mile run on wednesday and felt so great. I think I was the happiest person in the gym that day. I know my smile showed it. It was slow and I made sure my form was very good. Then yesterday I ran a bit more. I wanted to keep going but I am learning to be patient with myself and not do too much of one thing. I am really excited to start to now look for races in the late summer. I feel like I have turned the corner and now Im ready to start bumping up the workouts.
On another note, this past week has been very busy for me. I thought it was just monday yesterday? Of course it wasnt. Daniel and I spent most of Thursday together and went to this new place to eat for lunch. It is a small shack in gboro and my bbq sandwich was amazing. The french fries were super hot and good and Daniel liked his food too. Then we went to Mexico for dinner. It was the first time we went there. We normally go to another mexican place but decided to try this one out. Note to self... dont mess with a good thing.
Then yesterday I went to Durham to visit Grandma, Tony, and Charity. Grandma made us lunch and also amazing strawberry shortcake. Time flew there! Before I knew it, it was 4pm! Ekk! The traffic is never any good in the evening so I had to scoot out of there. I then headed over to Val's to get some work done and spend some time there before they had dinner.
