Since I have been resigned to Couch Potato and not Crazy Runner the last few weeks, and have managed to gain back every single pound that took me 6 months to lose (seriously, what the crap?!), I've been a little down. OK, a lot down. Is it normal that I'm majorly depressed about my lack of miles this week? Because I really am. Depressed. (I do however have an appointment on Monday to see a sports injury therapist--recomended by my former triathlon coach, so, I'm praying that by Monday night, I'll be 100% better. Yes, I expect instant miracles.)
But, even in my state and whining and complaining, there's a little gem at my house to make it all better (and slowly healing the hole in my heart for my Hanna Banana).
Ella Mae.
The most spaztastic, insane, hilarious beagle ever.
Her newest obsession? Tennis balls. They've managed to lose 2 and there is a 3rd, but, I keep it hidden since the whole point of the tennis balls was to roll out my calves. She saw it sticking out of my purse yesterday, and I swear, her eyes tripled in size.
"Ohhh, me see bright yellow fuzz. Ohhhh, me see tennis ball. Ohhh, me climb on coffee table when Mom not looking and steal tennis ball.... Wait for it.... Ah! Victory.... Crap. I'z caught."
(yes, found the beagle on the coffee table, with her little head in my purse)
I ask you, how can you not laugh at this?
(I should mention that it would be much better if the photo wasn't so grainy--she's actually bearing her sad little beagle teeth! But, it's hard to capture a picture of a very spazzy rolly polly beagle.)"If I hide, you can't put me in my crate, or lock me in the office with brother."
"Crap. How'd ya find me? That's OK, joke on you sister--me and brother--we're ordering pizza! Dat's what you get for locking us in room with phone."
(yes, last week we came home and found the phone upstairs. The hubs is sure they were trying to order pizza. Even better? She now brings us the phone--just to, you know, encourage us.)

That's so cute! It's great how dogs can inject whimsy and joy into our lives!
And it's good you're not pushing yourself. I pulled my calf a few weeks ago and couldn't run for a week--I only fixed it that fast by icing it three times a day for 30 minutes and wearing arch supportive flip-flops--even to work.
And thanks for the sweet comments at Pretty's! One of these days, I want to just drive around visiting my Invisible Friends! But when you're in the media, the bastards don't give you harldy any vacation--10 days a year plus two personal days!
I suppose I could always be sick... :)
Hope you feel better soon honey!
