So, I don't have much to muse about this morning, as my weekend was pretty damn uneventful.
The 20 miler that wasn't 20 miles (ahem, 18.31, let's not get into it) nearly killed me, so, I spent Saturday on the sofa in lots of pain--so much that I couldn't even make it to the grocery store. Awesome (feel much better today though). (why am I running a marathon? Does anyone remember?)
And yesterday was a TV marathon as I was too exhausted to do anything else. Oh, and I snuggled with Ella. Because she wouldn't leave my side all day. Too cute.
While going over final marathon prep in my mind and discussing with the husband how excited I am about the Catalina marathon in March, I started looking at the calendar to put together my training plan for Catalina, because you know, I need a plan otherwise it is realistic that I will sit on my booty until March.
Tulsa is November 22nd. Catalina is March 13. Guess what? They're exactly 16 weeks apart. Most marathon training plans are 16 weeks. Which means, no down time. Somehow I was thinking March was further away than that....? Awesome.
So, this is either sheer genius, or the stupidest thing ever. I'm 50/50 at this point.
On the upside, ths hubs and I tried to go to a movie on Saturday night (sold out! boo!), which meant that I got to run into Anthro for a quick minute--which turned into like 500 hours because I was on a mission people. Guess what? I found my top! I found it! Yippee!! So, I'm 100% totally and completely broke now, but, whatever--I look cute today. It's worth it. I think.
Happy Monday y'all!
PS. I'm a rebel, I didn't do my homework for class tonight. It's like I'm an undergrad all over again. Whoops.

Oh, I'm an idiot! Can't believe I didn't see the top at NP while I was there :) I agree with Dollface, post pics please!
Dude, 18.31 miles is unbelievable!! I am so proud of you :)
Catalina Marathon as in Catalina Island? That's one of my favorite places, awesome!
And good job on 18.31 miles! That's 15.31 more than I've ever run. haha
Lovvve that top, so glad you found it! Now you've got me wanting to browse Anthro online...must resist!
That's perfect ... ever since my first marathon, I've basically been in training for another one non-stop, which has really helped to maintain fitness.
One thing, though ... you might want to look at a 12-week plan to give yourself four weeks to recover. You'll be in shape, and by not pushing it while you're recovering, you'll avoid an injury. Keep rolling with some moderate work during those four weeks, but you'll be in marathon shape and fully recovered ... a 12-week plan should be fine.
Nice job on long run, BTW!
Sometimes a girl just needs a TV marathon! Love the top!
Great job on the running, so proud of you!`
I heart that top! (and I'm DYING laughing right now about your church-lady-flappy-arm-analogy - even though you totally don't have flappy arms).
Hi your Highness. What's happened to your legs with your training? bigger or smaller?
Monday's are over-rated :) Feel better...ouchies
Love the top! I can't even bring myself to go into Anthro yet this season. With TX having a taste of the cool weather then seeing all the cute new autumn clothes, I know I would just go crazy in there spending like a mad woman!
