PSA and WTF?

To the person who found my blog by googling  "is it okay to have a centipede in my" :

Seriously?

I can't think of any situation in which it would be 'okay' to have one of these in, near, around, or close by anything remotely involving yourself.

The fact that you have to ask is worrisome. 

So to be clear: No. No it is not okay to have a centipede in your........anything.

Thanks for reading.

Just another post about running

I had to work for today's 3 miles.

My legs were tired from yesterday (I'm not used to running back to back days).
I started late - I work in the mornings now, so didn't run till after 10.
It was hot.
I was thirsty.

And the wind. The WIND!

When I undid my ponytail and took this picture, I could smell my hair, and not in a good way.

I ran in my new compression socks from here, and I love them. Going to be incorporating them into my running and recovery regularly. I aim to prove that pink makes you run faster. :)

You are welcome.

Some runs feel effortless and some feel like a slow death. Today's was somewhere in between. Nevertheless, the miles are done!  I've got socks on my feet, lunch on my mind, and a couple hours to wash my hair before I head to the gym for a fitness assessment and strength class.

Oh, that should be real fun.

Today is a good day.

We are finding our way over here......all that crap about grief and taking it a day at a time......it's all true.

Today we are working, running, going to the bank, paying rent, making soup.

And probably taking Brant to the doc-in-a box after work tonight for some cough syrup/miracle cure for the crud he has been stricken with. All that crap about men getting sick and they way they act.....also true.

I am obsessed with cottage cheese and black grapes.

Leftover chicken curry for lunch. 

Lucy is adjusting to being the only dog.

Lucy and I have a complicated relationship.

But we are starting to become friends. I think.

Either way, we are in this together. 

So I vote 'friends'.
