'Nother Day Off
Yes, we had another snow day today. Those of you in New England or other places that are used to getting a great deal of snow would laugh at us cancelling school. Hey, we're in the Mid-Atlantic, we don't know how to deal with snow. Although I was exhausted last night, I stayed up to see if school was closed on the 11:00 news. No dice. When I woke up this morning, they were nowhere near my district, so I got into the shower. When I got out of the shower, they had just passed it, but I noticed that another local district that never closes was closed. I logged onto the computer, well I had to turn it on and let it boot first, and discovered that there was no school. Arrrgh...2 Tylenol PM let me get back to sleep. I'm not going to complain too much about it, but we could have had a late start today and an early dismissal yesterday. Hopefully this five day weekend will have me refreshed about going to work since my attitude recently has just plain sucked.
8:30 AM my cell is ringing and I am thinking that it is my alarm clock even though I know that I didn't set it when I went back to sleep. I answered it sounding awfully groggy and had J on the other end who could not believe that I was still in bed. Even though he told me yesterday to take today off, he said that I was going to meet him on his lunch to run. He knows me too well, I was going to do a longer run today since there was time.
We ran our river loop which is about 7 miles. It was very easy, he was making fun of me because he knows that I never run that easy. It was really nice to actually get to run with someone else. The only days I do seem to end up being race-like track workouts. That is more the other person's problem than mine, since I ave gotten to the point that this is what I am supposed to be doing and I'm not going to drop the pace by fifteen seconds just to beat you.
After the run I headed over to the gym. I felt guilty that I only ran 7 miles, so I did the ellipitcal machine for half an hour and then rode the bike for another half hour. After that I lifted some, but I had to get out of there since it was almost 3:00 and I'd only had some bread for breakfast before 9:00.
My ankle is feeling better, but the soreness seems to have migrated to the top right side of my right foot. It hurts pretty much where the laces tie on the top of the foot. I've been trying my best to ice it and not irritate it. My adidas trainers seem to bother it the most which is ironic since they were the shoes that hurt my ankle the least.
Gotta go, cooking mac and cheese for my mom to have on hand after here treatments. That is the only food she really wants, so I'm getting some ready for her to have after treatment tomorrow. I can be such a good daughter.

You are a good daughter! I cannot believe you are making mac and cheese from scratch! (I just assume you are or else why would you need so much prep time, right?) That sounds awesome. Hope you enjoyed your day off!
