Is it normal for your cat to judge you?

Wednesday came, and it was time for me to head back home to Mississippi. My sweet Daddy got up and made me some delicious biscuits and sausage gravy for breakfast so I could get my grub on one last time before having to cook (aka microwave) for myself again. 

Do you really think that sounds good Momma?

After breakfast I hit the road and enjoyed jamming out to the 90s pop station on Pandora, man those songs bring back memories. I couldn't get a picture of Daisy judging my singing skills since I was driving, but here is a taste of the looks I kept getting every time I belted out to Britney or Christina (don't judge)!

I'm going to kill you if you keep singing!

 On Thursday I headed to the grocery store because my fridge and pantry were looking pretty bare. I really enjoy grocery shopping and taking my time seeing what's new and analyzing each and every food I put in my cart. People, unfortunately, make this hard since I always feel like I am in someone's way. I feel like there is no longer a time I can go to the store and it be empty. Anyone else have that problem? Or does your grocery store actually make the aisles big enough for more than one person in the aisle at a time? 

 
Resting my foot is going okay, I am managing to stay off of it for the most part. When I do need to get up and walk on it, these lovely Georgia slippers take almost all of the pain away. I wonder if people would look at me funny if I tried to run the half marathon in them.





 






Side note from today's lunch...if you have never tried eating cottage cheese and cucumbers together, do it now! (That is pepper added on top) This is one of the best ideas I have had and now it will be a new craving for at least the next few weeks. 

Runner's High Hangover

I'm sure you have heard it before: what goes up, must come down and that is exactly what I have been going through the last few days. I was riding an awesome runner's high from Saturday's race and then from my 13.5 mile run on Sunday. Unfortunately, I overdid it with all the running and spent all day Monday on the couch trying to rehab my sore foot.

Tuesday was spent driving the 4 hours back home, napping, unpacking, then repacking for my trip the following day. Wednesday I got up at 5am and headed out for my 5 hour drive to visit with the parentals for a little while. Still suffering from the inflamed tendon in my foot, I spent the last 2 days sitting around a lot and icing my foot.

This morning I decided to do a very short run to test out the foot to see if I could run the 5k race taking place tomorrow, since I already paid for it. I made it 1.3 miles before my foot started bothering me and walked the .2 miles back to the house, all the while the pain in my foot becoming worse. However, once I got back and took my shoe off the ache almost completely went away. I'm not sure what the means for the race tomorrow. I'm hoping I can run it and not do any more damage to my foot so I will still be able to run my half marathon in October.

On a happier note, I am getting tons of entertainment from watching Daisy bond with my parent's animals, Samson and Mortimer. Animals are so funny and provide endless amounts of enjoyment!


 This is sweet baby Mortimer, who is highly enjoying hissing, swatting, and chasing Daisy.

Oh and despite my reduction in activity I am happy to report that it has not decreased my desire for the endless amount of sweets throughout my parents house.








This is what is left of the pumpkin bread my Dad and I have devoured over the last 2 days...yummy!
