Somedays a dollar

I woke up at 3am saturday morning, not really sure how I was really going to run 18, get in an icebath, walk the dog, shower, stretch and be ready to roll to Houston by 7am. I decided when I woke up that somedays are a dollar and somedays 99, I was just going to "do my best and forget the rest". I finished 18 in record time (my personal record), feeling wonderful, and accept for having to pee in someone's front yard along the way(it was very dark so I don't think anyone saw me) nothing major happened to inhibit my ability to finish, I even finished the last two pretty fast. I did stop at the house at 15 1/2 to use the bathroom again, and had a couple of swigs of propel, it did the trick. I threw the leash on the dog, and we walked a short walk, good for my legs. I threw her in the back yard with some food and water, grabbed a bag of ice from the freezer and while the bathtub filled I stretched a little. Then I relaxed in the cold for about ten minutes before turning on the shower and shaving my legs very quickly(another record set). Before I knew it I was all packed and doing yoga on the front porch waiting for everyone to arrive. Of course they were 20min late, and I was a little ticked that I didn't get to spend more time icing. I ended up running around Houston all evening getting kegs and liquor and food and ice for the party, since I was the only sober one around. Around eleven that night I crashed, and sleep never felt so good. This week will be a light week, and then the following week I'll increase again. I was so excited to hear about Amanda's 6 miler, and I can't wait until she blogs it for y'all to read too, its awesome when it all comes together and you know that you are doing exactly what you should be. Keep on keepin' on-LJ
