Remember that time I ran 4 miles with my ass cheeks hanging out?

Oh wait that was tonight. I wore these tiny compression shorts that worked their way up my legs as a ran. I also had a blue flashing running light clipped to the back of my shorts which really alerted the world to my exposed flesh. 

Regardless of the peep show Freddie and I knocked out 4 miles in 40:54. Stellar run with a negative split ta-boot(y). 

Free Flight

I’m at the airport for hour 3 waiting to get on a flight. My original flight was cancelled, but I was able to get on a later one thankfully that should start boarding soon.

Sitting in the airport sucks, especially with a dog (Freddie is a champ), however I got a free round trip ticket for my trouble. Which means I don’t have to worry about finding money for my plane ticket for the LA Marathon. Yay!!!

Sock Thief

I only have 4 pairs of compression dri-fit running socks (which are fantastic and I highly suggest getting some). Well for the past 6 months or so one pair of socks went MIA. I wasn’t sure if the laundry monster ate them or I left them at my mom’s or a hotel after a race. I had just been thinking about how I need to buy some more running socks, so color me surprised when I see one sock peeking out from my bed (on the side I don’t sleep on). I look under the bed and see my dog sitting in a pile of shorts, underwear and the other sock. THAT THIEF. He had been nesting in them this entire time. He must have knocked the one sock loose today when scooting out from under the bed. Needless to say I’m happy for my 4th pair back as well as the extra nudge I needed to clean under my bed!

Pre-Dawn Run

I went to bed at 10:15 last night then sat up at 1:30am and couldn’t sleep for like an hour. I managed to get back to bed and then got up at 4am got dressed, put on my flasher light, grabbed the dog and picked my ipod playlist. Headed out and my ipod FROZE. I didn’t have the time to screw around with it so I ran sans ipod this morning. I only saw a few cars, but mainly it was silent aside from the buzzing of streetlights, my own breath and the pitter patter of Freddie’s paws.

I HAD to haul ass because I was meeting people at 5:15am. From my observation of the time I’m pretty sure I ran the 4 miles in 39-40 minutes.

I’m so glad I went. I feel good and drove the first 4 hour shift of the drive. I am now sitting shot gun and hoping to squeeze in a nap before we get to baton rouge.

Distance PR

My 7 pound Pomeranian, Freddie, PRed today – he ran 5 miles with me! He may be little, but he is a tough athlete!

In other news my left foot hates me after feeling better all day. I talked to my old trainer at the gym and he said I strained a muscle, he suggested some stretches and to take 2 days off – I’m gonna take off tomorrow and see how I feel.

I love playing with my hair and hair color.

March was the first time I put blue and purple in my hair and I LOVED IT.

This time around I decided to amp up the purple a bit more.

I’m gonna be sweating purple for a month when I run!!

My little mouse (ok he’s a pomeranian) Freddie was looking extra cute today and I thought I’d share his cuteness with you all. 

He is 2.5 years old and 7 pounds of loooooove. 

Freddie has become quite a good runner as well, usually I only take him out on 3 milers or less. 

Sadly Freddie will be at the kennel this weekend while I’m in Nashville and he also will be getting all his yearly tests/shots etc. Poor thing. Lucky for him I am spoiling him rotten tonight!
