I still keep typing July in my title!\u00a0 Anyone else having troubles with the fact that it’s August?<\/p>\n

I had a crap-ton to get done today and I set my alarm for 6am.\u00a0 Last night, I went to bed right after SF<\/abbr> class.\u00a0 I read for a minute, talked with Scott, and then it was lights out, grandma needs some sleep!\u00a0 But when the alarm went off at six, instead of it being all sunny outside, it was very dark.<\/p>\n

I do not run in the dark.\u00a0 I know some of you do, but I’ve tried it and I don’t like it.\u00a0 I can’t see anything!\u00a0 I went back to bed instead.\u00a0 Then it started thundering, well I don’t run in that either unless it comes around the corner and surprises me.\u00a0 I laid there for an hour waiting for the weather to make up its mind.\u00a0 At 7am, I finally got up to take care of Rocky before it started raining.\u00a0 By this time it was lightening out as well.\u00a0 I knew that rain was about to hit any second.\u00a0 Grrrr I was totally ready for a run!<\/p>\n

I came into the office and handled some bidness instead.\u00a0 I waited patiently for the weather to change in my favor because dangit I wanted to run!\u00a0 The rain was short and I busted butt to get changed and out the door.\u00a0 Training schedule had me doing a 3mile run today.\u00a0 I had to cut it short because I got a wicked cramp.\u00a0 I stopped to walk twice and that didn’t help.\u00a0 I jogged really slowly back home.\u00a0 It was less than three miles but it couldn’t have been by much.<\/p>\n

I walked Rocky and then took a very lovely super hot shower.\u00a0 Then it was time for breakfast and to feed the hungry beast!<\/p>\n

\"Coffee<\/p>\n

I went back and forth about what to have and eventually decided on some oatbran.\u00a0 It turned out to the best thing ever and exactly what I needed this morning!\u00a0 The only thing I didn’t add was some extra protein powder.\u00a0 Since it was already close to lunch time, I nixed it.\u00a0 The last scoop of rhubarb blueberry sauce and vanilla almond butter were my mix-ins.\u00a0 Coffee along side!<\/p>\n

I got work done and got plans for tomorrow started.\u00a0 We have a big day tomorrow and I can’t wait to share a little about it.\u00a0 Wooot!!<\/p>\n

Then I had to get busy making some lunch.\u00a0 You know the drill.<\/p>\n

\"Salad<\/a><\/p>\n
