1. Camp Update: I’m back from Girl Scout Camp! Temporarily, but I’ll take what I can get. Thing 1 was perfectly happy to see me leave and I was perfectly happy to go. I’ll return for Part II of my chaperoning duties next week.
Here we are just before a bug flew in my mouth and bit my lower gum.
Good times. When will I learn to keep my mouth shut?
2. Running Update: Despite the camping odyssey, I’ve managed to sneak in my runs, although its been a light schedule as I’m tapering for this weekend’s 1/2. I don’t think I’ve ever tapered for a 1/2 before. Next question: Tapering from what? I wasn’t on much of a training schedule to start with. It’s supposed to be a hot, humid sizzler on Sunday so wish me luck staying cool!
3. Congrats to Chicago’s own Blackhawks! WOOT for their Stanley Cup WIN!
Glad to hear you survived part one! And you got some training in, a bonus. Good luck this weekend!
good luck on your upcoming race! 🙂
Great photo. Boy, does she look like you! Beautiful!
Nice…too bad about the bug! Have a great race this weekend.
Keeping my fingers crossed that you have perfect weather for your half on Saturday!
cute pic — congrats on fitting it all in!!
Hope camp part 2 goes well for you too! Good luck on Sunday, here's to hoping the humidity isn't out of control and that the bugs stay out of your way… or at least out of your mouth. 🙂 You'll be awesome!
Hope your race goes well!!
Oh Good Luck for this weekend's run. Though I'd take your heat any day over this never ending rain.
Good luck at your race this weekend!
Oh man, there is a part II? Good luck on Sunday!
Love the pic 🙂
Did you ever get my package?
Good for you getting those runs in. LOL at 'tapering for what?' Have a great run at the 1/2!
Wait, Katie sent you a package??? Hum…. I must have a chat with that girl!
Good luck with your sizzling 1/2 this weekend! I may do a half or a 10-miler, haven't decided yet, but luck us, it's suppose to be a HIGH of 62 on race day!!!
Miss ya!! Have a blast!
Okay, that "bug in the mouth" thing is the reason I do very little camping – you're a rock star! Have a great time this weekend at your half, looking forward to hearing about it!
Thanks for your kind words on my blog!! It's good to have found you!
Good luck on the half. Colorado is supposed to have high of 59 on Saturday, so maybe cooler weather is headed your way for Sunday.
Very cute picture!
I've read about more Chicago fans in the last few days!
You've done so well to manage running while camping. That's discipline for you! Good luck on your race.
that game was great last night!!! nice job getting your runs in!
the bug in the mouth thing cracked me up! There's one good reason to run inside I guess?! 😉
Good luck staying cool in the half!!!
Hope they have sponges soaked in ice-water. They had that at my race this past weekend and it make a HUGE difference! I'd never seen that before. You could always have your "support staff" tote along some extra ice for you…anything to keep that body temp down 🙂
Did you ensure the demise of that bug?! 🙂 Good luck at the half. Have fun, despite the heat!
Good luck with your race!
Aren't bugs supposed to be protein? Or did someone just tell me that to stop me from whining since I was always getting him with them?
What a cute pic of you and your daughter. Good luck with your half this weekend! Hope the heat isn't too unbearable.
Good luck with your half. I'm sure the rest will give you that extra boost.
I don't follow hockey at all, and when I first saw that trophy i thought 'DANG! her lil' ones' Girl Scout Troop must've done something pretty phenomenal. Like sell a million boxes of cookies or something!
Go, go for the half!
Enjoy the half! Hope you don't have any more nasty bug experiences in part two of the camping trip!
My husband is from the chicago area. he's very happy about the blackhawks winning!
