It's freakin steamin' out today! YOWSERS!
First of all I would appreciate it if my dang Garmin would stop searching for satellites for 80 million years while I run. So a note:
Dear Garmin,
I am now dependant on you and become very frustrated when you fail to operate, even though I practically know the mileage by heart I would still like to track my pace and oogle at the calories I am burning. You were not cheap - please work.
Love only if you stop being a poo, Heidi
Also, when it's like 85 and I'm sweating like a mofo, people who wear pants when they run literally make me want to die. I see their pants and become like 3 degrees warmer. YUCK.
Hurray for warm weather - The bike got a pre-Muddy Buddy tune-up, we're obviously not into this race at all.....T-minus 3 days :)

Called out........
So I've been called out by Paul my older brother for not blogging - and crap he's right......although to be fair several other people have called me out as well - props to Katie and Eric (not my older brother) In my defense if you check the date at least I didn't go a whole month!
I have been running here and there. Instead of boring you with the gory details which I can't even do because I don't have them we'll chat about the weird crap that's gone down lately like our new gym's lockers....
It was raining on Sat and I thought I'd get a start on the day so I hit the gym at like 9:30. Our new gym bought out old baby gym and it's all fancy shmancy. Like the lockers for example - you don't even need a LOCK. WHAT!? So I've only been there twice right, and there's an intricate card which explains you set your code with the arrows and midnight, close, move to nine o'clock and scramble your code. Well, being my second visit I figured I had it down pat right. YEAH not so much - def locked myself out....so I walked up to the front desk with my eyes to the floor and some perky chick screamed so everyone could hear "Locked out?" Yes, thank you, could we please tell everyone on the 4th floor as well!? So she proceeds to unlock my locker, which PS she did without asking for an id or even confirmation that it was actually my crap in there......then looks at me and step by step explains again how to lock it. Really!? You think I didn't learn my lesson? Blah so obnoxious. As a side note, after my run I did 50 crunches and 18 push ups - I was so sore on Sunday it hurt to laugh......note to self, your core blows!
And in other weird news. Last night I hit the trail up for a 5 miler-ish. Everything was fine, no biggie. But cops on the trail ANNOY me, I ran by a squad car - yes a car, on the trail - and what was the officer doing - smoking a STOGIE.......are you kidding me, you seriously couldn't wait to get off work to smoke that?! I'm sorry there is just something wrong with that picture. Also, not a fan of cops on horses. I COMPLETELY understand that the horse has to drink, but it creeps me out when he's drinking of the water fountain trough. It just does. And then they poo all over the trail - big horse poos - ew. And now because I've complained about this something terrible will happen on the trail and I'll be praying for a cop on horseback - CRAP!
My favorite race of the year is coming up!!!!! Get excited!!!! the Muddy Buddy is about a week and a half away!!!!!! Hands down favorite race - cannot wait! If you're lucky I'll have pictures to post......

Yowsers!!
Holy crap! I managed to miss a whole month of blogging! For shame!!!! Well let's see, what's my excuse......I've got a whole laundry list:
-Wedding planning
-Not running as much as I should
-Soul searching aka trying to decide what to do with my life
-Complaining about the hooligans upstairs
-Cursing the hooligans upstairs
-Getting freaked out when I thought a 3rd hooligan was moving in upstairs, thankfully this was not correct!
Alright - so they aren't great - but they are for the most part true. I did do a 6 miler this weekend just for kicks. I was fine, but I've been better.....and there were 10,000 runner groups out who I constantly had to pass so I could beat them to the water. And I decided I need new kicks, but new kicks are always expensive.....grrrrr.....I wish there was a "new kicks" fairy - there should be anyway.
Well it's technically already Wed - so at least we have that going for us. Perhaps this little cheesehead will get her act together and blog again before a month is up.
OH and sidenote, due to the aforementioned hooligan grill stealing escapade we were forced to use mini-beach-grill for delicious bbq on Sunday evening - the hooligans walked by while this was going on and didn't say a dang thing - damn you grill stealing hooligans!!!!!!!!
