Sunny Days

I'm happy to say, I'm feeling a little less like:

And a little more like:

Stress is an ugly thing.  It doesn't normally affect me too much, but every now and then, it gets me.  Nothing has changed in the situations that have been going on lately...I've just willed myself out of the funk...thankfully!

This morning, I made it to the gym.  I ran 7 miles.  My goal was 8, but I struggled to get moving this morning and pushed time as far as I could make it go before it was time to hit the showers.  I still have a little more than 11 weeks until the Savannah 1/2 Marathon.  I think I'll be ready.  My goal was to increase from 8 miles at a 9:00 mile pace to 13 each week.  That would give me a little time to have screw ups...like today!  So, I'm still ok and on track.  Hopefully I'll get into a rhythm again.  Getting up in the mornings is tough for a non-morning person like myself.  But, it's good to be done.  At the end of the day excuses seem to push their way in more often than not.  Although I made it yesterday afternoon too for some shoulders, triceps and abs...it's a rare occurrence.  Here's to improvement once again!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I turned on my favorite radio station for a little bit of rock and Bubba the Love Sponge yesterday and quite upset yesterday morning when I heard they're switching it over to a talk radio with news, weather and traffic on Friday.  What?! It's all rock from when I was in high school and a little before...none of the new pop-ish music.  It is an awesome station.  Why cancel it?!  Rude.
I called John when I realized this was going down on the way to work yesterday.  I was a bit bummed because it brought me some giggles on my morning ride and we both really liked the music on the station.  A few hours later he calls telling me to check my email and look for something from amazon.  He found and bought a chord to finally make my iPhone work in my car so soon, I'll be able to listen to my favorite station again on my ride to work over the internet!  It should be here Thursday!  What a guy!!
That was my happy moment yesterday! 

If you can't tell, I not only want to see The Help...I also want to see the new Winnie the Pooh movie!  Who didn't love Pooh when they were young??

What were your favorite movies or characters as a child?
I loved the Winnie the Pooh books!  I also loved The Little Mermaid and a few other Disney favorites.

How was your last workout??

Do you have any happy moments to share?

I was obsessed with Tigger from Winnie and the Pooh. I also secretly anted to be Ariel from The Little Mermaid. I thought she was the coolest ever! Glad you're feeling better! I want to see The Help soooooo bad!
