My 3 H Day

I can sum this morning's 5k up in three words: Hot. Humid. Hilly. It was just brutal out there. The race started at 8am and by the time we finished up and made it home, it was already 87 degrees with 70% humidity. HOT HOT HOT. Plus, there were quite a few hills on our little course. You know how I feel about hills. No thank you.

I guess the official results will be posted in the next day or so. I believe I did it in about 48:00 which is a nice little 15:30 mile. Average for this turtle. The Speedy Captain did it in about 28:00. He's uber fast.

When we got home, the kids had made a little surprise sign for us.

Note that Cooper signed his alter ego - Batman. He also put 3 "o's" in his name. Time to go back to school.

Maybe it was the heat or maybe just my lack of any sort of real running in over a month, but the race totally wiped me out. I've been sleeping off and on all afternoon and really have no energy to do much of anything.

An update on my toenail....it is definitely coming off. I can see where it is growing away from the base of the nail. Totally yuk. Coach George is thrilled.

Good news from the Great Tomato Project. I have blooms on my tomato plants!! One of them has opened and I can see the yellow flower. And there are a few other little blooms on there too. If you look really careful in this picture, you can see one unopened bloom right in the middle. Look at about 1 o'clock from that bloom and you can see the tip of the yellow bloom. Hooray!

The Bloggie Doggie hasn't felt very well today and last night. His tummy has been upset. That's always nice - cleaning up dog puke. But he still always asks to play with his Frisbee.

We're just laying low this afternoon. Nice for a change.

Stay cool people.

Guess what today is?

Happy Summer! Summer officially arrives at 6:59 pm tonight. We were thinking about going to the Redbirds game tonight, but I forgot about this earth-shattering, monumental event.....

What?! You don't know what that is?!? What's wrong with you people?!? You must not live in a house with a girl under the age of 15..... It's only the biggest event of the summer. The biggest thing to hit the Disney Channel since High School Musical. It is the world premiere of the JONAS BROTHERS MOVIE!!!! And apparently it is *very* important to see it the first time it comes on. Not that it isn't going to run 3 more times before Sunday night.....AND we also have DVR, so we could record it and watch it the minute we get home.....or all weekend for that matter....AND they will probably run it again all next week. None of that is important, because the premiere is TONIGHT!! So, I'm not sure if we'll be cheering on the Redbirds or listening to Jordan swoon all night about how cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute Nick Jonas is.

Right now, Gauge is playing one of his favorite games. It's called "I have something in my mouth that I'm not supposed to have and I really don't want to eat it, I just want you to chase me." He has had this computer game box in his mouth for over 20 minutes....I chose, this morning, to ignore him. So he'll sit for awhile....

Then he'll walk around and change locations to make sure I see him.

Or he'll pretend like HE is ignoring ME.

Here is he under my desk......

He usually puts up a pretty good chase. But I just wasn't into that today. So he sighed a lot. But he never dropped the box. I think he was dozing off under my desk so I, in my stealthy manner, grabbed the box with my feet.

Not that you care, but it's my blog and I can write about whatever I want to....but I took my toenail polish off last night and my big toe has turned a nice shade of purply gray.....it's the entire toenail. Darn it. And yes, I actually thought about taking a picture of my toe to show you, but I decided against it. You're welcome.

Happy Friday & Happy Summer! Have a great day peeps!!
