TGIF...9 Days

I am toasting myself right now to another week done, another long run in the books and only one week left of my training. Cheers!

Can you see the fog on my hat?

Workout stats:
8.08 miles, 1:11:56 time, 8.54 avg min mile
32* deg, heavy fog.
Cold start, took me about 45 min to really kick it in to gear and hit my runners high, but when I did I felt great. So thankful that my body is hanging in there and that my mind is too. Long runs mess with your head. The whole time I am thinking about how far I have to go. 8 miles didn't seem so long today. That was cool, after last week it felt short! Next week will be easy in comparison.
My next task is planning what I am wearing, eating and bathroom needs on race day. You may be laughing right now, but this is serious business!

Modern day torture devices.

Lunch today was Sardines from the can and fried plantain. SO GOOD!

The girls new bed arrived today so we put it together after school. She bought it with her xmas money. She has been very excited and bought some storage bins for putting under it and a few new pillows too.
The assembly went fast and she now has a very cool new daybed with lots of storage underneath.

She helped.

End result. Pretty cool and functional.

Kids are gone for the weekend. Its low key around here. Planing to get some reading in tonight....I had that plan last night too but fell asleep on the couch "reading" around 8:30....I kept trying to wake up and read a few sentences then would be back out. Not productive. I have faith in myself tonight.
Have a great weekend!
