Listening

Sunday is suppose to be my long run day but as soon as I woke up this morning I knew I just wasn't feeling it. I have been reading a lot of running blogs lately and am learning how important it is to listen to my body. My problem is knowing if it my body talking or my lazy mind. After going out to breakfast and seeing how nice it was I was surprised that my body still was not telling me to go run. After working out all summer in the killer heat it is pretty easy to get motivated to run on a 70 degree day. I came and laid down in bed to read my new favorite blog: hungryrunnergirl.com. After over an hour of reading I was having a hard time keeping my eyes open so I continued to listen to my body and laid down for a nap. It has been a long time since I took a nap. I ended up laying in bed relaxing with my eyes closed for an hour and a half and then finally fell asleep for an hour and a half. The snuggling with my blankets was just as awesome as the sleeping. Around 6:00 Davin woke me up to go to Olive Garden. A few years ago I started having a block against Olive Garden. There was nothing that triggered it...I just didn't care for it anymore. I eat it about once a year now. Yesterday I mentioned to Davin that Olive Garden was sounding good and since he still loves it we were eating there less than 20 hours after I made that comment. I had the five cheese ziti and it was yummy. Nothing like carb loading on a rest day the day before a rest day. oops! I'll probably go out tomorrow since I moved my rest day to today. I was surprised this morning that I wasn't sore from the weight workout I did yesterday. However, after laying around all day and napping I now feel a few tender muscle areas. Alea told me if I keep working out my arms my muscle bump will be on the top instead of the bottom of my arm. Haha. I can laugh at that because I am the one who started that comment a few months ago. Alea has had awesome arm muscles for most of her life. Davin and I love to have her show us her bicep. She was asking to see my bicep a while back and I told her I couldn't show it to her because my bulging muscle is on the bottom of my arm instead of the top.

Alea and I both wore our KU shirts today for no apparent reason. Also, I have no idea why my KU shirt has Hello Kitty on it. Alea said it is because cats like to eat birds. True, but I don't think that makes for a good shirt for KU.


Checkout these jellyfish clouds in NWA tonight. Pretty cool.
