Out of the Groove
Ever since I returned from spring break, I haven’t gotten back into my blogging ‘groove’. Not sure if it’s taper, nerves, whatever but I feel overwhelmed and distracted. The fact that Modern Caveman is off at the Masters and I’m single parenting–again–may have something to do with it. But anyway, welcome to all the new A-listers! I will make my way around if I haven’t already leave me a comment and give me a nudge.
Vicious Cycle
These past few weeks when I’ve done uber long runs on the weekend, then speedwork on Tuesday, I noticed on Wednesdays I feel especially rundown. My sore throat seems gone one day but comes back the next, leading me to believe I’ve never fully recovered from last month’s bronchial sludge. I’m thinking of skipping today’s tempo run entirely to see if that helps. How’s that for radical?
Jet Setter That I Am…
I haven’t been on a girls’ weekend of any kind in over 2 years, but tomorrow I’m heading back to Florida, where a bunch of friends and I will be sharing a house for the weekend and…wait for it….foreign concept to lots of moms, I know…relaxing!!!
Does the fact that this junket is sandwiched between our spring break trip and the Beantown excursion qualify me for full jet-setting diva status? One can hope. I’ll miss the kids for sure but there’s something to be said for travelling sans Polly Pocket entourage, crayons, Webkinz and graham cracker crumbs. Actually I kinda dig graham crackers. But crawling around the floor of the plane collecting them, not so much.
Michelle says
Have a great time! I don't enjoy scurring to pick-up dropped kiddie stuff on the plane, either. Especially when they still want to eat it…
misszippy says
Have fun! Nothing better than just packing up ONE bag and heading out with the girls. I think you do deserve jet-setter status. Hopefully a little down time will help you rest up and kick the germs out for good!
Carly says
Have fun on your girls weekend! I'm sure it will be a blast.
Morgan says
Oooo a girls weekend followed by Boston?!?!? AWESOME! Live it up girl and I will see you next weekend!!!!!! ๐
Java Joggers says
Ooh… that's why I love reading these blogs… I get to live vicariously through all of you! Seriously, enjoy your girls' weekend ๐
Erin Richards says
Oh man, oh man, oh man I wish wish wish I were coming to Florida tomorrow with you!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH
Megan says
Sounds like fun to me. Eventhough I just had one myself I could use another girls trip. It was an eventful day yesterday in my house. Full of gross happenings.
Laura says
Sounds like it might be a good idea to take a rest if you're feeling run down.
Enjoy your girly weekend, totally jealous over here! You'll have to post some pics when you get back ๐
April says
Good for you!! Enjoy your girls weekend! I believe you have earned the jet-setter status!
Stephanie says
Have sooo much fun! Me and my husband are going out this Friday night with some friends, and my son is staying the night with my parents…huge deal for us…we haven't had a date night in a LONG time! I can't wait!
Can't wait to hear about your fun trip!
Heather says
Have a fun girls weekend!

Marlene says
What perfect timing for a relaxation weekend! ENJOY!
Meg says
You are a jet-setter and I think the timing is perfect. It will put your head in a nice, restful state!! Fun is good too! I think your idea to skip your mid week run is great, if you're fighting something the rest is good and if you're not…it doesn't matter right now anyway! Your work is done!
Take some pictures and enjoy the FUN!
Erica says

Oh man, I'm so jealous of your weekend. I haven't had a weekend without the kids or the husband since my son was born 8.5 years ago.
Have fun!
Suzy says
You may have snow, but it's 30 degrees warmer than normal here. We're sitting at 86 degrees right now! So wrong for the beginning of April. Have a BLAST on your girls weekend.
Laura says
Great, I've edited it to add you to the list ๐
Char says
Skipping today's run sounds incredibly sensible. Enjoy your girls' weekend.

Tomorrow I leave for time with the girls too. Not leaving my kids though as they are on their own!
