The countdown is ON!

5 MORE DAYS TIL GASPARILLA!

Gee can you tell I'm beyond excited? :)

Well this weekend was a ton of fun! Crazy B got into town Friday night and we attended the bridal shower, went out to dinner and then rented a movie. It's great hanging out with a fellow running nerd because renting a movie and calling it a very early night on Friday didn't even cause her to blink an eye...

Saturday we were up bright and early and headed over to the trail. Running Roomie joined us, as she was planning on running 10 miles as well and we had a total girly running morning. Caught up on all the juicy gossip of each other's lives (we're all single... incredibly single...) and just nerded out about all the running we do and what we're training for, etc... It was fun. I have to admit though, Crazy B is a little slower paced than I'm used to running so I had to mentally make myself run a little behind them to make sure I didn't set the pace... which apparently I didn't do that great of job at because we still ran faster than she's used to and she was subsequently sore that night. Whoops! :)

Crazy B left to meet up with some other O-town friends while Running Roomie and I went to go get pedicure's. Man oh man do I miss having pretty toes! The lady was like "what you do to your toes!?!?" Running. That is what I did to my toes. *Sigh* That was one of the first things I had to let go of when I started running; pretty, french manicured toes. *Sigh* After the manicure's it was nap time and then Running Roomie was off on her blind date and I was off to make a rare (and brief) appearance downtown for Crazy B's birthday. It was fun to be out but I promptly turned into a pumpkin just before midnight.

Yesterday was a nice easy day, went outlet shopping with my preggers friend and then did an easy 10 mile xtraining bike ride around downtown... had dinner with Race Buddy and his girlfriend PJ and then it was home and to bed nice and early to start my taper week before the big race!

Can I just say that running 3 miles this morning was like warming up? LOL! I got done and I'm like, "Running Roomie, I feel like we should still be running!" I had so much morning left this morning to actually get ready for work! I even curled my hair! *GASP*

Oh I almost forgot!!! Running Roomie has decided to do Gasparilla with Race Buddy and I! The talk with Crazy B about what she was training for motivated her to "Just do it." So it's going to be quite an entourage this weekend; Race Buddy, Running Roomie and I are all doing the half and Crazy B & Captain C are doing the full. PJ, Rixy, Hancock & Banana are all coming to cheer us in... then we'll cheer in Crazy B & Captain C when they finish up the full. I can't wait for this weekend!!!

5 MORE DAYS!
