Friday Five!

{max is home... content}
__________________________________________________________________

Yesterday was 90 degrees (at least according to my car). Oh sweet warmth. How I’ve missed you so! That pretty much sums up my week. It’s been a good one.

Tomorrow I'm running the10k in the Riverbank Run! I signed up for this back in October. As much as I will be happy I did it (once it’s done) I have repeatedly regretted it since signing up. 1) I stopped running over the winter while doing Insanity and due to the truly horrendous winter weather, 2) I really don’t like running to begin with, although, I’m trying to grow into it(?)… and 3) signing up for something 8 months in advance always seems like a good at the time, but not so much come time to actually do. Needless to say, I think I’m ready, but am praying for perfect weather conditions. And if not, I walk. That’s still participating, right? Will I get a metal? Even for last? 

Immediately following the race, I’m looking forward to some beer tent action with my fellow racers (and Max!), followed by celebratory bloody’s downtown. Sunday Mom and Dad are coming to Grand Rapids for mother’s day, where we will brunch, chit-chat and toast my mom from the comfort of our very large couch! Perfecto!
