Aw Nuts!

Hooray for Friday! I took yesterday off and feel much better today. I think I needed a little stay at home vacation. I woke up and went to the cemetery, then I hung out by the pool and had dinner with the family. I also did a little 4 miler on the dread mill to loosen up the legs for tomorrow.

What's tomorrow you ask?

Well only my first 5K in what feels like forever. The closest to this was the two short-er runs I did at Ragnar, and guess what? Our very own Captain Nuts is coming out to pace me. Super stoked by this for multiple reasons. Shall I list them? But of course.

1. Captain Nuts is hilarious. (Read his blog and you'll understand.)

2. Captain Nuts runs fast and can help me with a new PR (my barfing aside).

3. Captain Nuts, while his methods of pacing may be questionable, they totally work. For example, while riding the bike with me during a very late night Ragnar run he told me about chainsaw murderers in the trails we were running, as well as the female runner who was gaining on me. To this day, I'm not sure either of those existed.

4. Captain Nuts won't take my whining.

5. McDonald's is sure to be eaten either before or after. I'm lovin' it! Captain Nuts fuels his runs with Mickey D's. Don't get it? Me either. But, hey, whatever works right?

Have a tremendous Friday all. As OutKast would say, "You need to git up, git out, and git something."
