What can I say about today?

Today! Ha! Ha! Ha! Lets start with this morning's run....


This morning I woke up at 6:30 (ish) to get ready for my long run, a little slugish like normal. I looked outside to see if it started snowing yet, nope not yet. I made coffee and a protein shake with strawberries, YUMMY! Put my running tights on and what I thought was going to be a warm enough running top on. Let the girls do what they had to do outside, warmed up the truck, girls in their beds and out the door I go to meet my teammates at Hains Point for my long run.
It's 8:15 and we're off!! It was snowing in Woodbridge by the time I left, so mile 1 into the run I say to the group "I wish it would snow on this run, it would be so pretty to run in DC while its snowing.". A few minutes later, it started snowing...YEAH! So I thought! Did I happen to mention that I was going long, long meaning 13 miles. I think by mile 10 I couldn't even speak correctly, trying to tell my friends about paleo, ugh, I think my mouth was frozen my friend said that I was dehydrated...Bygones. Well it was very pretty running in DC while it was snowing, true! However, I agree with my new found friend, I wish the snow started at maybe mile 6 or 8, or so. Because my butt and feet were freezing, laterally...did you know that the fat on your butt can freeze and feel like your carrying an extra water bottle or GU packet on your butt? ROFL!!! by the time we finished I think there was about 3 or 4 inch's on the ground. Coach Ed had some hot coffee and/or Hot chocolate when we finished, oh he ROCKS!!
Driving home was not fun, I don't like driving in the snow BUT I had to get home. It took me an hour, it shouldve taken me 25 to 30 minutes. The heat was blasting all the way home and I was still cold, I did not get warm until I took a HOT shower. Then I sat on the couch for some R&R and started to feel nauseous, oh yeah I have to EAT!!! So I made eggs, but I didn't really have much else to eat today because I didn't get to go to the food store, and I didn't have anything to snack on, I couldve used something salty. That's fo' sure! Dinner will be a cheat meal tonight! I'm starving, STARVING I tell you!! Tomorrow I will be planted on the couch, maybe I'll do some yoga but not much more than that (oh crap I have to go get FOOD).

Right now I still feel sick but I'll feel better after I eat dinner I hope.  Today was so much fun!!!
