3 Things on a Thursday.

1-  Today is the first day I attempted to run since the marathon. As much as I hate to admit it, but being sick for 2 weeks straight really helped me rest (even though I don't feel like I have). On the bright side, food poisoning yourself post-marathon means those 5 stubborn pounds that wouldn't budge during training are now gone :)
 
The 3 treadmill miles weren't that bad. I was super slow, but hey! I was moving and it felt good. I know I don't plan on racing this half marathon, but it would be nice to have a bit of cushion.

2- Having an "I miss NOLA" day. I don't know if it's all the Superbowl/ Mardi Gras stuff that has it in the news all the time. A co-worker forwarded me the NYT article about a certain famous bakery and my old roommate even posted on my facebook wall about king cakes, too. Earlier this week, Jaime was talking about doing the RNR NOLA in 2014. . I'll admit I'm super bummed I won't be running it this year (and did you see the medal?!) but I will be in Disney; if I couldn't go, this reason is kind of the best. So, yea. That's a lot of NOLA talk for this girl.
 
3- Speaking of Princess. . I decided on my costume! (If you follow me on twitter, pretend you haven't seen a post about it ;) I'm sure it's against some law, but I just couldn't stomach putting on a tiara/ tutu and being one of the masses (such is my life!) because let's be honest, how do you dress up as yourself? :) The next idea was villain; I already went down the villain road for ToT. So, the only thing left was to go with sidekick. And I'm pretty sure I decided to be the very best sidekick there is!

I seriously need to learn to sew/ own a sewing machine if these running costumes are going to be a habit. Here's to the next round with my trusty dollar store glue gun!

  1. I can't wait to see your Flounder costume! I'm expecting lots of pictures! If you can't be at RnR NOLA, then Princess is definitely the place to be. :)

    1. Let's hope the hot glue gun can do what I want!

      I hope Princess doesn't disappoint. That's a lot to compete with.

  4. Oh my gosh!! I can't wait to see your Flounder costume (and here's hoping I get to see it in person!!). What a great idea. And even better? I'm going as Ariel! :) Well, my costume isn't quite full out - I should say my outfit is inspired by Ariel.
