Oh my gosh.  Running in Seattle weather with Justin and Cooper = GLORIOUS.  I do not miss that humidity... not one.little.bit!  It was just so refreshing and we'd hit cool patches of air and the sun was setting and the moon was out and it was AMAZING!!!!!  I missed my VFFs!  

3 loops around the neighborhood (2 with Justin and Cooper) plus a little extra to get to 5.   Then I foam rolled for the first time in 8 weeks and nearly died from the torturous pain.  Clearly I need that thing.

Jet lag is the worst.  It is 4:00am and I have to work tomorrow but after laying in bed since 2:30am I finally just got up and came downstairs.  Today is going to SUCK.

Yesterday seriously sucked. I felt so awful, like the worst hangover in the world or something (without alcohol!). But then I slept super amazing last night and today I feel SO GREAT! Glad we're running tonight (and not last night!)! See YOU LATER!
