One of Those Days
Mondays are a crazy, hectic mess of all of the things.
So again, it’s a shortish post – my brain is sad. I am in Canberra, tucked up in bed and ready to sleep!
Canberra is where I cram a week’s worth of work/catch-ups into a day, and still annoy people with my inability to meet up with them. Sorry guys!
Weekend!
After my long run, Mr The Rake decided I needed to eat more.
That’s a GIANT Freddo Frog
At least he cares.
After his eggs and bacon shot, he’s started his own portfolio.
I don’t know what this has to do with running, but why not?
He was feeding the plants.
Aside from these happy snaps, I can report that I
1. Did nothing interesting
2. Procrastinated like a boss
3. Ate a lot of yogurt
4. Drove to Canberra, and continued all of the above
Goodnight
After my long run and a good nap, I still felt like this:
And that’s exactly what I feel like now, so I’m off to bed!
With 49 days until the marathon, can I use training as an excuse to sleep as much as I want?!
Today’s Moment
Today I was in Canberra, and I got to spend my lunch time with a couple of good friends. Hooray for ridiculous conversation
Your Turn!
Are you a Monday person?
What’s your sign that you probably need to eat/go to bed?
What made you smile today? (I check these comments in the morning – so make me smile too, ok?!)
1) I’m not a Monday person, just because it’s the most hectic work day for me, and now classes are starting too, so I get to cram all the important work stuff into a smaller period of time. yay!
2) I get really super cranky when I’m tired or hungry- I’m like an infant
3)Coffee being made as soon as I woke up, that generally makes me smile everyday.

That does sound like a reason to smile! Trying to cram it all in is never fun, no wonder you;re not a Monday person. Ick!
A long run & a nap sound awesome. Sweet dreams!

Thanks Ruby!
I’m one of those weirdos who barely needs any sleep! Food on the other hand is a different story! Haha. When I dont eat enough I get super grumpy, so I always have snacks with me! Sleep well! Xo
Thanks Jenna, I get grumpy when I need food too – and usually Rake can tell before I can
I definitely need to sleep more when I’m in the thick of training… it’s real! Hope you are able to rest up and recover. Food, sleep, recovery time, it’s all such a tricky balance in marathon training.

Thanks Laura, that makes me feel better! It’s a fascinating process though – if I didn’t have a zillion other things to do I would happily just give into the sleep thing
(and I’ll bet anything you know that feeling).
Im not really a Monday person, but I AM a morning person! I start getting super quiet and snappy when Im hungry. Its really easy to tell. I mean I literally just shut down and sit there until my food arrives lol

Have you always been a morning person, or have you changed over time (this is something that I find weirdly interesting!). Haha I can imagine you at a restaurant silently waiting, unable to speak!
I don’t even know what a Monday is any more. I work 6 days a week. Don’t feel sorry for me, I chose this job and I actually like it. I think sleeping after a run is marvelous. What made me smile was reading blogs. The people I follow are kind of wacky. Some of them any way. I hope you had a good rest.

Thanks Liz. I’m glad you have a job that you like – that’s more than a lot of people can say!
i am ALL for making the goal to eat more…let’s dig in!!
also loving the marathon countdown, i say from here on out u save all energy when u’re not running…that means no walking or doing anything urself, making mr. the rake do it.

I LOVE that idea! I think he might explode. My extra-curricular activities give him headaches just trying to work out where I am on a given day! Somewhere on your blog you wrote about pop-tarts. I haven’t had those for years. Oh I want them!
My Mondays are crazy too. Long run days are pretty much a wash for me. By the time I finish the run and nap it is well into the afternoon. Then I have to remind myself that at least I did something – I ran.
P.S.- Stop taking pictures of chocolate frogs… makes me hungry.

Never! Chocolate frogs are the best thing ever – I just grabbed one out of the cupboard (Dad bought some tonight, randomly!) and it made me think of you. I don’t think that was the point, but you will now be forever linked to my frog habit.
