1. It appears that this is going to be one of “those” weeks. One of those where running has to be squished in around life. Today I ran 2.3 miles on the treadmill in 20 minutes, spent a little over an hour on the phone for a conference call, and then ran another 3.1 miles in 28 minutes on the treadmill before Shoo was dropped off again. I ran the first 2.3 as intervals, so at least I got a speed work out this week. Not sure how I’m fitting in running tomorrow or Friday, but I will find at least a small piece of time each day. Almost makes me wish I were a morning runner.
2. If I can survive to the weekend, I will be rewarded. My parents, Beer Geek’s dad and step-mom, and a small number of friends are headed to a brewpub for dinner and beer to finally celebrate my 40th birthday. Yes, I am dragging that sucker out as long as possible. ;o) Stalkers are welcome to join us after dinner, but only if you buy me a beer. ;o)
3. My left eye has been bothering me for the last 24ish hours. I’m hoping it’s just allergies (which is possible), but I’m worried that it’s pink eye. I’ve decided to take at least a day off from contacts to see if it stops or if I need to see my eye doctor. I hate wearing my glasses and I hate running in them even more, so if I can’t wear my contacts soon, I might just lose my mind…
Oh, and I will try to get the virtual race awards in the mail next week. Life has been just a bit too crazy the last couple of weeks.
I say make it the year of MCM Mama, not just a week or two! Hope your eye heals up quickly, whatever it is. I am a contact wearer too and also despise running in glasses, so I can relate. I am considering laser one of these days–have you ever considered it?
Enjoy the dinner and, of course, the brew(s).
Hope you have a wonderful weekend and that your eye gets better!
Sorry about your eye! Hopefully some fun this weekend with family and friends will help!
Keeping my fingers crossed that it's not pink eye, and will be back to normal soon! And who knows, you may turn into a morning runner one of these days… I had to out of sheer necessity, but really like the wee hours of the morning now 🙂
Hope your eye is okay, I'm struggling with allergies and my eyes are itchy! As for MissZippy's laser info, I did it about 7 years ago and it is the BEST thing I ever did. To wake up and see the clock and not have to mess with contacts, to see you face when you're washing it… Anyway, I recommend it highly! Have fun at your birthday bash!
I know my allergies have given me itchy eyes! Hope its nothing big!
Have a wonderful dinner! I miss the days of breastfeeding when milk was a cure all. Works wonders for pinkeye 🙂

I love that you had a conference call in the middle of your run!Enjoy your Bday dinner!!
Sometimes life just happens and we can’t do anything about that. Enjoy that party!
Pink eye is a real drag. The first time I got it I was in college. I slept in late one weekend, and woke up and could not open my eye. I kind of freaked out and wondered in one of my fraternity brothers had glued my eye shut in some sort of stupid prank. And then I went to the mirror and, with my one good eyer, saw that, no it was just the crustiness. Yuck. But it goes away quickly. With kids, pink eye seems to go around my house much more often these days.
Pink eye just made the rounds thorugh Norah's daycare. Thankfully, it skipped her, but it seems to be that time of year! Hope it's just allergies for you!
We just had the pink eye epidemic in our house. yuck….I hate that stuff. I hope it is just allergies.Enjoy the dinner! I think you should stretch this out for as long as possible!
We all have one of those weeks! I'll send good vibes that you survive! Good job on the intervals!Enjoy your brewpub dinner!
"Those" weeks happen to the best of us! Hope your eye is OK — yikes!
In my family when you turn 40, you get your entire birth month to celebrate:)
