I'm baaaack

My trip to Louisville, KY was good. Although, I didn't see any of Louisville. The airport, hotel and convention center were all in walking distance of one another. And walk I did. I worked like 14 hours a day, so, I could have been anywhere.

Here I am with a lifesize Annie Armstrong. I asked about Lottie Moon, but they had already put her up. Boo!

I enjoyed getting to meet so many awesome people. Mostly pastors and their wives. It was great to hold their hands, hear their stories and then stick them and make them bleed. Ha, ha, I was checking cholesterol and glucose, so finger sticking a necessity.

I DID pick up the cutest new Bible at the Lifeway booth. Pink and pretty, it's a daily Bible, with 365 readings for women. I'm super excited, because I've been wanting a NLT. My Daily Word AND it's cute.
My flight back was delayed and late, but I STILL got up ridiculously early the next morning to run hills for 6 miles. I'm just that committed. AND I managed to get some shopping in. I'm all about easy dresses this summer. I picked up this green treasure on sale at ATL.

And this cutie for only $19.99 at Target!

Tomorrow, it's up early for 10 miles. I'm moving my Sunday long run to Saturday this week. Beeeecause, Michelle is headed home for a month. If we move everything up a day, she can get one more run in with us. I don't envy her having to get an entire month of running in by herself. Including one 18 miler. So I was happy to move my long run up a day. I DO however, envy her home. She's from the Bahamas. Yep, a real Bahama Mama. I'm so excited she's going to get to spend an entire month at home with family. I hope it is energizing for her! I can't imagine living so far away from my family!

Right now my left eye is all swolley. Allergies. If only I could stay indoors. But hmm, that doesn't work well with marathon training. That I am still very super excited about. More on that later. I'm gonna wash my face and jump in the biscuit. That benadryl I took is starting to kick in. Yawn.

I've got a lot of blog reading to catch up on. Good thing it's supposed to be crazy hot tommorrow. (what's new?) The perfect excuse to stay indoors and just r-e-a-d.
