What I'm Loving Wednesday

I'm posting this about twelve hours later than usual.  

My week has been crazy busy, and I didn't have this post scheduled.  

Oops!!  

Ah well ... better late than never, I am linking up with Jamie.

I'm loving ...

... that I can text my Internet dude and have problems resolved in short order.

That's so much easier than an hour on the phone with tech support.

I was only without Internet for about an hour tonight.

And that time allowed me to do dishes and clean up a bit.  

So .... it's a win.

... the Iowa Craft Beer Tent at Principal Park.

I went to my first live baseball game the other night.

Iowa Cubs vs. Round Rock Express (and I was cheering for RR).

I was delighted to try a new local beer at the game.

I'm on a mission to visit more local breweries.

... that I ran 4.4 miles last Saturday.

It was supposed to be an organized 5K, but the route got messed up.

I was confused at the time, but now I'm just proud of myself.

That's my longest run ever.

I'm getting closer to being ready for a 10K, I think.

... the sweet comment another runner made to me after the race.

As some of you know, I get chatty during organized runs, and I talk to whoever is next to me.

After we were done running, one of my route buddies came up and said to me:

"Thanks for running with me and talking with me, I was going to walk the rest,

But then after we chatted, I decided I could run it out." 

\\\\////

... the fact that my Rangers had a good April.

Their record for the month was 17-9.

I know they probably won't keep that pace.

But it sure helps me feel better about the season ahead.

If only they could stop making base running errors.

... this picture of me and my friend, Danielle.

It was taken at her going away see you later party last Saturday night.

I look forward to following Danielle's new life adventures. 

Be nice to her, Louisiana.  

(Although I wouldn't be sad if you kicked her back to Iowa.)

... the soreness I have today after yesterday's BodyPump workout.

I increased weight on a few tracks and worked on my form on others.

I really pushed myself, and I can feel it today.

And that's a good thing.  

Pain is progress.

\\\\////

... that "Silver Linings Playbook" is out on DVD.

I absolutely loved that movie in theaters, and I will definitely own it.

I'm bribing myself with it, actually.

If I successfully track my food every day this month, I'll buy it for myself.

So far, so good ... but it's only May 1.  Ha ha!

\\\\////

... how well this someecard sums up my day at work.

I had to do a lot of math this afternoon.

It made my head hurt.

This is why I could never be an engineer or an accountant or whatever.

I'll stick to words, thanks.
