Five For Friday

I did something to my back/neck this week.  I woke up Wednesday and it hurt to move, I had to do the old roll out of bed move that I used back in my pregnancy days.  Luckily Wednesday was a rest day, so I popped some advil and took a few hot showers.  Managed to run six miles yesterday, but today it's still a bit stiff.  I think it's because I've been sleeping in so many different beds these past few weekends and it's catching up with me. 

I finally ordered a running skirt! They had a great sale going on, and I bit the bullet and bought one in camo/purple. My sis in law had ordered the same one, so now we'll match for the Boilermaker. We did the matching thing a couple of years ago, and wore pink tech shirts, but I think the skirts are more fun.  We're planning on a 13 mile run tomorrow, just in time for the 90 degree heat and humidity due to arrive this weekend.

I love my Jeep.  I bought it alone, negotiated the deal myself (although it did help that the dealership advertised in the newspaper I worked for, and my boss called ahead and let them know I was coming).  Love love love it.  We've had it forever and it has 137,000 miles on it. I hope it lasts a bit longer, but things keep needing to be fixed on it, and Mike has told me to prepare myself for when it finally bites the dust.  I really hope that doesn't happen for a looong time.

I decided that my favorite time of day is when we go to bed and we check on the kids slumbering away. Last night Luke looked like a teenager, and he's only six.

If you've read my blog for a while, you know that my mother in law went through treatment this past year for breast cancer.  Things are looking good now, so my father in law is hosting a lunch on Father's Day to celebrate the news.  Most of D's family and friends who did the fundraising walk for breast cancer last fall will be there.  So Sunday should be an extra good day.
