Time to Taper!

I had an awesome long run this morning with Ari through Ahwatukee. I ran 4 solo, then met up with her for the last 6. I got tired at a few points during the run, probably because I am getting over a cold. We finished strong, though, and felt great afterwards! Ari is so positive, and always motivates me! She even let me use her iPod for my last leg since mine died at mile 5 . Now THAT’s a true friend! Then, this was me for the next four hours:

I haven’t slept that hard, even at night, for a long time! The run sucked the life out of me, and my last remaining bits of energy I was holding onto. I love how running makes me sleep so well!

After my nap, I went shopping for work pants at Ross….the have NO pants right now!! I know it’s summer, but some of us have to continue working! Inside!

Then, I got my wonderful friend Heidi a baby shower gift because she is having twins!! There is a Babies R Us right next to Ross. I’m glad I don’t plan on having kids anytime soon, because I looked like a lost puppy in that store, lol!

After that, I met this awesome girl and her hubby at RA for sushi night. It was SO good! I had a wonderful time with them, and was so glad we met up!

Speaking of meetups, here is the pic I stole from Nicole from our last Blogger’s event after Pat’s Run:

What a fun group of girls! I am SO blessed to have met them and to be included in such a great group of bloggers! If you haven’t checked out the AZ Bloggers Network, you definitely should! Check out all of our blogs in one place!

I just finished my fro-yo (because what’s a great night of friends and sushi without the best dessert ever!), and I am off to bed now. Going to do a nice relaxed short run tomorrow morning.

Happy Trails!
