This week I’m behind, frazzled, and really tired from all the end of the year things to do at school-hence the late post. I’m also sad to say I haven’t read a blog post of anyones in two weeks. I’m hoping to catch up on those while recovering from my first 50k tomorrow. That is if I make it out of the woods alive.

{#1-Chester Woods 50K}

As soon as I finish this post I’m off to Rochester for the night. I’m hoping to make it to packet pick-up before it closes and will then be going to bed earlier than most three-year-olds if all goes as planned. With a 6 a.m. start time and a short drive, this lady will be up far earlier than her end-of-the-school-year exhausted butt would care to. I’m really nervous about the race and the husband is not going to make it, so being alone has me a bit bummed. Send positive juju my way, please. The woods look beautiful though. Maybe it will be just what I need.

{#2-Lake Michigan Runs}

What a difference five months make. The blurry photo from Christmas Day and a sunny photo from last weekend. This reminds me of how even though winter can be rough I really do enjoy the changing seasons in my great state. Take time to appreciate this gorgeous weather we are having.

{#3-New Haircut}

I did make time to treat myself to one of my favorite routines this week-Starbucks and a cut and color. This is the bravest cut I’ve had in a while, and I love it! When did you last treat yourself?

{#4-Cilantro Lime Chicken Tacos}

This week I pulled out a crock pot meal I’d frozen earlier this year. Add refried beans, rice, tortillas and fresh limes and you’ve got an easy and delicious meal. So glad I started making these freezer meals this school year. What a life saver.

{#5-A New Age Bracket}

Last Friday I celebrated a new age bracket and felt the love at school. People are so thoughtful and sure can make a person feel appreciated. I’m so grateful for the people in my life.

Anyone running any races this weekend? Full Chester Woods 50k race report sometime after I make it out of the woods and can walk again!

Happy Weekend!
