Yesterday a bunch of CRUD came crashing down onto my head and right shoulder from a really high shelf.  It gave me a really lousy head, neck and shoulder ache all day :(  I felt better by bed time but woke up at 2am feeling pretty horrible.   Anyway, by about 5:30 I knew I had better trash the run plans and try to get some sleep.  Me and no sleep makes for a really bad several days and brain pain that never goes away!!!! (Ok -it stays around for a few days)  I slept in and lazed about and by about 2, I was feeling MUCH better and decided to try a run.  I thought I'd do a little loop to test the waters.  It was a bit too long and had to VPB behind a low wall next to a dead deer :p   Oh, did I mention, whenever my head hurts it gives me nasty tummy troubles??  Any hoo, I came home and fueled and hit the last 4 miles.  The last two were with a crappy head wind and RAIN!!  Oh, I had to yell at a STUPID driver too about a 1/2 mile from home.  He seriously was going to run me over.  I need to take plate numbers and have my cop friend scare the crap out of them!  ARG!!

My tummy and head are feeling OK at the moment.  I really want a shower, but my bathroom has been taken over by 4 teenagers doing Anna's hair for prom tonight.  I hope no one lights a match, there is so much hair spray in the air, the house would BLOW UP!!!

Happy Easter!!!  xoxoxoxoxo

I am going to bed as soon as I get showered!

So sorry about the headache and no sleep. WOW! you put in 11 miles with headache and tummy issues. Check out those splits on the last miles. WAY to finish strong with headwind to boot. Anna must be gorgeous. Promp...FUN!!! Hope you took lotsa pictures. Sleep tight and get better.

From Marion on Sat, Apr 11, 2009 at 20:53:33 from 71.219.49.63

Smooth- She looks SO beautiful! She is a major non-princess, so it is really fun to see her all girlied up :) I'll post the pic's tomorrow :)

From Smooth on Sat, Apr 11, 2009 at 20:56:33 from 70.56.102.54

Marion ~ Have I ever told you that Larry says you're a VERY BEAUTIFUL lady. So I'm not surprised that Anna takes after you in the BEAUTY gene pool. Can't wait to see those pics.

From RAD on Sat, Apr 11, 2009 at 21:47:29 from 67.166.99.8

I'm so glad you're feeling better! We missed your whipped cream this morning - we only had juice and cookies :) You did a great job getting those miles in with the aches and pains and stinky drivers and wind!!! You're doing awesome keeping those miles and pace up. Are you running SL next weekend?

From Marion on Sat, Apr 11, 2009 at 22:03:20 from 71.219.51.238

RAchel- I am not running SLc next week.. I have to get in 17 and I am kinda FREAKED OUT!!! :) I will think about y'all! I had some whipping cream & hot chocolate at about 4:30 am in attempts to make myself feel better :) I think it did not help :(

Smooth- you and Larry make me blush :) Thanks for being so kind :D Anna is a very cute girl. One of my favorite things about her is that she is very independent and NOT boy crazy, like her mother was.

From richgirl97 on Sat, Apr 11, 2009 at 22:16:03 from 206.251.47.183

Way to push through on the run Marion! That is seriously impressive! And I can't believe it's prom already. Can't WAIT to see pictures tomorrow!!!

From Metcalf Running on Sat, Apr 11, 2009 at 23:01:29 from 71.219.132.113

Way to get out and get the miles in :) You go girlie!!! I hope all the head and tummy trouble get feeling better soon. Here to a good nights sleep, I'm hoping for one also.

From Burt on Sat, Apr 11, 2009 at 23:10:23 from 98.167.151.26

Happy Easter to you. Sorry about your head.

From april27 on Sun, Apr 12, 2009 at 01:09:14 from 99.188.251.180

Wow prom already?? seems like it is sooo early!

And you are my hero! Running after having stuff fall on you, with a head and tummy ache! Yup you are my hero!

From MichelleL on Sun, Apr 12, 2009 at 11:14:42 from 71.35.250.102

Good job getting out there under adversity. Amazon goddess is taking over.

I will still be xtraining next Saturday, I could carry water/play cheerleader for part of your run on bike. I can't bike for that long yet, but I could do the first half or second half, looping back and yelling at you or handing you a gu, whatever you'd want or need.

From Marion on Sun, Apr 12, 2009 at 12:30:20 from 71.219.55.209

Yeah Michelle! Yipee for cross training :) I'd love some company! You can be my camel ;) I want to start at about 6, so you can come early or meet me 1/2 way-ish :) Are you saying that you can't ride a bike for the FOUR hours it is going to take me to ride SEVENTEEN miles???? ;D

From tarzan on Sun, Apr 12, 2009 at 16:46:16 from 97.117.61.168

Marion - why don't you run 15 with me in Provo next Saturday and then to 18 up in Ogden (the WRC 30K) the next Saturday. Leslie and I are going to run in and I think Metcalf Running will be there.

C'mon - you know you want to :)

From Marion on Sun, Apr 12, 2009 at 21:44:17 from 71.219.55.209

Maurine- I 'd love to do the 18 with y'all, but it is Fords Baptism on the 25th at 10 am ;) I am not that fast ;)

I am gonna have to figure out the 18th. Gotta straighten the house and get the boys to bed- I'll be back ;)

From tarzan on Sun, Apr 12, 2009 at 21:46:18 from 97.117.61.168

Yeah - I guess that would have to come first.

From Marion on Sun, Apr 12, 2009 at 21:51:30 from 71.219.55.209

I don't want to pick up the house or put the boys to bed.... I WANT TO GO TO BED!! I fear I ate too many treats today and the body says- GO TO BED!!!! :)

How is twilight? (I am going to check my email in between pick up rounds ;)

From tarzan on Sun, Apr 12, 2009 at 21:56:00 from 97.117.61.168

Twilight - interesting question....

She is getting a good workout. My sister bought another Yorkie pup that is a few weeks younger than Twilight. Anyway - Twilight's mommy is 'in heat' and Porter Rockwell the dog was being a pain. He is staying with us for the next week or so and Twilight is busy convincing him that he needs to keep 'his paws off of her'.

From Marion on Sun, Apr 12, 2009 at 22:04:48 from 71.219.55.209

Sounds like Porter is a puppy molester!!!

From tarzan on Sun, Apr 12, 2009 at 22:07:36 from 97.117.61.168

Yep - he is. But Twilight is very good about putting him in his place (which is not on her).

From Burt on Mon, Apr 13, 2009 at 00:10:50 from 98.167.151.26

MichelleL's stock just went up 5 times in my book. Matthew 23:11 - But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.

Marion, don't you see that the greatest among us has offered to be your servant?

From MichelleL on Mon, Apr 13, 2009 at 07:31:28 from 71.35.250.102

Knock it off Burt. If you could hang with Marion you'd know who'd get the boost from the arrangement. She's like a good vibe super generator.

From Marion on Mon, Apr 13, 2009 at 09:37:49 from 71.219.55.209

Burt- you are right about Michelle :) She is the COOLEST!!! ...but she really likes hanging out with me because I am crazier than she is and it makes her feel better :D

I think I am going to go mow the lawn. I've been dying to do it for weeks now. (see, I told you I was NUTS!!!)
