Well not at all!

Just another weekend I didn't want to see end. I feel like a broken record on Mondays, but it is a blessing to have the experiences that make me dread a Monday. Right?
And the past few days didn't disappoint.

Ever want to wake up, roll out of bed and be at the Start Line of the race in a matter of 8 minutes?
I had the pleasure of doing that very thing this morning! My BFF Sarah, my Tedy's Team teammate and friend Page and I took part in the 19th Annual Herring Run 5k... which happened to take place at the end of my street.
Oh yeah you read that right. Talk about accessibility!

I thought about hiding away from the scale. I feel like a broken record, but I have been struggling recently to find my mojo. I would really like to know where it is hiding. Have you seen it?
Clearly I have the activity part in check...
... but the food portion has been tough. Why? Because I have been a lazy emotional wreck when making choices. There is no one to blame but myself. I am the one bringing chips in the house under the guise that I can "have on serving." Well one serving is turning into 3 servings. But I say to myself "you are weighing and measuring it so that's okay." Ummmm no self. Just no.
So it is time to kick my own booty back into gear. Today is a fresh start.

How the heck is it Thursday? I ask that because in the middle of my Weight Watchers meeting this morning I loudly said something about it being Wednesday then the whole room corrected me. Later in the afternoon I asked for a dog washing appointment for my pup for tomorrow then corrected the girl when she said tomorrow was Friday. I said it would be Saturday.
Ummm can we still blame this confusion on Ragnar? I'm saying #VanBrain and going with it.
Since I feel all over the place this week, I figured Three Things Thursday should work the same way.
Let's Do This!

Do you have one of those can't miss local races? I have a few, but one of the tops is definitely the M.O.Ms Run 5k on Mother's Day in Somerville.
The wife and I have run in this race every year since moving back to Boston from Chicago. Now I wanted to make sure 2015 would be no different.

What's the best way to shake out the legs before the Boston Marathon?
Dance, skip, sing, laugh and selfie your way through the Boston Athletic Association (BAA) 5k of course!
And I did just that this year.
2015 would be the fourth year I would be running the 5k and third as a shakeout run for the Big Show. Now in the past two years I had run too fast for a shakeout run. Yeah I got a little caught up in the "race" portion of it. Hey it happens when I run alone.

The weekend of a lifetime. Yes yes I know I've been saying that a lot recently. But seriously. I cannot believe these amazing adventures are a part of my life. A ridiculously amazing honor... and all because I took the first step five years ago to change my life.
So what did this weekend hold? Addition of 11 new folks into my family, laughs, lack of sleep and peanut M&Ms.
