Never Again

5:50 a.m.-alarm goes off
5:47 a.m.-up, going to the bathroom
6:00 a.m.-dressed in layers for group run
6:05 a.m-going to the bathroom again
6:15 a.m.-taking Motrin, Zyrtec, Ampicilin, and birth control pill
6:20 a.m.-out the door to pick up running partner
6:45 a.m.-sitting in car in a frightening part of town looking around for any signs of life, or dead bodies
7:10 a.m.-listening to coach share 'mission moment' of deceased friend
7:11 a.m.-tearing up, and remembering why we're running and fund raising
7:15 a.m.-hitting the trails for a 7 miler
8:45 a.m.-yes I'm slow, finishing the 7 miles
9:25 a.m.-drop off Melissa and head to Jamba Juice for a much needed Peach Pleasure
9:55 a.m.-arrive home, hardly able to walk, and crawl into the shower
10:40 a.m.-grab two Presidents and head out the door to pick up the third and a friend to go to the circus
1:00 p.m.-arrive at Gogo and Grampa's and sit down for lunch
1:40 p.m.-head to the circus
5:20 p.m.-leave the circus and take the girls to The Center of the Universe in Tulsa
6:20 p.m.-decide, since we're there, to have dinner with the grandparents
8:00 p.m.-head home
9:45 p.m.-drop off very sleepy friend at her house and realize my three our out
10:00 p.m.-finally get home, try to get sore, knotted legs out of car and limp into the recliner in the den

Like I said, NEVER. AGAIN!
