Misery Loves Company.

Yes, I am sad that my sister is also a gimp but at the same time I had a real good time with her at the PT. Our tables were next to each other and besides the massage (why do they call it a massage instead of pure torture) we were laughing the whole time. 2.5 hours flew by. I am pretty jealous of her though.....she only has to take off 3 days from running. I will just live my life through her.

P.S. a side effect of steroids is that it makes you look like Casper the friendly ghost another side effect is mood swings....that is a whole other post that I will save for another day.

Pretty awesome phone picture in our PT's office taken by the secretary that didn't know what a cell phone was.

Billy and I turned our date into a family date when we heard the words 'Costa Vida' (copy cat cafe rio). We were there in five minutes flat.

I got the usual grilled chicken salad with mango and pico de gallo. I decided to skip the tortilla for the sake of health and then ended up eating my mom's tortilla. Hey, at least I tried.

Food served in tin foil is always good. My little niece has the cutest curly hair ever.

We are that family that ends up on our cell phones at the end of dinner. No one heard me say that we were taking a picture. I guess 'Cut the Rope' on the iphone is more important than having a photo memory of our fun night together.

Billster and I ended the night by watching the latest episode of the office. SO GOOD!!!

Teaching a spin class and then 20 minutes on the elliptical....WISH ME LUCK and pray for no pain. Let's be honest, there will be some swimming later on:)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Are you still going to watch The Office once Steve Carell is gone?

-I probably will but it won't be the same.....I am really excited for the episodes with Will Ferrell though.

Anyone running a race this weekend?!?!

What is the weather like where you are?

-Utah has gone bipolar once again and it SNOWED!!!

Do you have curly or straight hair?

-Straight except around my face......those hairs like to frizz and get wavy.

I hope you're feeling better missy!

Hate Utah weather... I'm hoping it stays nice for the race today. Hopefully the rain doesn't start until AFTER our race.

I have frizzy wavy hair... can blow dry it straight or scrunch it and make it curly. I can never just wash it and go. :/
At March 26, 2011 at 7:48 AM , Kristen said...: Racing this morning at 8am. Badger Mountain 15k Challenge. But since I need to do 14-15 miles, I am running there, doing the race and then doing an extra 4 on the way home. Curly hair but I like to straighten it because lately it doesnt do what I want.
At March 26, 2011 at 7:49 AM , Anonymous said...: I LOVE, LOVE pico de gallo!!! Food in foil! HAHA!!!!

My hair is kind of curly.

No race, I'll be simulating 20miles by aqua jogging this morn.. YAY!
At March 26, 2011 at 7:51 AM , Katie @ Healthy Heddleston said...: I have curly hair but it's usually in a pony tail or I make it straight.. summertime I let the curls show up :P
At March 26, 2011 at 7:52 AM , Colorado Gal said...: The weather is bipolar here! The mountains are getting dumped on w/ snow but Denver is waaaaay dry. Fires are already kicking up everywhere!
At March 26, 2011 at 8:01 AM , athletic chick said...: Yes to the Office - that show cracks me up.
Weather - humid and 80 degrees. I'm in Houston... we consider this "cool" weather. ;)
Hair - straight as a board, despite every attempt to add curl with hot rollers or a curling iron.
At March 26, 2011 at 8:02 AM , Unknown said...: I've taken steroids before after having an allergic reaction. It..was..an interesting experience. Hope you can get back on the run soon! Until then you'll be an inspiration still killing it in the pool and on the bike.
At March 26, 2011 at 8:11 AM , Anonymous said...: You two take care! I hope you both feel better soon!!
At March 26, 2011 at 8:13 AM , Pam @ herbieontherun.com said...: lol Nice picture. People kill me with their technology ignorance.

The Office is definitely not going to be the same without Michael, but if they're gonna bring somebody new on board, I can't think of anyone better than Will Ferrell. I had read somewhere a while back that they were thinking about John Lithgow. That coulda been interesting too. I'll still for sure be watching! I just hope it doesn't start to suck. I hate how the really good shows always go way downhill before they finally end them. If you're gonna go out, go out on top!
At March 26, 2011 at 8:19 AM , Anonymous said...: That salad looks AWESOME!!!
Good luck with today's workout! :D
My hair is super straight no matter what I do to it......my sister has these awesome waves, though!
At March 26, 2011 at 8:24 AM , Jenn said...: My stupid phone won't let me comment on your blog. You are obviously special because now that I'm at a computer, I hightailed over to HRG right away.

I love the cell phone family pic. I noticed a couple of weeks ago (as we were sitting in church) that every one of my sisters were secretly on their phones-ha!

I'm impressed you're getting in the pool! I hate swimming and all my motivation goes down the tubes when that's my only option. I'm glad you are still able to bike. Hoping and praying you can get your run on soon!

Weather is freezing, curly hair but I kill it with a flat iron and fill it with product to simulate live healthy hair.....Have a great weekend:)
At March 26, 2011 at 8:26 AM , Dorry said...: Hi! I should have joined you and your sister at the PT yesterday - have some serious knee pain, and trying to decide if it's worth running tomorrow. :( Been in tears all morning...but heading to the Expo to pick up my race packet with my sister in a little bit. I might be texting you later for support! xo
At March 26, 2011 at 8:29 AM , Unknown said...: The weather in NY has been all over the place, too- we had a 70 degree day last week, and then a few days ago it snowed!

My sisters and I are notorious for laughing EVERYWHERE and thinking EVERYTHING is hilarious... Which is why my mom stopped letting us go to important places together (Doctors, DMV...etc...)

And my hair is CRAZY curly, but I can tame it if I blow it out when it's wet and then flatiron it...
At March 26, 2011 at 8:36 AM , Jody @ Raising Fin and Fish said...: We will probably abandon the Office after Steve leaves.

Race last weekend, not this weekend.

Beautiful blue sunny skies but only 30 degrees :(

Curly hair which I straighten every day.
At March 26, 2011 at 8:41 AM , Katie said...: So weird that this is your blog title! I have been listening to Misery by Good Charlotte on repeat and this line is stuck in my head. Seriously, as I clicked on your blog the verse, " Don't you know that misery loves company" was playing in my head and then I read you post title and went OMG :D

I will def. still watch the office, I look forward to Thurs. nights all week!!

My hair is super straight, like when I ask a hair dresser to try and put some waves or curls in it they laugh at me :( But annoyingly there is a little section in the back, right in the middle, that does not like to go straight! I guess a straightening iron would help, but that is to much work for me :)
At March 26, 2011 at 8:52 AM , Trisha said...: I LOVE the Office! It will be so weird when Steve Carell is gone, but I'm sure I'll still watch it.

Had a race a few weeks ago...no more for a while.

Missouri weather has joined in the craziness and it snowed yesterday!! I ran in 70° weather earlier this week, so waking up to 30° and snow was overly depressing.

I have crazy curly/wavy/frizzy/out of control hair. I try to embrace it, but it normally looks like I stuck my finger in a socket.
At March 26, 2011 at 8:55 AM , Nicole said...: BAHAHAH! i love that your the only one smiling!!!
At March 26, 2011 at 9:21 AM , Anonymous said...: I got that nappy hair curly hair. Ha just wait till you see a picture of pool/running/grime hair that it becomes during both seasons hehe. Can your niece give me her hair?
At March 26, 2011 at 9:30 AM , Jacqueline Francis said...: utah weather has my hair mirrored... bipolar- today is curly. and idunnope if i wanna ever watch the office without steve. and i'd run races, but i have an old knee injury that i kneed to have surgery on andor do some serious pt before i try running again. :[

At March 26, 2011 at 9:31 AM , Unknown said...: I am not a big fan of Will Ferrel but I love the office so I will probably continue to watch it.

It snowed a little last night here in Anchorage, makes me sad :(

I have ridiculously straight hair. It refuses to hold a curl!!!

Heal quickly, I hope that your elliptical session goes amazingly!
At March 26, 2011 at 9:31 AM , Tara Upshaw said...: I love family dinners!! It is going to be 90 degrees here in Texas... woohoo!!
At March 26, 2011 at 9:43 AM , misszippy said...: Misery does love company...you are so right! At least you have each other.

I will still watch the Office; it's that good. And I LOVE Will Farrell, so I'm pretty psyched about that.
At March 26, 2011 at 9:48 AM , Lindsey said...: HAHA, love that picture! :D My hair is straight as can be, no matter what I do!
At March 26, 2011 at 9:53 AM , CLB said...: I'm running a race tomorrow!!! Seeing that you and your sister are both runners makes me want to get my sister into running. Maybe I'll make it my goal for the summer!!

Hope you start feeling better really soon!!

At March 26, 2011 at 10:36 AM , Maria said...: My hair is straight but with lumps where my ponytail is! So I use straighteners to make it neat (and also thinner as it is so thick!).
No races for me, resting now after my 12 miles today :)
I love the office, and I think the other characters in it are good enough to keep the show going- it's not all about him any more.
At March 26, 2011 at 10:36 AM , Liz said...: Haha.. at least YOU were ready for the picture!

I hope your workout goes well today - keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Our weather is yucky, too - I ran 14 miles in 20 degrees and wind. Sun was out though!
At March 26, 2011 at 10:44 AM , Tara @ Dashing in Pearls said...: That picture is hilarious of just you looking.

Our weather is sunny and in the 80's!

I have straight hair but with a lot of work can get it to have a little wave.
At March 26, 2011 at 11:08 AM , Anonymous said...: Urgh, it was in the low 20s today. It was a cold run!

My hair is kinda wavy, but mostly straight. It has to be straightened or blow dried to not look funny. I kind of hate it.

Hope your spin and elliptical workouts go well!
At March 26, 2011 at 12:40 PM , Christy said...: I wish I could run this weekend period. I would run an ultra just to be able to run again. Being injured is torture, but at the same time it has it's perks like I went to spin class this morning. I was a hot mess.
Honestly, I don't think I will watch The Office once Steve is gone. He makes the whole show.

Take care today!
At March 26, 2011 at 12:57 PM , Shannon said...: The office is like the one and only show that I don't watch.

I ran a race today (5K) and have a 5k tomorrow.

It is FREEZING here in Philadelphia! Brr. I finally want spring!

My hair is straight!
At March 26, 2011 at 1:21 PM , Anonymous said...: hahahha nice attempt on the torilla- that sounds like something i would do!
UGH IM INJURED RIGHT NOW too.. tendonitis my asssssssss
now i feel what you've been going through.. iv cried like 10 times today..wahhh
obviously no race for me.....
oh and my hair is naturally wavy but i straighten it!
At March 26, 2011 at 1:31 PM , Melissa said...: My hair is very straight (ie limp). However, once I had kids, the right side of my scalp decided that it should produce hair that has three distinct waves (not curls) on that side. Left side is still almost completely straight. Most of the time I can make it look okay. Other times, I just pull it back and don't deal with it.
At March 26, 2011 at 1:33 PM , Running Ricig said...: I just watched the new episode of the office this morning while I was running. I seriously wonder who will replace steve carrell!

I have a curly lion's mane. RIght now, though, it's straight for the first time in months. Gotta look fancy for a friend's bridal shower!
At March 26, 2011 at 1:37 PM , Sheila said...: That salad looks so goooood. Your niece looks so cute! I hope you and your sister recover soon.
At March 26, 2011 at 1:40 PM , EBURNS said...: Training schedule says 30 minutes cross train.......I'll take it, it's been a long week. Carb filled lunch to give me the most fantastical nap is also in order.

A balmy 19 this morning makes it even easier to plan for a day with a book, and blanket.

Happy sat. to you!
At March 26, 2011 at 1:41 PM , Coy Martinez said...: I'll be rolling on the foam roller this weekend while watching basketball.

I did watch the Office too! Loved the candles. I think Will Ferrell will be pretty good on that show. Hope he doesnt over shadow the others.
At March 26, 2011 at 2:29 PM , Anonymous said...: The Office was SO good, but it's kinda sad he's leaving. I had no idea Will Ferrell is doing some episodes - so exciting!
It's cold here again, but at least it didn't snow on my run today.
My hair has a mind of its own - it's thick and wavy, but somedays decides to be semi-straight.
At March 26, 2011 at 2:30 PM , Cynthia said...: I am running my longest race to date tomorrow! Its the oldest race in North America: Around the Bay. 30K! Hopefully I am still alive by the end :)
At March 26, 2011 at 2:43 PM , Kate (What Kate is Cooking) said...: It's raining here, but I am so excited for Wednesday- it's supposed to be almost 80!
At March 26, 2011 at 3:04 PM , Caroline said...: No race, NCAA is on! very depressed my team is out, I put pics of me crying on my blog, it is bad
went for a 9 milers
hair...it is curly-ish..I make it straight ish..
I am terrible at taking care of my hair...
At March 26, 2011 at 3:33 PM , Anonymous said...: Oh I will absolutely watch The Office after Steve Carrell is gone, cause Jim and Pam are still there and don't forget Dwight!
Weather is rainy! Boo!
My hair is typically straight but sometimes wavy.
At March 26, 2011 at 3:38 PM , Jess @ Blonde Ponytail said...: Love the phone pic!! ha ha! You and your sister are so beautiful--even in a fuzzy phone pic with a non-photographer. I watched the Office this a.m. b4 my run! ha ha! I love Jim and Pam, but it will be hard without Michael?! Who will be the new boss?!?!

Straight, straight, would NOT hold curl without lots of hairspray hair! :)
At March 26, 2011 at 4:06 PM , Anonymous said...: you are my hero- hope the leg feels better girl- I know exactly what youre going through- no running high is no fun. you'll be back in action before you know it! the weather here in Australia is hot hot hot! I am the proud owner of wild, crazy, obnoxiously curly hair!!
At March 26, 2011 at 6:52 PM , Anonymous said...: I actually have VERY straight hair. I went through a time where my bangs were very frizzy and a little curly, but I think it was because I was getting over my eating disorder and my hair had to rejuvinate itself. Now it is really shiny and I love my hair! :)
At March 26, 2011 at 8:33 PM , Lauren said...: OMG I love Costa Vida! I think your relationship with your sister is really cool. I wish I had a relationship like that with mine!

The weather is pretty nice here! Sunny... even though I prefer cloudy days, it feels really nice out.

And... my hair is weird! It's wavy I guess?
At March 26, 2011 at 9:14 PM , Mrs. JM said...: sorry to hear your leg is buggin'! we have so much catching up to do on the office. our dvr is going to explode. 'tis life.

i ran the riverton 1/2 this morning. my 2nd time running this race. it was windy. .. boo. ... and cold ... but, a good race all in all (thanks for asking :) ..

my hair is pulled back in a sweaty/messy/bun/braid "do" 99% of the time. i've lived in utah my whole life but it's only been the last few years that i've noticed my hair getting super dry during the winter. yuck.

costa vida love = raspberry chipotle chicken salad. YUM!
At March 27, 2011 at 6:36 AM , Pink Champagne, Gatorade, and MRE's said...: i agree that the office wont be the same but i'm totally lame and cried at his proposal! and I did an 8.1 mile race and the hubs did a 30k race on saturday- both got PR's :)
At March 28, 2011 at 9:46 AM , Runners Fuel said...: I wil give the office a try. I do like Will Ferrell, we'll see how he does in this.
At March 28, 2011 at 4:58 PM , Laura said...: I ran my first 1/2 on Saturday - the Chesebro 1/2 at the Agoura (CA) Great Race. I HAD THE BEST TIME!!! But I discovered that runners are kind of gross. Like with the bodily functions. Some people didn't even bother to use the porta's.
Anyway, I am so excited for my next half - the Santa Barbara (CA) half in November.
And I am running the Ragnar in 3 weeks.
I am getting obsessed with running.
