Lessons in Recovery Part 1,938,958

First of all, Reese's Runner (GO TO HER BLOG...you will laugh for 8 hours straight) and I are going to OWN the New York Marathon...I am SO happy she got in!!!!!  I know Pam (a bff from Cali) is going to be there.....WHO ELSE?!?!

I know it is like 4 trillion days away but you gotta give a girl a little something to look forward to right?

P.S. New York prepare for bloggers to take over your town and spend their life savings on designer bag knock-offs, pizza, candy and more pizza.  It is a dream come true.

Billy is being all grown-up and taking a 4 hour class every Monday and Wednesday night.  I don't know how he chose to do that over hanging out with his most coolest, hilariousest, best friend (me, in case you were wondering).

After I taught spin, I needed some mom time while Billy was at class.

I am pretty sure 99% of you know exactly what its like to go through an injury.

One minute I am joking around about considering getting my leg amputated or making fun of myself for my left leg atrophying and turning into a noodle and the next minute I am a mess as I am thinking about the good ol' days of running down the canyon pretending I am neck and neck with a Kenyan racing for the finish.

I needed Mom time.  I don't know how else to explain it-I just know I needed her.  Even though we barely even talked about running or my injury just being around that woman made me feel so much better and double score happened when Billy got out of class early and was home waiting for me to hang out afterwards:)

Mom and I went to Jason's Deli and I got a turkey/avocado sandwich on onion bread.  I think they designed this sandwich with hungryrunnergirl in mind.

They clearly liked me because they hooked me up with two pickles instead of just one.

Reason #2 my mom knows how to make my heart extremely happy.....it was her idea to go for cupcakes after.

It is normal for one's smile to take up 71% of their face especially if there is 4 inches of ice cream in front of her.

Expect to see that sweatshirt at least for the next 15 days before I actually wash it.  Remember how it was 27 degrees as I was driving to work this morning?

Hello, lover.  Nice to meet you.

Magically I realized that I am blessed and this lil' injury is TEMPORARY......it just took some talking with mis madre, avocado and frosting to remember that.

P.S. You can still enter my giveaway wahoo!!!! I will pick the winner on Friday!!!

P.P.S. Jog.fm is an awesome website if you are looking for songs to run to.....you enter your pace or cadence goal and it finds songs that are that many beats per minute.  Cool to the extreme if you ask me.

What are you thankful for today?  Remembering how much we DO HAVE helps us get through anything that comes our way.

-An awesome job that I love, BILLY/FAMILY, my blogger friends and being able to see how far I have come in recovery:) (PS if you have an iphone or ipad there is an awesome gratitude journal app that is free and each day it comes with an awesome quote and a place to write what you are grateful for, ).

Pickle Fan?

-I eat a jar in less than 24 hours so we stopped by them because it turned into a 200 dollar per month addiction.

Favorite place to get sandwiches?

-I do love Jason's but Kneaders (maybe just a Utah thing) is my absolute favorite.

Who is going to be in New York for the Marathon.....I need to start planning and organizing some pretty amazing get-togethers/hang-outs/slumber-parties/and ice-cream bingeing.
