Marathon Mom

HAHAHA!! Get the ’80s reference? If not, you are too young to read this. Go away! (just kidding… sort of. I’m feeling really old and bitter today.)

I did my 3 miles this morning. And decided that I’ve got to give up the running for a week or so, give my knees a break. I’m going to up the elliptical and gym/physical therapy time. I’ve got to get these knees back on track! The ligament pain down the insides of my knees is a sharp, burning type pain. The kind that says HELLO. STOP DOING THIS PLEASE. NOW!!! OR WE WILL QUIT. DO YOU REALLY WANT TO GO THERE?! (my knees are quit the pushy bitch, aren’t they?!)

However, I DID do the run this morning. Which means that all I have left to do to avoid complete and total public humiliation (posting of bathing suit pics both here and on Facebook) is to go to the gym tomorrow and avoid fast food for the next two days. And I will have officially completed a Slump Buster Challenge. My first. I.AM.AWESOME… well, almost awesome. I’ll actually BE awesome Friday at Midnight, when the challenge is over. But until then, I’m like pre-awesome.

I’m planning on juice-fasting today and tomorrow. I could use the boost and it’ll set me up for a good weekend. Lots of salad and green healthy stuff.

Biggest obstacle - tomorrow night is a double movie night. G.I. Joe and Julie & Julia both open. Neither is having a midnight showing in my area (I actually called the theaters and spoke to managers just to be sure.) So that means that I have to go see both tomorrow night. Why, you may ask? Besides the fact that I’m psychotic?

Julie & Julia - I read both the blog and the book and have been literally counting the days til this movie’s release for months! I adore Meryl Streep, Amy Adams and Stanley Tucci and have actually dreamed about this movie. Waiting til Saturday to see it - unfathomable.

G.I. Joe - sure, I love action/adventure movies. Especially super CGI effects ones. And this one looks promising. But what put’s this one over the top for me? Two words: Brendan Fraser!!! He has a cameo in it, one scene. But I haven’t seen him on the screen since January (Inkheart) and I’ve been missing me some Brendan!! And IN UNIFORM! HELLO!!! Which is why, I’ve already scheduled it out that after work we are first catching G.I. Joe and then Julie & Julia. Cause I love my BF that much!! (Hmm… coincidence that Brendan Fraser’s initials are the same as the internet abbreviation for boyfriend? I think NOT!)

By this time tomorrow I will be seriously crazy with anticipation. I need Valium!
