It has arrived!!
((cue music: The Little Mermaid -- Ariel: "aaahhh-ah-aaahhh"))
A few weeks ago, I ordered Hal Higdon's Marathon Ultimate Training Guide via Runner's World. Since Kelly and I chose his Marathon Training Program, when I saw this book it seemed like a good informational read to pick. I figure the more I hype up this training, come June 25th, I'll be chomping at the bit to start.
Remember in school when you had D.E.A.R. days where your whole class went to the library and read a book for a certain amount of time? I think this should be insituted in the workplace, nothing crazy, just one day a week where everyone has to read a BOOK, not an online article, for 30 minutes during the day. I'm pretty sure everyone's brains would appreciate it #justsaying.
When I was little and would take trips with my mom to Barnes and Noble, anytime I purchased a book (ok, anytime my mom bought me a book) I'd insist it be gift wrapped there in the store. Yes, I know, the book was for me and I was there when it was bought, but come on -- who doesnt love tearing through that shiny goodness, even if you know what lies beneath?! I loved those little square stickers that they put in the center of the wrapping, too... <<sigh>>
I guess these antics have not escaped me in my 24 years, because even now, whenever I open a gift or a package my body has a striking resemblance to this:
Anywho...I'll be starting the marathon book this weekend, and hope that my body resembles that jacked woman in the center of the cover photo by race day...thats normal, right?!
Happy Friday!
You're so cute
