Monday Montage #138

Not gonna lie ... I am SOOOOO sore today!!! We did an 8-mile training run yesterday, four miles of which were very DOWNhill!!! Then, I went with one of my dear friends and her doggie on a hike up to Ensign Peak last night. When I went to walk my doggie earlier this evening I could DEFINITELY feel the downhill bits (I live on a hill ... my whole dang neighborhood is hilly!)! What doesn't kill ya makes ya stronger, right??? TWO WEEKS until the Ogden Half Marathon, so this was a good training weekend!!! And now the Monday Montage girls are hopping ... and if you are following us all the way around you would have just come from Melissa Stout's blog (you should really click next on all the posts and make it to all the blogs ... all the creations are SOOO fun!) \

You know that "sweet spot" during your time-between-haircuts when your hair does really well ... for about THREE DAYS??? Well ... I passed that spot about three weeks ago!! HAHAHAHA!!! I have a haircut appointment on Tuesday morning and I am SOOOO excited (which tells me that I must REALLY be overdue). Simple things sometimes make me the happiest!
