One Last Hurrah!

No - don't panic - this blog is NOT ending! I'm just referring to plans for one last buffet hurrah later today to mark the end of several days of vacation before I return to work tomorrow. A few hours from now I will be at Pancho's Mexican Buffet. OlĂ©! (And no, I haven't been eating buffets every day in between these entries, so Mom, there's no need to put the Arizona Heart Hospital on speed dial for me. I've been good and stuck with my spinach and oat bran blender shakes and eaten all my veggies the rest of the days).

And as I almost always do, I've earned this upcoming buffet in advance. With the exception of one morning last Wednesday when I took a break and only did a 6 mile bike ride, I've been running for extended distances ranging from over 7 to nearly 15 miles EVERY DAY for the last two weeks. In fact, during that time I've actually logged a total of over 98 miles of running, which I'm absolutely sure is a personal lifetime record for the most done in a two week period. (It's just as well I didn't count until after I got home this morning, or I would have been tempted to tack an extra two onto this morning's 10.62 miles just to bring that total to an even 100. But, hey - there's always tomorrow).

So anyway...time to slap together a mariachi playlist for the iPod and get myself in the mood for Pancho's. Then tomorrow it will be time to go back to work and earn more funds. After all, at the rate I've been going, I'd better make sure I have enough saved up for my next pair of running shoes. :)

  1. I didn't even know you were on vacation. All that running doesn't sound much like a vacation to me.
