Death was coming.

Welp, vacation didn't really start out as planned.

My grandpa died shortly free we arrived.

Hospice called my aunt on Friday and my mom and here siblings gathered there with their kids.

Will and I left work at noon. 

Arriving at 1:30 am eastern time.

Slept.

Papa died at 5:50am, we had intended on seeing him that morning.

Is it terrible that I'm relieved I didn't have to see him struggle and suffer?

I prayed it would be over? My memories of him are good, not of his final days? Am I a terrible person? I don't know what to do when my mother sobs uncontrollably. 

At least it's over.

He isn't in anymore pain,

And while his 3 kids, 11 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren, and many grand puppies and kitties (to which he included in the head count) are grieving... His pain is over. He joined his wife after 20+ years.

I love you Papa, I'm so blessed by the amazing man you were in all our lives.

Running

TOMORROW i finally leave on vacation after work.

I will drive us as far as i can get, the goal is Erie, but the reality is probably more like somewhere between Colmubus and Akron, Ohio.

Vacation bishes!

Soooooooo after being crazy sore from BodyPump, i stopped running because im a scardy cat!

Yesterday I got back out there, and posted the selfie whilst waiting for T-Dubs.

I FEEL AMAZING!

Not only that, my leg was F.I.N.E!

how did that happen??? honestly i think part of it is learning to rest with my body needs it.

yes, i think i rested a little too much. i did not anticipate how this week was going to go with late nights, packing for colder weather, planning and then dealing with a pipe leaking.

T-Dubs was a good sport and ran with me lastnight. He usually rides his bike but its broke right now.

We did 1 min walks 6 mins runs, 3 times.

These numbers dont reflect the intervals.

But I am still very happy with my pace.

I was surprised to get over 2 miles as well.

I feel like a ninny saying that, actually i feel like a ninny about all my recovery runs so far.

BUT i have got to start somewhere and get it in! So here is to being more bold with sharing!

What app do you use? How do you do intervals? How do you wear your phone? - I use runtastic, and a free interval timer, and put my phone in my flipbelt. I dont pay for apps.

So What Wednesday!

PRAISE THE LAWRD ITS HUMP DAY!

Two more days till i put this city in my rear view!

Two more days to PA mountians, beautiful countryside, rivers and lakes, and my folks house.

Today i am saying SO WHAT to....

• supernatural premered lastnight and i dont have tv. i watch everything via the interwebs. this meant i had to stay off of twitter. booo.

• if i want to chop my hair off after this wedding, but im chicken shit. im having a diva moment.
• my sisters boy friend is gearing up to meet me and asked her to text me this:
  
• i am pissy and stressed about visiting people when we get back 'home,' why cant we just relax? this is our vacation afterall.
• if i am so excited our besties are getting married but im also worried about wedding drama
• if there IS wedding drama (there always is)! I will make the best of it and dance my ass off.
• i can't fix a single shower in our home. time to start penny pinching.
• if i found mold growing in the ceiling tile in our closet today. and i dont even know how to begin to deal with that.
• if i think it would be best to tear out ALL the interior walls and start over with this house. Then i could put shit where i want it.
• if T-Dubs brought up starting to save money for our next big purchase... "you know like a new car or our NEXT DOWN PAYMENT" - insert WTF face here.
• im a total tool that has skipped running and working out this week. I packed my gear, look for an instagram pic this afternoon robine182!
• if i am still in awe that T-Dubs picked me. I am one lucky chica!

Thats what i am saying SO WHAT too today! What are you saying SO WHAT to?? Do you watch your shows on tv or online? How much do you pay for that?
