- Here’s my mani from last week! I went pink for the marathon on Sunday (my outfit is mostly pink).
- I arrived in Denver yesterday to acclimate to the elevation as much as possible before the race on Sunday. I took Tylenol and drank a Liquid IV at home and drank so. much. water. at home, in the airport, on the plane, and once I arrived. We went on a walk after dinner and I felt out of breath going up a small incline and my brain was immediately like “You’re out of shape! You aren’t ready for a marathon!” then I talked to Val and we laughed about how it was just from the elevation. I also felt dizzy and lightheaded at the end of the night. It’s like having a buzz without drinking. Fun fun. Last time I was here it was like this and I had a great long run, hopefully that is the case again this time!
- Our niece Ella turns 2 next week! I can’t wait to see my family to celebrate. I haven’t seen them since January!
Part of her birthday present!
- We watched Fallout. I get why people love it but it was not for me. Just too gory! I was painting while we watched it and kept accidentally looking up during all the gross scenes.
- I was talking in Spanish in one of my dreams this week. This must be a sign that the Spanish I am learning in DuoLingo is sticking! Ha ha.
- Oh my gosh. I also had the most bizarre dream last night about Val’s husband Steve buying me special shoes to wear for the marathon, but they weren’t bright pink and had some special wings on them that he’d added charms to… like what in the AF, brain? Then in my dream they were size 11 and I wear 12s and I felt relieved they were the wrong size and I didn’t have to be polite and use them and Val was like “I’m so embarrassed.” Thank you for reading all that, ha.
- We got an inch of rain in 30 mins on Monday (total rain for the evening was 1.67″). Every time we get rain so fast like that, I feel extremely grateful we had a generator installed (which keeps our sump pumps running and water out of our basement), and I think about the time we got five inches of rain in a day. That storm happened two months after we installed our generator.
I feel so special because I got to see your marathon manicure in person! It looks fabulous IRL and online. Pink is my favorite power color.
I haven’t been to Denver since…late 00’s? I’m due for another trip. That was before I was a runner so I remember feeling a little wiped out from the elevation but nothing more than that. I’m sure you’ll acclimate by race day.
I feel like dreaming about having too small shoes for a marathon has to be a good omen. I don’t know why I think that but since I do that means that it’s a fact. I usually dreamed that I slept in too late the night before a race…and of course I would wake up way early.
Thank you so much!
Oh yes, you are! I was definitely acclimated, breathing-wise!
Ha! That is the classic dream!
Dreams are so weird sometimes, LOL!
GOOD LUCK on Sunday!!! You got this! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Thank you!!!
Those nails are SO PRETTY! I love that they match your outfit.
I giggled at the dream you described, so thank you for that.
GOOD LUCK TOMORROW!!!!
Thank you!!!
Good luck on your race!
Thanks so much!
Why are dreams so weird? I regularly dream about a guy I rode the bus with in high school and haven’t seen in more than 25 years. But i see him in my dreams at least once a week!!
That is so nuts! I wonder if he dreams about you!!! Did you see that recent Nick Cage movie about him being in everyone’s dreams?
