Three Things Thursday ...

OK. I'm back. And would you look at that, I'm just in time for the latest edition of "Three Things Thursday" ...

1. Our family vacation was FANTASTIC (full recap with LOTS of pictures is in the works). Getting back to reality is not so fantastic.

I MUST unpack. And we have guests arriving tonight. Oh, and did I mention that the only one in the house that isn't crazy sick is J? Fan-flippin'-tastic!

I might just wait until Saturday and run five and then do a longer run on Sunday. I've heard that if you are sick and it is located from your shoulders up (like a head cold), then go ahead and run. But if it is in your chest, don't. I usually run when I am sick, but I usually don't have a cough either. Not quite sure what to do about this one ...

3. Thanks to Katye, I do not have to purchase race photos from the Princess half. She grabbed this one from the website. Sweet, right? And although I knew I was having my picture taken, I was genuinely having that much fun ...
