Niki's Neverending Adventure

The allergies that I had a week ago have now turned into a full blown cold. Stuffiness, congestion, plugged ears, and coughing up some pretty nasty stuff is no fun! I had planned on getting up early and going for a 7 miler this morning, but when my alarm went off I didn’t feel so hot. Not to mention, my quads are crazy sore from the lunges I did 2 days ago!! Like, it hurts to walk and sit down sore! I told myself, only do light leg work because you want to run in 2 days, and I thought I did light leg work! Haha, embarrassing!! Needless to say, I decided I needed rest more than I needed a 7 miler, so I went back to sleep until about 7am. I feel definitely more refreshed but still kinda yucky. I also feel guilty now for not running barely at all this week:( Blah. Hopefully I will feel better and can get a run in, in the next few days. I just feel so tired!

I did get out for a nice, slow walk with Sadie. It felt kinda nice outside with the breeze but I’m sure it’s still going to be SUPER hot today! I also did a mini ab session in between my Anatomy reading. I had 150+ pages of textbook to read by Saturday and I am down to 15 more pages left! That’s a ton of reading I did today and yesterday!

I am currently waiting on a pound cake to come out of the oven. Al has this LOVE of plain pound cake and brought me his grandma’s recipe a while back. Well, something must have been written down wrong on that recipe because I tried it twice, and each time it overflowed in the oven! So I researched it and figured out it was probably 2 tsp of baking powder and not 2 TBSP! Haha, no wonder it was overflowing!! So I changed it up a little bit this time and so far so good! Hopefully it turns out yummy!!

On the wedding front, I think we have narrowed the venue down and hopefully if the date is available we will book it! I will let ya’ll in on which one it is when I know for sure!! Hope everyone has a great Thursday! Can’t wait for the weekend!!
