Seven

It's a lucky number...and the total miles I ran Saturday!!!

It was definitely a make or break weekend. If I didn't complete seven miles, then my training schedule for the half marathon in early April would be thrown way off. The weather was perfect then...50's...a little breeze...and I was in the zone. My feet did go numb (as they do sometimes) after mile four...but I kept on and did my last three. I'm not sure what causes that.

Saturday night I was a little restless in bed (not that kind of restless perverts...that was earlier in the day). J told me I kept twitching and my legs kept shaking. I had no idea. It kept him up most of the night. I felt so bad. I told him next time to wake me up and I'd go in the guest room to sleep. Apparently I didn't have enough potassium after my run, and that causes the shakes.

Sunday night was a different story...sort of. I was sleeping fine and remember dreaming I was in a lazy river type place like you see at water parks. I'm not sure if you recall my fish phobia...but I'm anti-fish...they scare me. All of a sudden, several fish started swimming toward me and I was panicking!!! Then I saw a large yellow/white snake like fish coming at me fast, so I tried to jump out of the water and started screaming....I WOKE MYSELF UP SCREAMING AND JUMPING UP!!! Of course it woke J up too. I just said "ooh...i had a bad dream...i'm sorry to wake you.' He shushed me and cuddled up to me to spoon and said 'it'll be ok'...just go to sleep. And I did...all comforted in his embrace.

Well that didn't last long...I was too afraid to go back to sleep...and didn't rest much the rest of the night.

Today I emailed J the dream I had and he laughed and laughed in front of one of his classes.

BTW...it was 50 Saturday...18 Sunday...and now there's a few inches of ice and sleet and freezing rain on the ground. AWFUL! The whole town is shut down.
