Three things Thursday

Furiture -

The sofa is expected to arrive at the warehouse on Saturday which would make it available for delivery some time next week. Sigh. And why should we beleive you this time?!? I'll feel a lot better when they tell me that they actually have it in stock. Until then, we're being all trendy with a couple of card table chairs making due...

Fasting Blood Work -

Today is my annual "health for life" blood work. Which requires 12 hr fasting. Which means I'm hungry and decaffeinated. And cranky. Very very crankky. I'm thinking of taking coffee with me to the lab...so I can have it immediately after they draw blood. Can you say addict?!

Run Schedule -

I'm supposed to be running 3 times per week. The plan is Sat long run. Sunday recovery run. And a shortish run either Tuesday or Thursday with the group. This week I made it on Tuesday so I can take today off. Which is nice, because another storm came through and it is raining at the moment. Yeah, sure, I'm well aware that many of you run in the rain. I'm a weather adverse desert dweller so you gotta' cut me some slack...

  1. I hope they come through with the couch this time!


    Ack, I have to fast for my annual blood work next week. The appointment is not until 10 and usually my doc does his check up BEFORE sending me for blood work. Nothing to eat or drink til 11? Help me!

  5. I am so happy to hear that the sofa is set to come on Saturday!! I feel for you on the whole fasting for the blood work thing! I get the same way...very cranky..but for me I would call it something else:) The Big B word comes to mind:) I hope that you have a great day Lisa!

  6. Hope the furniture finally shows up and is the right stuff.

    There is a school of thought that there is no such thing as a recovery run. Might want to make the day after the run as a cross training opportunity to get a short bike ride in and spread the runs out in the week.

    Just a thought.

    I hate fasting blood work. They really expect me to get two kids ready for school without food OR caffeine? Really?

  10. I hope that all of your blood work turns out great! I hate fasting. I always thought it was the worst when I was pregnant and they made me fast for the diabetes test. Now that is just plain cruel to have a hormonal pregnant woman not eat! Okay, I am done with my tangent :-)Have a great night!

  12. I waited 9 months for a sofa once. I think it was gestating somewhere...

    I can run in sub 7, snow etc but heat and rain are not my friends so I feel ya.

    GL with the bloodwork!

  14. Hate, Hate, HATE, furniture companies. I think they're big, fat, liars--all of them!

    So there.

    Yeah, I'd take the coffee with me. I've actually done that before...

  16. As if getting stuck with a needle isn't bad enough....they force you to go without food or drink too, that's just mean.

  17. I really like your Three Things Thursday. :)

    Yeah, we don't get a lot of rain here, either! It has been interesting, to say the least. We're getting much needed rain, though, but I still don't have proper gear for running in the rain.

    I hope your sofa shows up soon!

  18. fingers crossed for your couch early next week! i'm sure those card table chairs are nice and all... but i'm going to guess not as comfy as the couch :)
