this morning NASA abandoned their mars rover Opportunity (aka Oppy) because it (she) got hit by a storm on Mars and it knocked her camera and wheels out and her last words to the team were “my battery is low and it is getting cold”. I know she’s a machine but I’m devastated. Oppy is the one who discovered water on Mars. RIP oppy ily space baby

This was me today 😳 everything was on point for the

last couple of days and I was up 3 lbs! AND I actually felt and looked tighter.... the scale is THE worst sometimes.

I posted yesterday about the run I didn’t want to do, because this is normally around the time my motivation starts dwindling, it did not help seeing that number... oh well, tomorrow’s another day... 🤷‍♀️

If any of you had doubts about whether sore muscles retain water and mess with the scale:

I happened to weigh myself yesterday morning and was at a very typical weight.

Ate 100% on track and had a fantastic deficit.

Lifted some heavy weights at the gym last night and felt a hundred muscles that I never knew I had.

Sore af this morning. Can’t lift my arms.

Stepped on the scale just to see what would happen.

+ 4 pounds.

So keep it all in perspective, friends!

I did not want to run this morning. But I made myself get out of bed and go. I had to keep telling my legs to stop complaining, BUT (and there is a but) I ran my longest run since getting back into running!!! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🙌

Things kids say....

6yr old watching a YouTube about newly hatched chicks. The video says something about some of the chicks being bald.... she didn't like that comment and promptly tells me:

"It doesn't matter how you look! It's how you live that matters!"

Had to travel for work today so I didn't run this morning (and technically it was a rest day)... but I got home early so I went anyway. Here's hoping my legs don't die tomorrow morning at 530! 🏃‍♀️🤷‍♀️ also had to stop for coffee, because coffee is life...

[runningforabetterfitterlife]

You know what they say about the early bird! Non-scale victory for me today, I've dropped 59seconds off my mins/mile time since I got back into running! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️ hoping the next few weeks will see more improvement!!

Conversation at the dinner table...

6 yr old: Mommy, it's rude to sit with your elbows on the table...

Mom:.... *removes elbows from table*...

6 yr old: *proceeds to burp, volume 1 million*

*face palm*

Among happy runners, there is one overarching mantra: Eat enough, always. Eat too much, sometimes. Eat too little, never.
