50 - minutes late I was starting my run
1 - Barnes and Noble visits with my Peanut
0 - purchases made at book store
4 - times I thought last night....Mike Tyson, he's just misunderstood.
4 - times I immediately changed that thought to  . . . no . . . he's got serious issues.
14 - times I wanted to rip that crazy coach lady's vocal cords out at the Pita's [old fart] Basketball game.
5 - times she yelled something totally inappropriate then looked at me.
0 - replies back.  what?  remember yesterday's post?  I'm totally trying.
2 - replies Peanut gave her in reply. [silently, smiled.  was super hilarious]  That girl . . . she's got her Dad's back.  allllllllllllll daaaaaaaaaaaay looooooong.
114 - times I sat there thinking --- that Pita.  He's one handsome guy.

5 - burgers purchased [ummmm and eaten] last night post-game at In-N-Out.  Holy. Yum.
94 - times since last Sunday I wish I lived in Seattle.

1 - cake baked this morning.
1 - Friend Peanut has coming to spend the night tonight.
497 - gummy bears laid out to go on the above mentioned cake
100 - percent chance it'll be an "Oh, Canada" cake.  Only because I/WE freaking love Caroline, Andrew, Anne, Q, Adena . . . and about 5 others - - -sorry no time to link....I owe you, like always.]
1 - times I cried last night.  IN. Freaking. Laughter.
26 - minutes the Pita "played" basketball last night [ out of 40].
2 - advil he took after 26 minutes of play.
2 - calf cramps prior to lights out.
1 - time he said, "so this is what a marathon feels like". h i l a r i o u s.
1 - time he said, "so me doing tourney play [3+ games] would be like a 24 hour treadmill run, right!"
2.4 - minutes it took me to stop laughing out loud to reply . . . " XXXXXXX" sorry cannot share.
7.4 - times I thought man "T-Pain" knows how to self promote.

14 - minutes until the Pita gets home for our LONG weekend together YAY!

20 miles after a marathon. YOU ARE A FREAKING ROCKSTAR!

Have a fabulous weekend!

Nelly said...

I'm with Rachelle - you are amazing!

Sounds like the Pita's basketball games are heating up! He might need to stretch a bit more or warm up and cool down to ward off those calf cramps!

I'm actually headed to the Warped Tour concert tomorrow, wouldn't surprise me if Peanut has friends who are going - I am usually among the oldest person there at the concert, haha

Michael said...

20miles? Didn't you just run a marathon? Crazy.

Patrick Mahoney said...

Run 20 mile run and then bake a cake. Whatever, I guess that's how YOU ROLL.

Anne said...

racing dawn said...

Happy 4th lady. Have a great long weekend...

Kurt @ Becoming An Ironman said...

I love the list!!

I'm going on a long overdue visit to my mother's for the holiday weekend.

ihaverun said...

Happy 4th to YOU!!!

I decided to comment on this one because I don't have as much to compete with. Sometimes it has all been said (and more).

I love your numbers posts too. Old farts = made me laugh. Peanut having her dad's back = my kind of girl. Pita's comments = made me laugh even harder.

And you kill me with your "XXXX"s. Not kisses. In your post =)

Richelle said...

I love how much you talk about the Pita in your blog. You two have such a strong marriage. Thanks for being an inspiration to us married and engaged (in my case) people.

I'm picking strawberries and making jam with friends tomorrow. I'm running a half-marathon on Monday.

Neil Zee said...

Yay! I'm a "five others"

I love numbers posts. 5 burgers is a lot of burgers. I am sad that I am not going to be in America for the 4th, and I have to go to work. And my sister stole my American flag cow girl boots. bahhh. I want to wear them!

Jess @ Blonde Ponytail said...

Pam @ herbieontherun.com said...

hahaha 26 minutes, 26 miles... what's the difference??? That pita...

Char said...

I was thinking about you today when someone commented that it's be a great idea if airlines took out the last row of seats and replaced them with treadmills. Just imagine - you could be the first person to run non-stop to Australia!

Chris K said...

Can you believe that Caroline said that Canadians are known to be "too nice"? Ha.

Happy 4th to you and yours. I'm predicting you won't be BBQ outside in 114 deg weather.

I'm going to a pool party where the new g.f. meets my daughter's Mom for the first time. Should be interesting.

The Green Girl said...

I can't believe you were thinking Mike was just misunderstood?

adena said...

Late to the partay as usual.

3 - the number of adopted Canadians in your family, and as a special offer we extend this number to whoever you want to bring with you.
