Fat Kid Update

Holy Crap. 

It has been over a month since the last time I blogged!
So what have the fat kid and I been up to??? 

Whole 30.
Rocked it. (ok, maybe not rocked it but I finished it)
Cried like a baby over the loss of cheese in my life.
Lost 10 lbs. 
I didn't have any life changing or lightning bolt moments but I did feel better
I like it as a basis for everyday eating but not as a bible. 

Colorado
Gained all 10 lbs back.
Drank A LOT of beer
Laughed so hard I cried
Ate a burrito the size of my head
Watched my husband drink, sway, and sing on a bus of equally drunken people

Started training for CYA (6 hour race)
then stopped training for CYA and focused on tacos. 
started training again and focused on shin splints

Started running with Gotta Run in Surprise
I met some awesome people
reintroduced myself to heatstroke
Spent a good portion of the time trying not to vomit 

Heather had the baby!
I have my partner in crime back
I have another awesome nephew
I get to hold a baby
and buy obnoxiously adorable clothes
people still think we are a couple at the gym. 

Decided to do a 100 mile challenge
100 miles in 31 days
easy? pffft  I got this. 
I am a runner. 
I run. 
Ok... I jog-ish
8 days and 27 miles in.
I need ice and ibuprofen. 

So that brings us to today! I have a 6 hour race this weekend that I am not prepared for but I have trained my liver hard for the drinking that will commence approximately 1 nap and 2 pizzas after the race ends. This race has never been about time or distance it has been a chance to get out of the heat and burn enough calories to validate a pizza binge. I am hoping to get around 15 miles in but the more miles I get in the more pizza and beer I get to have (do you see the theme??) So who knows maybe I will do a marathon this weekend... HA!
If I do a marathon this weekend, Scott better push me around whiskey row in a wheel chair. I will be that old lady sleeping in the corner with a peperoni stuck to her shirt and whiskey in her sippy cup. 
Actually that sounds pretty darn awesome...
 Scott please remember to pack my sippy cup and fanny pack! Oh and my calf sleeves and gaiters... 
crap. I almost forgot... my spandex too!!
Its going to be hard to look as cool as me...

Omigod I think I love you! We can battle our inner fat kids together. Oh and a sippy cup sounds perfect for this weekend. I'm gonna need it...I'm shooing for 50k in 12 hrs. You gotta stay out long enough to share a "cheers" or two
