Does anyone else remember that song? I guess it wasn't really a song more of a commencement speech turned spoken song. If you don't check it out here. That's what I didn't do on this mornings run and the speech kept going through my head once I realized I forgot. I definitely need to be better about putting it on and not just because of vanity reasons (I don't need to look like I am still wearing a running tank while walking down the aisle in my strapless wedding dress!) And yes I said I ran! That hasn't happened in oh....5 days. I just have not made time for myself. Of course I have all kinds of excuses like I was out of town for the weekend and it was 90 something. But I came back and made time to go to the Ribfest so that excuse won't fly. Or that work is killing me right now. But honestly I had plenty of time to go Monday but chose to work on addressing my wedding invitations instead. Ah priorities lately :) But seriously check out that song if you have no idea what I am talking about. It has tons of insight besides wear sunscreen like STRETCH, SING, FLOSS, TRAVEL, and on that really hits home for me now that it has been nearly 6 years since I lost my mom "Get to know your parents, you'll never know when they'll be gone for good".
Alright I am off to pack and travel to Birmingham, AL. This job has me gone nearly 3 work weeks every month. I am exhausted and tired with all the travel. 6 1/2 years ago it was glamorous and fun and I loved the perks now I'm old and sick of it every week. Hopefully this will change soon.

I'll admit, I rarely if ever put it on. I know it's horrible and I justify it by saying "Ohhh it doesn't matter. You (meaning I) never burn, you only tan" Stupid logic, I know. It's something I totally need to get on *sigh*
This past week I have started wearing sunscreen. I am not sure how much it is really helping since the heat has been making the sweat just pour out of the body.
Nice job getting the run in. I am sure once the wedding is over things will quiet down a bit.
TOTALLY know that song... brought back memories when you mentioned it :)
Hi Jamie
I am pretty good about sunscreen in general, but seem to forget it a lot when it comes to running.. and I don't know why. Everybody says that the whole traveling thing for work is a nightmare and that they find it exhausting. I honestly can't imagine what it would be like to be away from home that much as I love my house and always having my family there.
So, what is the countdown to the wedding?? Wow, this summer is going by fast...
seriously how do you stand the travel! I really have found that only 1 out of 4 times do I care for it..maybe it's the crappy flights I get stuck on and way too much food that i end up eating.
Birmingham is a great place to run. Some pretty good trails. I suspect it is probably getting warmer this time of year. I have travel there for work sometimes as well.
BTW- I have enjoyed your blog.
I forgot sunscreen on Saturday and totally ended up with a racer back tan. Lately I've only worn halter bathing suits to the beach, so I was confused where it came from... then I remembered my run. Oops!
