Home Again

It's so nice to be back home no matter how brief.  After a weekend in central Illinois I have returned for only a few hours to my extremely messy home until I need to catch a flight to Rochester, NY for a day trip.  6:30 am flights = no fun. 

No running this weekend - opted to rest my bothersome ankle.  Hubby and I did go for a nice walk on Saturday around the very hilly neighborhood.  Other than that a lot of sitting around.  I am feeling sluggish from the lack of activity and food. The food options given to me this weekend weren't the healthiest (deep fried or heavily buttered/cream covered are the normal options) I made best with what I had available and tried to eat smaller portions.  Even though the MIL doesn't quite understand (gets mad/frustrated/takes offense) that I don't want to over fill my plate and eat multiple helpings. I think I did my best politely declining :)

Last night started the crazy running dreams that plagued me  before my other marathons.  You know the ones where 1) you end up in the wrong place  2) miss the start  3) can't find the finish/get lost.  Last night I ended up in New Orleans surrounded by high school friends I no longer talk to. They were mad at me for not partaking in their mardi gras festivities the night before.  Also, I think I ended up lost and somewhere else mid race once I finally found the course as everyone who was supposed to be there ditched.  I'm hoping they subside tonight as I have to be up for the flight by 4 am - ugh.  

And in other movie related news as I am the movie freak...  we did catch Star Trek on Saturday.  Awesome!  It's a great action film that I think even none trekkies/trekkers will enjoy.  Perfect castings, some funny parts (thanks to Scotty!), and fantastic fight scenes/action sequences.  Plus it made sense - no holes in the story.  Next up Angels and Demons then Terminator.  The summer movie season is off to a fantastic start!
