Tuesday Tidbits

• I'm on a decluttering spree again.  This feeling comes and goes.  I think this one has a direct correlation to this healthy eating thing I've been doing lately.  I feel like I'm being weighed down by more than my flabby thighs.  Spring cleaning, here I come!!

• Brinkley and I ran 6.25 miles today.  It wasn't nearly as easy as last week's long run.  I need to remember to wear shorts.  It always seems chilly outside at first but by mid-run, I'm super hot.  I decided to take the plunge when I got home by submerging my bottom half in an ice bath.  I haven't used an ice bath for recovery since I was training for my half marathon back in 2005.  It's brutal at first but it works wonders for muscle recovery.  The idea is that the ice limits blood flow to the legs and reduces inflammation from any damage done while running.

• I've been cleaning today.  Off and on.  I've accomplished quite a bit.  I noticed I have sprouts out in the cold box on the patio - broccoli and lettuce!!  My greenhouse sprouts are also going gang busters.  My pea sprouts are about 3 inches tall.

• I have early work shenanigans tomorrow so I'm off to bed early.  It's NCIS Tuesday so I'm going to plop in bed and watch it.  Then, with any luck, drift off to sleep shortly after.

• I'm sad my weekend is over already.  I love my time at home with Brink.  Although I'm pretty sure the run tuckered him enough that he'll just be sleeping most of tomorrow and will not miss me even a little.
