i had every intention of running this morning, but i was up from 3:30AM to 4:45AM.  Bennett was demanding to be "tucked in," "milk," "a snack," "cuddle for a minute," "I can't find my pink blanket," etc. 
so i turned off my 5AM alarm and also used my hurtin' hip flexor/ab strain as a reason to keep sleeping.  now i'm disappointed that I didn't run, but i'm also pretty nervous that this ab strain might not go away quickly. i've been running with it as a nuisance for a couple months.
 

feeling good today.  would like to run a few easy miles this evening, and then finally STRETCH.  i was worried about a couple toenails falling off, but apparently they're just a little discolored.
onwards and upwards.
