My first injury of 2010..

....and its totally not running related. See what had happened was: I got up early (5:45am to be exact), so that I would have enough time to throw dinner in the crock pot , make breakfasts/lunches, and still be able to get to work early... and so i'm slicing an onion, and it happened: I cut the tip of my left ring finger. Scared the bejeezus out of me. Chris was still in bed so I start hollering and it went like this:

Me: CHRIS, CHRIS, CHRRRIIISSSSSSS

Chris: What?

Me: I CUT MY FINGER

Chris: What?

Me: I - CUT - MY - FINGER!!!

Chris: How?

Me::: ON A KNIFE......
That finally got his attention he got out of bed and came to investigate. It bled pretty good.. After it quit bleeding we could finally see the damage. Not really all that bad, it hurt though. I'm a huge baby when it comes to pain, i don't tolerate it, but I have to say I handled this pretty well. I think it scared me more then anything.... So I went to work and when the Dr got there he looked at it and then the nurse put some steri-strips on it.. Thats all there was to it. Thank goodness it didn't require stitches, but I was preparing for it. So needless to say typing takes me a little longer then usual.

On to running news:

Today I did a 3mile recovery run with a friend. It was a good, slow paced run, which is about I could handle. My thighs were tight, and my knees were hurting. Tomorrow i'll be resting since I close tomorrow night (7pm). Probably try to get a upper body work out in the morning.

I talked to Chris about possibly trying to run a half-marathon in March. I mean i'm running a 15k on Feb 27.. The half I want to do is March 21st.. Im sure I can fit 4 more miles in by the end of March, right? So I found the half I want to run and i'm going to register on Thursday. Yay. It's the Florida Beach Halfathon in Ft. Desoto! Very exciting!!!

New Crock pot recipe:

tonight we had pork tenderloin & green beans for dinner.

4-5 lb whole pork tenderloin
sliced onion
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp garlic salt
1 bay leaf
1 3/4 cup water


1. Put the pork, onion, soy sauce bay leaf in crock pot. pour water over top.

2. cook on high for 1 hour. Then set to low and let cook for 6 hrs

I think this was the easiest recipe by far...minus the cutting my finger this morning slicing the onion. The pork had a really great flavor, and it was really tender. Delish!

That's all. I'm sick of chicken peck typing & I have homework to do. Boo.
