More than Mediocre Monday

by Lindsay Cotter · 05/27/2013

It’s Monday, which feels like Sunday. And I’m all confused. This weekend has not gone according to plan, but really, what does these days? So it may not be Marvelous, but it’s more than mediocre. Which is always good!

I’m going to copy the MARVELOUS Lindsay’s List this weekend and copy her One word Wednesday post, but instead, let’s make it two and call it a post.

Mmmmm.. k? Winking smile

Work..and play

Eat… and Relax (thanks to Simple Protein and Udis GF)

Train  and Rain (plus humidity hair)

IMG_20130526_060456 rain IMG_20130523_164251 IMG_20130523_095149_Hagrid

Family and Faith..

IMG_20130526_170446 IMG_20130520_163232 read

Racing.. not racing

IMG_20130526_150619 IMG_20130526_182746

So ya, the race didn’t happen. Instead, we’re icing, resting, and hoping that the husband’s neck strain heals ASAP.

Maybe it’s not so marvelous, but then again, it’s more than mediocre and we’re happy it’s just a strain. Stay positive, stay thankful, stay hopeful. The glass is not half full, it’s RIGHT FULL.

What’s your one word, or maybe two this Monday?

Happy memorial day and thank YOU to our troops for serving!

Cheers,

LC

    My one word today is flu 🙁 That’s right, a nasty stomach flu has overtaken my body! The only thing that’s marvelous is that it stayed away until after my son’s birthday on Saturday. Thank goodness because I’m a hot mess today!

    Sorry to hear about the cancelled race! Looked for you this morning, so no wonder I never saw you or your husband. I heard James Cotter announced at the start, but never saw him running through transition with the other pro guys (man they are fast, btw). Hope the injury heals soon!

    good news is that it’s not the same injury- different injuries aren’t fun (esp. when the ruin race day) BUT there are lots of races yet to be had for the season, and neck strains will heal up quickly!
    maybe my word is greater 😉 love ya friend, and sending healing thoughts and love straight to Austin for you and James’

    Did I see coffee going into healthy bites? And sprinkles? So excited for orders to go out!
    Hope James feels better ASAP. I swam a 600 today and thought I might die. The respect I have for IronMen is now through the roof!

    Hi Lindsay! My two words today are health and organization. No wait, it’s heroes and family. No wait… 🙂

    Sometimes it’s hard to come up with just one word, but the exercise is still helpful and guiding. I like it.

    I wanted to order healthy bites and still haven’t because I simply can’t figure out how. Do you have an order link on your site that I am just not seeing? Are lemon flavored still available? Let me know!
