I know, it's been practically forever. It's weird the way I go through times where I want to post every day and then I go through times that I can't think of one single thing to pass along. Today is a weird mix. Nothing is solidified enough to warrant a whole post on it's own, but there's more than a single blurb.
DH and I are running in his first half marathon this weekend. He's totally ready for it and is stoked to be doing this. I, on the other hand, am feeling less than ready. I know that running is a mental game, almost 99% of the game. And my mental game is waaaaaay off. This half is owning me right now. I've got to figure out how to beat the game and it's gotta happen before Sunday. Part of the owning comes from the fact that I have yet to run a race with pleasant weather. I apologize in advance for any adverse weather conditions in the Dallas area on Sunday.
I made a playlist for running, in a related note. It's 7 hours long. Please, Lord, tell me that it won't take me 7 hours to finish this run coming up!
My best friend got engaged this past week and I could not be happier. She deserves every second of happiness that she is given.
The allergies here are ridiculous and I have the red swollen eye to prove it. All I did was spend about an hour outside and it looked like I'd been punched. Ok, maybe an exaggeration, but it wasn't pretty and it felt really crappy. Maybe it's whatever the heck is blowing in from Colorado and New Mexico. My system has reduced itself to only handling the horrible Texas allergies and cannot handle anything new.
Work continues to be less than stellar in some ways and better in other ways. At least I know my manager has my back.
Puppy has worn herself out tonight. I love watching her play and figure things out. She came barreling into my room tonight with her Kong and tried to jump up on the bed. Which she can do when she doesn't have a Kong half the size of herself in her mouth. She dropped it next to the bed, jumped up and then proceeded to look over the edge of the mattress at the Kong, then at me, then back at the Kong. Clearly the look said "A little help?" She eventually figured out the angle that she needed to hold it in her mouth so that she could jump up and make it onto the mattress.
Well, spunky showkids, that's all I got.

Great update--especially since I have been checked out of blogland for a week, too. I just haven't felt very inspired :-/
ReplyDeleteHow did the half-marathon go? I did a 5k Saturday and am happy to report that I did a walk/run combo. I have mad respect for anyone who runs--especially a half-marathon. That means you are officially my hero of the day!
Melissa, you are my favorite person because I don't think I've ever been anyone's hero! DH paced me and we actually did really great! I was totally surprised! Around the 10 mile mark there was a huge clap of thunder and some lightening which made me run a lot faster. I was convinced there would be a tornado because I have had the worst luck with running weather.
DeleteCongratulations on doing the 5K!!!! All that matters is that you are out there doing it, not how it gets done!
On the blogging note, I agree. Why is it that things just don't translate to the page even as they rattle around in our brains?
