Random thought
That literally just went through my head:
It’s almost 10. And 10 is almost 11. And 11 is an acceptable time to eat lunch.
Bustin a gut, buildin a butt
A few morning miles at a nice easy pace. After running a total of TWO times last week I knew I needed to ease back in to it. Temps were only in the 40s which felt amazing!
I need a kick ass productive day at work. Lets do this.
It’s Monday. I know you need coffee. Let’s chat.
I’ve been at work for 20 minutes and I’m still waiting for my computer to load. Cool, Monday.
My insanely busy week last week did indeed derail my workout wagon, but it’s ok I’m back on it today.
Speaking of, my best friend’s mom used to be the regional manager of the gym chain I go to. She was very unceremoniously let go over some political BS recently. I haven’t quit the gym because my company pays half my dues up front then I pay the other half monthly. I just renewed in march. HOWEVER, with my impending move, their gym won’t be as convenient AND the closest one won’t have classes. Is it worth it to go from paying $16/mo to $50ish for a bigger, better, nicer gym with classes and a pool if I can afford it?
Yes, I know the answer to the question above.
The move. I won’t say living with my best friend has been all unicorns and rainbows. Some of it was great, some of it sucked. This move is pretty necessary and will benefit our friendship greatly. Friendships grow and change right? We’re both in different places than we were a year ago. And that’s ok. I’m wicked stoked for more space and alone time.
Oh! And where I’m moving….it’s flat with a lot of jogging paths. Hell yeah bitches! Although I will say living in the valley of hills only helped my running.
I went to a high school grad party this weekend for a girl I babysat since birth. That hurt.
If you made it this far, God bless you.
And we’re on 30 minutes of computer loading time. Just swell.
We know how to celebrate.
My night
First, dinner and two wonderful, locally-brewed beers with C.
Now, a Moscow Mule and a hot bath.
Next up, bed.
Yup, it’s 6:45 here.
I’m a baller.
My day
I’ve already used the phrase “I’ve owned donkeys that were less of a jackass than he is”.
Gonna be a long one kids.
Things and stuff: (as Darcy would say)
1. Thank you all SO much for your support on my race time. This is an amazing community and I’m so proud to be a part of it.
2. I’m feeling super cute today.
3. And loving my legs, obvi.
4. I’m moving. Again. I’m so sick of moving. I swear once I buy a house I’m never moving again.
5. I still feel like I should be ready to buy a house at 30. But that’s in 2 months and I’m just not ready.
6. Work is insane for me right now and I’m worried my workout schedule will take the back seat. I already skipped yesterday as I was at work for 11 hours. Gotta make it a priority.
7. Montana is finally having decent weather. Hallelujah.
8. Life is damn good, friends. Damn good.
You guys!
I finished 16th out of 449 runners in my age group this weekend.
The girl who used to weigh 300 pounds. The girl who still has 30 pounds to lose. That girl!
It’s no gold medal, but dang it I’m proud of that!
This is my mom. She’s pretty badass. I love her mucho.
Things my tumblr friends understand:
1. The sense of elation when slamming a cup of coffee and taking a jog around the block elicits the intended effect on race day.
2. The sense of relief when your sponsor for the race tells you all they have left are size medium tshirts, and it actually fits.
3. The awesomeness of not having to pay for a race because you have a sponsor! And that sponsor is the Montana Beef Council. And you get an I heart beef shirt!
4. The sense of gratitude to your parents for being at the finish line. (This one is new. They surprised me at my half last year, and now they love coming to see me run.)
5. The feeling of HOLY SHIT I’M A BADASS when you run an awesome race, PR the shit out of it, remember why you love running, and start thinking about all the races you want to run now.
