So today I am determined to run 1.65 miles on my 5k race route. I think this should take me approximately 20 minutes. WTF am I thinking?? Can I even do it? It wouldn’t be that bad, but then I remembered there is a crappy hill before the last turn downward… can I make it? [...]
Last night I timed my mile… 13:45. Gah. Embarassing. I am really starting to hate running on the treadmill because I really feel like it does a number on me mentally. Those big red numbers ticking away just seem to be taunting me, and then I just focus on how tired I am, and then…I [...]
Just a quickie:
So Victoria’s Secret was having a sale on their swimsuits, so I went ahead and ordered the one I’d been eyeing for awhile… I know, I know! Here it is:
Here’s the kicker, I ordered it in a LARGE. Keep in mind that I usually only buy underwear from VS because I’m too fat [...]
From reading the Playa del Carmen TripAdvisor forum, you’d think it’s the Apocalypse! I can’t count how many people asked me yesterday if we were still planning our trip to Mexico in July. Um…yes! No amount of pig flu is going to stop me from enjoying a frozen margarita on the beach! Really, give it [...]
I ran the 5k on Friday and Sunday. Friday was awesome, Sunday was not so awesome. I still ran longer than I’ve ever run (13 minutes, plus another 7 minutes), but I just felt like poop. I think I needed a longer rest day in between running the 5k. So I’ll give it a rest [...]
well today is my last official day of vacation before returning to work on Monday. I’m so glad I still have the weekend to relax, as today I need to go to the DMV (ugh!!) and apply for a lost title. Having moved 4 times over the past 6 years, I seem to have lost [...]
Well I made it back to Colorado without incident yesterday. I think you can rank flying right up there with my fear/hatred of driving in the snow. Every little bump freaks me out and all I can think of is “what if we fall out of the sky?” Even though no plane in the history [...]
yesterday I woke up with a wicked stomach ache… went back and forth between cramping and nausea. I figured it was just nerves about the snow and traveling, but I couldn’t hold anything down. Today is a bit better but I only ate half a sandwich for lunch and feel sick still. So needless to [...]
DH called around noon and said it was starting to get nasty so I might want to think about heading home. It really wasn’t bad until I got out east by our house. Freezing rain (think of a downpour, but with ice pellets!), even some thunder, and it is just plain pummeling us right now. [...]
I should not be singing Christmas carols in April! Mother Nature, are you a bitter, scorned old woman? What gives?! It’s coming down pretty good right now, and they’ve already canceled flights from the Springs and Denver (great…). Hopefully they get their act together by tomorrow morning, but who knows. This storm is supposed to [...]
