2 runs and I’m done!

I got up the kids up early to see the lunar eclipse.  They thought it was cool, but it wasn’t the best one I had ever seen.  Then I went to the park.  I was there before sunrise.  I got my workout mixed up.  I was suppose to run 5 min-8 min-5 min intervals with a [...]

Yeah, it’s been one of those days…

Today was a bad day.  Work was stressful.  Everyone walking around bitching about everybody else.  My new assistant is a moron.  I was ready to leave work. 
Before I leave I look up my books, on the website, for my classes I need and print them out. They all are suppose to be in stock.  I drive [...]

I am so stressed.  I know it is because TOM is coming, but this is ridiculous.  My classes began on Monday.  I have an education class and a math for teachers class.  The first assignment is to do a lesson plan.  I don’t know why but I am completely stressed out about it.  I have [...]

Sickness sucks

I awoke this morning a woman on a mission.   I did 20 minutes of yoga and then did week 5 day 1 of C25K.  It was hard.  What made it so hard was that the first half or so I had the “wimp” on my shoulder.  Oh you know the wimp…that little voice that tells [...]
