Weekend recap

Oh four day weekend. How I will miss you. There was a lot of laziness around. And some work, because it's not sports if you don't have to work on your days off.

I had big plans for Thursday, but I ended up working off and on until 2pm. So I went out to the pool for a bit when I was finally done. After 20 minutes, it started to rain. I was able to go back out for about an hour and then I went to the gym! I get excited when I actually follow through on going.

K text me Friday morning to drag me out for a run at the Park. I needed it. But boy was it hot and humid. We got there at 9:30am and it was in the low 80s with some pretty high humidity. The breakfast tacos definitely made up for it. Food makes everything better. Then we went and picked up our race packets for Saturday's 5k. I tried really hard to contain myself, packet pickup was in a running retail store, and only bought one sports bra. Did I do anything else on Friday? Nothing really, but I did pick up some nice flowers.


Saturday was an early day. I am not a morning person. I got to K's at 6:30am and we headed over to the 5k with A. Boy was it sticky outside. The 5k was nothing to remember. I stayed with K the whole way and A was a little behind us with a friend of hers. And after...more breakfast tacos. After a two hour nap, I went to the gym! I made myself get up and go so that I could have Mexican for dinner! Why is everything about food?

The goal was to go to the gym Sunday morning too. And while I woke up every one or two hours throughout the night, I slept right through class. Thought I had set my alarm, but it was off. Busted. So I stayed in bed even longer after that. When I finally got up it was raining. So in the early afternoon I decided to go to the movies and see The Great Gatsby. It wasn't my favorite Baz Luhrmann film, but it was ok. Home to more reading. I read a lot this weekend, probably around 1200 pages. Finsihed reading Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan series. Again. All in all, it was a good, if unproductive, weekend. I'm ready for the next one.

Here's what: August 15

Here's what three things I'm obsessed with this week... If you haven't seen this photo of Usain Bolt winning the men's 100m at the IAAF World Championships, you might be living under a rock. There are five sessions, and some pretty good events, left to go at Worlds. And Team USA is currently sitting atop the medal table with a total of 10 medals - 4 gold, 5 silver and 1 bronze. So...I joined a local running club. And I signed up for the marathon training program! Not that I'm signed up for an actual marathon or anything. This particular training group is training for my race, so I can't exactly run that. There are weekly track sessions and long runs are on Saturdays. The program lasts for 22 weeks. Well but we've already missed two weeks bc of other commitments. E and I will be doing this together. We'll see how this goes.  Towards the end of September is something called Social Media Week. It is a leading media platform and worldwide event ...

Weekend

I love weekends. I wish they were longer...doesn't everybody? It was quite the lazy weekend too, being that it was so hot out. I ran Sunday...kind of. It was so hot, I hadn't had enough water, or food for that matter, so I cut my run short. And then we opted to eat out instead of cooking. I really need to cook this week. And maybe not drink. Except I have half a bottle of red left over from last night's Bachelorette finale fiesta with E.  Monday. Oh Monday. Cancelled my run once again when the car told me it was 102 outside. Can't wait to be able to run in the mornings. Last night was the Bachelorette season finale so E came over for dinner and some wine. I now love sweet potatoes and I may have had a little too much to drink. And then decided it was a good time to update my iOS on my iphone. I'm still trying to get my phone back to where it should be. It made me do a complete restore, then I couldn't restore from a current backup and when I was f...

Insurance process

Ok, so who has ever had their place broken into? First I filed the police report. Then after I actually had a handle on what really was missing I amended the police report. I gathered all of the documentation I could find for the things that were missing - it's amazing how often I just throw away the receipts - and sent that along with an itemized list to the insurance company. Now what? How long will this take? The one guy I spoke to said that they have 15 days to process the claim, but that it usually gets done sooner. Will I hear from them in the meantime? I called my new apartment complex yesterday. I am supposed to be moving on August 31 but naturally I want to get out of here as soon as possible. They told me the current tenant moves out on the 19th and that they may be able to get me in that weekend - the 24th or 25th. They were going to check on a few things and let me know. That would be fantastic. I'm not necessarily afraid to be in my current apartment. But I...
