Happy?

I'm sort of afraid to say for fear of jinxing anything, but for the first time in a long time I am relatively happy with where I am in life. Work is going pretty well and I actually have a life outside of work for the first time since moving here 18 months ago.

Running is going ok too. I think I finally figured out what my problem is with my long runs. I'm just not eating enough. Three weeks ago, some of the girls and I decided it was time to get healthy and I reduced my caloric intake. I haven't exactly been counting, but it's probably been somewhere between 1,000-1,200 calories a day and there def has not been enough protein. And that's just not enough for me to sustain an eight mile run below 10 minute pace. So I went to the grocery store last night (I had planned to anyway bc I'm making this risotto tomorrow night) and semi-stocked up on some food. I need to sit down and plan a menu for next week maybe and then really get going on making sure I am eating enough.

AND I bought my plane ticket home for Easter and the Nike Women's Half Marathon in DC. I will be home-ish for 10 days and thankfully it includes Easter so I can see most of my family in one shot. I hate when I can't fit everybody in during my trips home. There's always so much to do. I need a haircut (don't judge, I haven't found anywhere I like in Houston), I want to drive up to CT maybe for a day, old people family dinner on Tuesday, we'll drive to DC at some point on Friday I think and then the race is on Sunday.

And and and...spring schedule starts this week so I have off on Friday! Yay for the three day weekend.

I love this print...but $50? eh...

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 ...

Are these really the same shoes?

I was so excited to order the pink nike pegasus sneakers that I was swooning over last week. After everything that happened, it was my way of cheering my self up. Then they came in the mail. Now don't get me wrong, I still love them, but I don't love them as much. In person, they are much darker than the picture would have you believe. They are even darker than the picture I took. Must be something about this pink, it always looks brighter in the photo. They look so similar in these pictures. But in person. It's almost a different shoe. Oh well. At least they were on sale. In unrelated news...I called the insurance company on the premise of telling them I was moving but really just wanting an update on my claim. Well the really nice man at State Farm took my banking info so that I wouldn't miss the check, it would just be direct deposited. And he forwarded my claim to someone else to make sure they get started working on. Fingers crossed maybe they will get it d...

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...
