Weekend recap

I did not want to get out of bed Saturday morning, but when I finally did it was still cool enough to head out for my supposed-to-be 8 mile run. I think for the time being I'm going to stick to completely flat courses for my long runs. The plan was just to do four out and back, but I didn't really care for my route so I went out just under three, headed back and did a loop around the park. It should have been over 8 and yet somehow was only 7.2. I've had better runs, but I've also had way worse so there's that. My short runs have been going really well, I just need to get it together for my long runs.


I've lived here for idk a year and a half now, but I still haven't really done that much. So when S found out that I had been to Galveston once, by myself, he thought we should go hang out for the day. I picked him up, but thankfully he drove. By the time we got down there it was time for lunch and we ate at a place called The Spot. After we ordered, and we had both ordered margaritas, the server says - oh by the way, the drinks are wine based, is that ok? Umm...what? Wine instead of tequila? No, that is not ok. So weird. After we headed over to a place called Murdoch's, which is a huge touristy souvenir shop over the water on the seawall that also sells drinks and has a bunch of rocking chairs to sit in. It was pretty relaxing to sit there with a drink and watch the waves roll in. But it was chillier than we thought it would be that day, so when my toes turned blue we decided it was time to go. We wandered around a bit more, walked on the beach and decided to call it a day. It was relaxing and peaceful and exactly what I needed.


Saturday night a few people came over to watch the Glory Fights (kickboxing) and drink all the beer in my fridge. I have been trying to get rid of it since it showed up in my house for Opening Ceremony. There's still some left but we put up a good effort.

Now let's talk about why I hate daylight savings time. My Sunday was completely messed up. I woke up, watched the LA Marathon on my iPad and then went back to bed until 1:00pm! Whoops. I finally got up, cleaned up from the night before and promptly took a two hour nap. There was so much sleeping. But I was still able to go right to bed later that night and sleep through my first alarm this morning. This is absolutely why I set two.

Overall it was a great weekend, it's so nice to actually get out and do things again. And this weekend...spring schedule starts! Hooray for the three-day weekend!

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...

New Goals - Lean

So I finally went back for my follow up body fat test last Tuesday. I didn't really know what to expect. I knew I had lost some weight and I could see more muscle definition, but I wasn't sure. I told myself I would be happy with anything under 30% since I was 33.8 the last time I went. So of course in the lead up to the test I had like 5 cheat meals. Insert eye roll here. Saturday was margaritas and Mexican for dinner. Sunday was brunch and champagne and pizza. And then Monday was more Mexican bc of Sunday. Whoops. Clearly I had to run Tuesday morning before the test. hahahaha Then at lunch time I headed over to visit Heather. The got a new machine that's so supposed to be even more accurate than the BodPod and you don't even have to strip down lol. So my new results were: Weight - 147.6 Body Fat - 27.8 So I lost 6.3 pounds and 6% body fat. Total time elapsed between tests was 16 weeks. This places me in the moderately lean category for women. Moving fo...
