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

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
