Fabulous Run

I didn't do much this weekend, but at least I have a lot of photos to show for it,. Friday Amanda and I went to happy hour after work...her first happy hour since the baby. I got home  pretty early and was going to cook until I accidentally took a two hour nap! I'm still not sleeping much so I will take it when I can get it.  Later that night I was thinking about my long run for Saturday morning when I realized I needed to eat something, anything, or I wouldn't make it through my run. So I threw on some tortellini quick. Saturday morning I went out for an easy five. And I ran a pretty consistent just under nine minute mile. Not too bad. I would like to be able to keep this pace for 13! We'll see. Finally checkout out my new pool later that day and cooked dinner that night. Helpful tip - never eat salmon that's been in the fridge for oh five days. It was a rough night.  I felt better by Sunday so I met up with E and a few other people to watch football a...

Here's what three things I'm obsessed with this week... My little sister turned 30 yesterday. I can't believe it. I feel so old. She's currently living it up in Vegas for eight days! I know, I know...who goes to Vegas for eight days?  Meet Gordeaux. A friend of mine got a dog a few weeks ago. And I love him. I may steal him. Shhh. It's no secret that I have wanted a puppy forever. When they start making puppies that stay puppies and come fully trained, I'm in! It doesn't help that the two types of dogs I'm interested rarely show up at rescues and if I wanted to buy one they usually cost in excess of $1000. Of course I like the expensive dogs. Gordeaux is perfect though. He's not too big and he's four years old so he is already trained. And very chill. He'll sit next to me for hours and let me rub his belly while we watch tv. If anyone knows someone with a french bulldog, boston terrier or frenchie/boston mix let me know! I want one ...

I've moved around the country for the last 10 years or so. Moving for work when the time came. Colorado, Indiana, Connecticut and now Texas. It's the life that I have chosen for myself and most of the time I love it. But that doesn't mean that it's easy. Houston is probably the hardest I've had it so far. In spite of the fact that it's the largest city I've lived in, or maybe bc of that, it's been the hardest to adjust to, taken the longest to find friends in. I was talking to someone recently about the fact that once again I'm in a hermit-like state, not going out much, not doing much with other people and they told me that that was on me, I could change that. And it's true. I can change that. But it's not easy. It's so easy for other people to say that, but until they've moved to a new city where they know absolutely no one...don't judge me.    Colorado had an intern class and we lived in dorms, it was almost like c...

I know, I've been gone for a pretty long time. A lot has gone since my last real update. But the thing is, I don't know if I want to share it all. This blog has always been an outlet for me. A place to write, a place for my family to catch up on what's going on with me, a place to talk about my running or anything really that was on my mind. But lately. Lately I don't want to write about all that. Maybe I've been sharing too much all this time. Maybe I will just continue to write about running and food and that kind of stuff. But leave the personal details out. I don't know what to do. I love to write. But I haven't had the motivation over the last five weeks to sit down and do it. Since my last real post I've moved, gone home for a quick weekend to surprise my mom and visit the family and run a 5K. Here's my life in photos. Twin really likes the leftover salad juice ...

I know it's been a while since I've posted. At some point I will do a move recap and update you all in my new place. But right now. I'm just not feeling it. The past few weeks have been rough for one reason or another. Among some other things my running has been suffering. There have been entire days where I'm just not hungry. I toss and turn every night bc I just can't fall asleep. I'm laying here now at 2am and I'm wide awake.  At this point in time I feel like there's really nothing I can do to change this situation. Just get through it. I'm keeping busy. I go out sometimes. Play with my friends new puppy. And try to let it go.
