Catching up. Again

I have been a pretty bad blogger this year. Thirty-one posts and we are nearing the end of November.

Sometimes my heart just wasn't in it, sometimes I was just busy and sometimes I didn't have anything to say. But I don't want to give up on my little blog just yet. I know there are at least a few people out there who like to read what I write, so I'll try and keep at it.

57 days from race day and things are getting pretty busy over here. But this year I'm trying to keep up with running, yoga and cooking while still getting all my work done. And. Now I have Lola to play with. I had all the intentions of working last night once I realized I didn't have any plans. But after dinner when I was on the couch, she crawled onto my lap and I couldn't/wouldn't make her move. We just hung out for a few hours catching up on my dvr.

Scrolling through my pics from the last few weeks, how could I forget to post about the day that turned into a Friends episode...I bought a new couch. A super great deal. I found it on a closed facebook group that sells all kinds of random things. It's a Restoration Hardware chesterfield-style couch and I got it for less than 10% of full retail. Go me. But. For my first piece of real furniture, it's super heavy. And it totally felt like that episode of Friends where they get stuck in a stairwell with Ross' couch and he's yelling PIVOT at everyone. It took four of use to get this sucker into my place. And I will definitely be using professional movers when I leave.

And then last weekend, I woke up early to go for a run before yoga and when I stepped out of bed the pain in my heel was so strong that my knees buckled. Never felt anything like it before. I tried to walk it off when I took Lola for a walk, but no luck. So I didn't run, but I did go to yoga twice that day. Went for a four miler on Sunday and it hurt for the first 2.5 miles. Took Monday and Tuesday off and then ran 3 on Wednesday before yoga and it felt good. Ran four last night and I could barely feel it. Which is good bc I'm entered in a 10 mile race this weekend. Not that I'm racing. Just using it as an assisted long run. But still. All those people.

Anywho. That's all I've got for now. But I will try to keep up with the writing more regularly.

Basil pesto yogurt sauce. Yum.


Before all the shenanigans began trying to get this thing up the steps.

Ignore the messy coffee tables and look at my pretty couch.

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...
