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.

Weekend recap

I actually went out! Friday afternoon G text me did I want to go to dinner. Obviously the answer was yes. I have a great time with him and we can talk track for hours. I'm always early when I go to dinner with G bc I don't want to go home first, but we don't usually meet until 6:30pm. So I was early again Friday and sat in my car, with the heat on, reading. When he got there, I got out and we started to walk in only to see a sign that said closed for private party! You have got to be kidding me. I feel like their facebook should have mentioned that. So we walked across the street to some bbq place. BBQ in Texas is different. And, I think, not in a good way. I've been a few times and I don't think I need to go again. But it was a small place and we were taking up a needed table, so a while after we were done we headed down the road to Starbucks. And were there until they closed. Saturday morning I had an appointment at a local salon for a facial (sorry mom). For ...

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...

Here's what: March 21

Here's what three things I'm obsessed with this week... The Girls Night In that Deb and I are planning for when I'm home. We're slightly obsessed and have a whole private pinterest board to prove it. Now if only our family would actually respond to invite we sent out... I know I've included this race in the past, but now that it is this weekend I am starting to freak out. My "training" since running Austin has been close to nonexistent, much like K's, and E ended up with a minor stress fracture (!) but is going to run it anyway. Hopefully A will keep as all going. And the twins. Our birthday is in 13 days and I will be home for it! There are  plans to be made.
