I miss writing

I miss writing. I miss sharing the bits and pieces of my life. This life that currently consists of immense highs and lows…and not much in between.

Instead of writing about it…I’ve just been living it. Keeping it to myself feels...like the right thing to do. I've had a lot going on, both personally and professionally. And talking about it is...not fun for me.

So maybe, for now, I'll just continue with the updates of what's going on in my life...but the fluffy stuff. Sound good? Anybody still reading?

The post-race depression this year is real. It's been three weeks since the race and the desire to do anything still isn't there. I don't want to cook. I barely keep my place clean ish. I'm tired all the time.

But I have been trying to work out more. I'm half way through the 40 Day Challenge at my yoga studio (maybe I'll do a post on that soon) and I've been running maybe 4-5 days a week. Nothing long, just something to try and get a little back into shape.

One thing I realized this weekend is how much stuff I have. Which is amazing considering I moved here less than 3.5 years ago with only what would fit in a two-door honda civic. Maybe that's something I will try to work on. Getting rid of the "stuff" that I don't need.

But it may have to wait, at least until next week. Bc I leave Thursday for LA. The U.S. Olympic Trials - Marathon are this Saturday in Los Angeles and I'm going. In Thursday morning, out Saturday night. Warm weather, not too far from the beach...maybe I'll even have some down time.

That feels like enough for today :) check out my week in pics below...

Napping on a beach towel after a run...dog hair everywhere

January! 80s please come back so I can sit by the pool again.

I know you just gave me a bath, but I'm totally rolling in this concrete dust :p

That doesn't even look like me. and I def don't remember taking that pic.

more naps. and why are my hips uneven?

So lazy I cooked instead of getting dressed to go out.

I need less stress in my life.

four minute dinner.

All the photographers I have, there was one picture of S. He was not thrilled with it.

Finally went to Weights + Measures. So good.

Had to have dessert.

And a healthy dinner to make up for it.

Honeymoon Cafe is also amazing.

Who doesn't est dessert with lunch?

A good (read strong) old fashioned.

Puppy walks.

Play with us.


Brunch is my favorite meal of the day.


Sunday feels.

    I also only got like one race pic (in addition to finisher pics). I ran with a friend all the way to mile 23 and she got tons! Ah well, whatever, haha.

    Maybe see you at the trials in LA! My fam crew will be cheering on Figueroa St. around 32nd-34th.

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 ...

Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder?

The I can't believe it's been about seven months since the last time I posted a blog. Did you even notice I was gone? So much has happened in the time that I have been gone. I'm not sure I would be able to get the whole story out or even know where to start. The 2017 #HouMarathon, the twin's last chemo and radiation treatments, me accepting a new position with Susan G. Komen Houston, Aunt Sandy practically in remission, I lost Lola, I got Jewels, my second trip to Denver, my little sister's wedding...the list goes on and on. It's been a very rocky eight months. Personally, professionally, any way you want to look at. But I'm moving into a great place in my life right now and that's all I can ask for.  I was devastated just over a month ago when I lost Lola. She was having trouble breathing one night and by lunch the next day the vet had told me there was nothing they could do. Tumor in her left atrium. I  had to let her go that afternoon. ...

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...
