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.

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.
