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

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...

I need a new goal

Since running my last half marathon in Dallas my training/running has been less than spectacular. Add that to the trip home and food tour of Delaware County and well I really need to put my foot down and start working out. Which means I need a new goal. I enjoy running. Kind of. Sort of. I know it's good for me, but I am inherently a very lazy person. So much so that if I don't have a reason to get up off the couch, I won't. Today is Wednesday and I haven't run or gone to the gym since Saturday. Sunday was my day off and then I found excuses not to do anything Monday and Tuesday. It needs to stop! I am getting better about my eating, with the exception of my Chuy's slip on Monday. Seriously. I can not live near Chuy's. It's too dangerous. So now I'm the the hunt for my next run to sign up for. I would like it to be within a few hours of here, but I'm not sure what the local road race calendar looks like. I know, I know, I should know all this...

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...
