A Mostly Satisfying Saturday

Well Saturday has come to an end, at least for me, there is still about 2 hours left for the rest of the pacific standard time zone.

I ran my 5k this morning

I bested my August 5k time by about 7 minutes!!! Woot woot! New 5k PR for me!

Then i was surfing the internet and found these cute medal/bib displays that i like and  I’m going to (at some point in the next few months) try and piece together my favorite parts into me own creation.

Once i get it figured out and built I’ll show you.

One day i would love something like this too:

I relaxed on the couch the rest of the day while my roommate made hudreds of cookies that i sampled and ate some cookie dough.

Then i knew it was time to workout again since i ate so much crap!

I did 20 minutes on the bike and 25 walking on the treadmill on an incline.

Then it was dinner time!

My roommate and i have decided to go out and party New Year’s Eve and i have decided that i have earned a night of not giving a shit. In the last 6 months my mom got remarried, though I’m happy for her and only want her to be happy, it was very difficult for me, and in the last 2 months i have had surgery, been sick now 3 times, been basically dumped my my best friend of 13 years, my other great friend that i had a ‘ dinner date’ with weekly moved to Indiana and as of  Friday night am now single. I have also come to the realization that my old running partner and I’s friendship was irrevocably changed when i moved back to Nevada and i don’t believe it will ever be the same. Life has sucked recently.

And i seem to be falling back into this i dont want to let myself cry, push all my feelings down pattern which has never lead to good things. It generally leads to self-damaging actions. Thankfully i seem to be using excercise as a crutch which is good.

Whew sorry to get heavy on you!

How do you deal with the difficult things?
How was your Saturday?

FYI, it is sunday morning and i am feeling much less pity party this morning. Still sad but working on moving on.
