Catch up

Sorry it’s been a few days since I posted, between. The fire and then mild food poisoning I haven’t done much. 

So we left off on Friday.  

Saturday I got up and ran 

It was a slow run lol

Then I met some friends for a girls day!

This was sooooo long needed. I hacked my hair off because it was super unhealthy 

Before:

After:

Also got my nails done.

We went to a beauty college so everything was super cheap! Yay!!

After that we went to lunch then a hilarious movie. Seriously go see the movie about Mike and someone needing a wedding date. 

The only downside is that I ended up with mile food poisoning that night which meant my stomach was weak the next day so I didn’t go hiking with my roommate. 

Sunday I pretty much stayed on the couch and Monday I went to work but did nothing else.

Tuesday I met my trainer at 6am so he could try and kill me with weights but it was good Hahaha

I enjoyed some delicious beef teriyaki for lunch But definitely have been tired this week 

Last night we had 2 showings at the house so I watched a little TV then read and went to bed. 

This morning I was out the door at 5:45 to join my roommate and her trainer as they run stairs at a high school. That was a good wake up, then I followed my roommates trainer to her place so I could shower and get ready in their apartment gym bathroom.  

Thankfully there was no one else there

Now you are up to speed!!!

Hanging out in my car on my lunch at work, off to the gym to swim after work then home, dinner and bed!

How was your weekend?

What are you training for?

A relaxing day, sort of

Today my roommate and I both stayed home to be with our dogs after the trauma of yesterday. My roommate wasn’t going to stay home since I would be here but then her dog was sick all night long, I am guessing from stress, poor pup. 

My dog is manifesting more in a clingy way. She doesn’t stray too far from touching me for too long. Normally she will cuddle a little bit but likes her independence mostly. She will stay near me but behind the couch or on the other side, usually she is at the foot of the bed but now she is pretty constantly touching me. 
The day was pretty much couch bound. I am just not counting the last 48 hours as far as food and excersice go lol. 

Life begins again tomorrow. 

Night night. 

A Hell of a day

The day started off normal enough, got up went to work and all that, then just before 3pm my roommate called and told me the other half of the Duplex we live in……burned down!!! The fire department broke our door down and got our dogs out, I raced home. They had brought the dogs back and thank goodness they were fine and somehow miraculously our side of the Duplex escaped completely unscathed.  

The other side was completely decimated, everything was lost or melted beyond saving. On closer inspection I could see that the siding of the house melted off all the way to our side and just stopped. I have no explanation except a freaking miracle. 

My roommates dog is recovering nicely I think but I can tell my dog is still pretty traumatized. I can also tell that she was so scared because she has completely zonked out….on top of me which is not normal for her

 And now it is time for sleep. 

Hola!!!

Happy Hump day!!!!

Whew it’s been a busy 24 hours! So after sleeping in on Tuesday I ran after work. 

I love new shoes!!! And they were less than  $30 on Amazon!!!!

This morning I got up at the cracks of dawn and met my trainer at the gym and worked out 

Next it was workout shake time

Then I felt like being cute today

Feeling a train like a beast, look like a beauty kind of feeling. 

Tonight after work I went for a quick swim

When I got home Artemis was a little too happy to see me

Currently I am writing this post with you legs up the wall, we’ll door, to reduce the lactic acid in my legs and stretch my back out

Yep that sunburn turned tan line is still there looking like thigh high stocking hahahaha.
Night night!!!!

I am actually bummed that I won’t be getting these boxes anymore, each of these meals was delicious!!!!!!

Happy 4th of July!!!! 

I had a mostly low key day, I had a training session at 6am then came home and just relaxed all day. 

The puppies and I enjoyed being lazy

I found this Hawaiian punch mix I had bought for the trail and it helped satisfy my sweet craving today! Score!!

The rest of the night was spent watching movies and holding my poor baby when really loud fireworks went off. But now I have 2 fans on in my room and Girl more girls playing and the fireworks are finally starting to slow down…….it’s almost midnight and now she’s calming down and it’s sleep time

 I had planned in going to spin class and then a quick swim before work but that is sooooo not happening now so I guess I’ll go after work instead. 

First long run of marathon training

Happy Sunday!!

Went out for a 6.5 mile run today

Pretty wildflowers out

This was not an easy run for me. Pretty much every step was a battle. This was my first long run since my half marathon 2 weeks ago.

Apparently there was a little car show going on. 

Post run recovery smootie. Putting all those blueberries to good use. 

Iced my thighs and feet, I have AM training tomorrow and want to minimize how sore I am. 

Volunteering and budget shopping

Happy 4th of July weekend!!!

Last night my roommate and I went to the movies and I didn’t get to bed until about 12:30am and was up at 5:20am to go volunteer at the cook park marathon.  

Also I was bad and had McDonald’s this week

It was a small race so that was nice. And it was several loops so there was only 1 aid station that qthe runners hit several times

I was not excited about being awake early

This afternoon I did some correspondence 

Water is a big theme for me lately, trying to hydrate more and more

A short midday nap

And a shopping trip on a budget

Fish and chips, sandwiches, chicken and rice and oatmeal not too shabby for $28.
