Not H&F related but I cannot wait til this month is over. I'm not a big fan of outpatient service anyway, and I was assigned to two clinics with ridiculous commutes. It took me almost 2 hours to get to work the other day. I know a lot of people have it worse, but I didn't sign up for this! It's putting me in such a bad mood all the time.
I had a no-show for an interview at my Spinning studio. This very eager and newly certified instructor straight-up stiffed me. Yeah, guess you won't be auditioning for me!

I like to go for a walk at the development across the street. My development only has 12 houses and it wouldn't be much of a walk. Going to the other one makes it a 2 mile walk. Anyway, my whine is that no one there has their dog restrained in any way. Not on a leash, behind a fence or an electric fence, nothing. So when I'm walking, they all come running out and bark at my heels until I am far enough away from their house. I hate it.
runaways - The longest commute I've ever had was an hour in LA traffic and I thought that was bad. I can't imagine a two hour drive.
sitnspin - I will never understand why someone would no-show at an interview. Unless there was an immediate death in the family or something. Even then, I like to think I would still make a 30 second phone call to let them know.
CrazyLucky - I love dogs but they sometimes make me nervous when I run too. I run around a dog park so there are plenty of people on the trails. It irks me when their dog is angrily barking at me and they don't even try to pull them in closer. I have had to run way off the path just to get out of the dogs reach.
Right? He has been bugging me for 2 weeks to get an interview and then wastes my time. Not cool.
I ate way too many carrots yesterday and I am as bloated as all get out. This is why I never eat carrots straight out of the bag! I eat way too many in one sitting!!!!!

Just the basic "i don't wannnnnaaaaa" get up, work, commute etc. I have a love hate relationship with running and even just training for this half feels like a part time job to me.
i be typing from me phone. typos and grammer dont count.
If one more of my friends that is pregnant right now (which happens to be all of them) tells me that I don't understand what it's like to be tired right now when I'm running way higher mileage than I'm used to, plus insomnia plus all the work ish going on PLUS hormonal flux, I am going to self-immolate and go park my ass in their L&D hospital wing.
That feeling after a long run where you just want to lie around all day. That's like pregnancy (for me anyways). It is kind of like being in the peak week of marathon training except it is just from day to day activity.
My vent..one of my patients wears this horrible strong aftershave. It gives me a headache and it stays with me the rest of the day, like it permeates my clothes or something. Ugh. Pretty minor vent but still...

The weather is finally beautiful here and I am mid training for my first half but I can't run because of a stupid sprained ankle from two weeks ago. It still hurts like hell too so who knows when I will get back at it. I miss running and my quiet time and more importantly I am so nervous I am going to lose it when I start back up again. I know that sounds silly but I still feel like a newbie at this running thing and haven't taken any time off since I started. Just when I was started to get good too! wahhhh
Got my period this morning; realized it as I stopped into the library to use the bathroom before my run. Of *course* I brought nothing with me except the dinky dang pantiliner I already had. Whatevs; I ran my 6 anyway.

This is how I'm feeling. I have been loving my long runs because I am amazed at what I am actually capable of, but dang, I miss going out because I want to, not because my training plan says I have to. Plus, trying to fit it in around mommy and wife obligations has me starting to pull my hair out.

I'm in the best shape of my life but more uncomfortable in my body than ever. I am constantly bloated to the point where I have a hard time sleeping at night. I eat incredibly healthy, work out consistently and am so tired of being asked if I am pregnant.
'Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body. But rather, to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, screaming 'Woohoo! What a ride!' So every day is a holiday and every meal a feast."
Uh, NHFR, but my daughter will not take a mother effing nap. It's been a month. She is not even 3. She is a bear by 5pm. NAAAAP DAMMIT!!!!
And our 1920s original doorknobs don't support the toddler-proof knob covers. So she just looooves to run down the hallway yelling "I'm outta here!" This will be a funny story in 20 years, when she lives on her own, and I get an occasional nap.

Marathon training + averaging 3hrs of sleep a night = brutal Marathon training + averaging 3hrs of sleep a night + preg friends telling me I don't understand or have a right to say I'm tired = unnecessary

I have a whine: my shoulder is very sore and achy. I think it's from swimming "too much too soon" - I haven't been in the pool for over 2 weeks now and it's still in rough shape. It's not a sharp, shooting pain, but I'm also not able to sleep on that side either. I have no idea what to do.

I've already complained about this before but I still can't stop eating like a race horse. My Half was three weeks ago and I'm still eating like a 16 yr old boy. What's worse is I've only ran 3 (3 mile)runs since the Half.
I've worn dresses all summer long and now my pants are very snug!!! Wahhhhhhhhh
I'm so frustrated with my plantar facistis, even though a lot of it is my own fault b/c I thought if I ignored it, it would just go away. I think I made it worse by trying to work out (not run, just work out) without doing anything to help the inflammation. Went to a podiatrist (finally) last week and now I think I'm on the road to recovery, but I'm so afraid to do anything (even though she told me I could row, bike, lift some weights). I miss my friends at Crossfit, I haven't been there in 3 weeks!
My wrist has been hurting for a month now. Not broken. Just strained from constantly picking up and carrying DS. I wish it would heal so I can start doing my bootcamp again.
NHFR, but damnit J and I have to go car shopping on Friday and we are not happy about it. To try to make a long story short, our original plan of switching my late MIL's car over into our names and trading in both our cars for a second family friendly car has been shot to shit by the fact that my car's timing belt and water pump are on their last legs plus there is another $2k worth of things that need to be replaced and on a 15 year old car its just not worth it. It's hard to say when things will be closed out with MILs estate so we will be trading my car in on Friday and leasing something. We can afford it, we just have to rework our budget earlier than planned which is going to be extra fun since we have to factor in our biweekly chunk of change to the sitter AJ will be going to starting two weeks from now. Being a grownup sucks!

@mn06 that sucks!! I feel your pain. My hip injury from my half is still bothering me. I'm 10 days out and it still hurts to walk. I'm worried I might have a stress fracture or something too. I want to RUN, or at least do something, dammit! I finally decided to call the doctor's office but they couldn't see me until the end of October. That is some bullshit right there, I tell ya. I'm just really frustrated and upset.
its so embarrassing that ive done this more than once and that its one of my front teeth. Its not that bad, but im so aware of it. I feel super pretty today
At least i was able to get an appt with my dentist soon to have it fixed.
Youd think this would be enough impetus for me to stop biting my nails. Sigh.
