I have a really big project at work that is stressing me out...and instead of tackling it, I'm avoiding it. I don't recommend this. I'm giving myself 15 more minutes, and then I'm going to have the world's most productive 2 hours.
DH wants to go to the running store tonight after work. He needs new shoes. I just purchased new shoes, but now I really want to try the Nike shoes that everyone was talking about the other day in Tara's thread.
My long run this weekend was fine. Nothing amazing, but solid. My legs, if it was a strong effort, should have been pretty damn tired afterwards. Last night I go for a recovery run, and my legs magically wanted to go about 20-30 seconds faster than they went on my other run. WTF? Why isn't my body cooperating when I want it to cooperate? When I want to go slow, it wants to go fast. When I want to go fast, it wants to go slow.
As I mentioned in the Sunday thread, DH and I used a local half to run the last 13 miles of our long run. Since we both planned to take it easy, we ran the entire thing together. DH is faster than me, so we've never run a race together. It made what was an otherwise unremarkable training run, lots of fun, and I love this picture of us. I might buy it. We don't have any pics of us running together.
So, not h&f: one of my friends convinced me to join a dating site. Holy fuck, its like i walked into a prison. Ive gotten a lot of offers for very specific sex acts. Anyway, Ive been talking to a few guys who seem normal. Two of them, after like a day of talking, share that they live with their parents. In their mid/late 30s. Now i feel bad just not talking to them, but thats a no go for me. One seems super duper into me. Which is....odd. now i feel bad, i hate hurting someones feelings. Im really not going to be good at this. Lol
I had a TOTALLY frustrating thing happen at work this morning and I'm currently torn between rage and fuck-off-ness and smoothing things over (even though NONE of it was my fault).

That is the cutest picture of you and your H! You should totally buy it!
I am stressing waiting to hear if the latest applicant on our rental property passes the background check. We are 0/2 so far. Sad. At least people are interested? I am at least ing myself. Grr.
H and I were woken up last night by crazy raccoons outside our house. Seriously, it was the craziest noise ever. Shreiking and guttural. I think they were mating or fighting. Took us a few minutes to figure what the hell was going on.
I'm headed back to the orthopedist tomorrow. Hoping for good news, that I'm healing well and to get an idea of what the next steps are. Maybe even get downgraded from the boot.
I'm back at my old office after finishing a detail in another one, work sucks. I remember why I was so excited to get out of here. I have a few positions that I'm looking at so I'm hoping my days are numbered here.
Aw, love the pic clseale. Too cute! DH bought pics of us at a 5k race where we finished within 13 seconds of each other. So we are not together but he bought me a side by side frame. That's the best I can do.
I am giddy today. With all the talk of yesterday's marathons and mine less than 2 weeks away, I am getting so excited. This isn't a big race for me. One of my BRF is running her 1st full and I will be running it with her. I am so excited for her. She is going to do great. And I have another BRF that is doing NYC and she is going for a BQ. I think she has a good chance. I can't wait to track her in Nov. It's all marathon for me today.
Thanks, everyone! For $9.99, I think I'll get it. Also, do you see that blurry boat in the background? The one that looks like a cruise ship? The owner is the owner of our football team. It has 6 staterooms, a staff of 18 people, and a helicopter pad. It rents for 1.5 million a week, should anyone be interested. LOL
al320, ugh. I am certain I would suck at online dating. Why are there so many creepers?? Any recent sighting of hot pool boy?
@vtcupcake, feel better! I'm still trying to kick a sinus thing. These damn things linger!!
cinco, good luck! I hope you get great renters very soon.
mrshandy, let us know what the doctor says. Fingers crossed for you!
clseale i figured id respond...he hasnt been swimming with us, but i see him at the pool when hes coaching. Its considerably easier to talk to him when he has clothes on. I cant decide if hes flirting with me or not and i cant decide if im coming off as creepy, or just maybe im not doing it right? Lol
And online dating is weird. I talk to anyone, people think i like them. Im so bad at this lol

Obviously we are coming to FL for a future H&F GTG and renting that!

That's good picture clseale! If H and I ever got a picture together in a race, we'd probably both look like death in it. Neither of us photograph all that well running. lol
wambam, can I say it's fun watching you go from hating running to enjoying it? That was soooo me when I started out a few years ago. I hope that 225 makes an appearance in a few months!
Speaking of GPS watches, I think my 110 died for good. It randomly decided it wouldn't charge last month and now it's dead. So my post baby gift to myself will be a new one. Now to decide which one.

Yeah, I love it. Not even going to lie. I'm a changed woman.

I did online briefly. It was super weird. I did meet up with one guy who seemed normal. He got wasted on our date (in middle of the day) and that was the end of the my online dating adventures. LOL.
Great pic clseale. And for the $ I'd definitely get it. I do not look as good as I feel when I run, so no good race photos have appeared. I'd pay any amount for one at this point!
My random is that I ran 13.1 yesterday but today I'm eating like I ran 100 miles. There is nothing safe- I swear I've polished off half of the halloween candy in my office
I just couldn't get into my workout. I even tried switching it up. Ugh! I ended up saying screw it and put on my pjs and watching bad horror movies instead.
I am getting ready to leave work to take DS to soccer. It's raining (again ). I feel like I'm always waiting to hear whether some sporting event is cancelled due to rain.
That is the best clseale. You buy it and hang it on the mantle!! Or at least put it up on an internet profile. Now back to work.
I am getting a serious belly. Is that at all normal at only 13 weeks? On a positive note, I felt better on a my run this morning than I have lately. Small victory?!
