It's been quiet this week. I'm sitting on the couch snuggled in a blanket & drinking a glass of wine. DH is making stir fry. I need to be planning an attack for Christmas shopping (BECAUSE I HAVE YET TO PURCHASE A SINGLE THING) :?, but I've had a long week, and I'm exhausted. Pfitz is kicking my ass, work is crazy, and I haven't slept well all week. I'm debating an Advil PM with this wine. I got a promotion today, as well as a Christmas bonus, so all in all, not a bad way to end the week, I'm just tired.
Who's here? Who's drinking? Who else is in denial that Christmas is in less than 2 weeks??

Listening to Christmas music, dicking around online, looking for spring & summer races, and at some point face time with H. Maybe watch a Christmas movie later

Sitting on the couch icing and propping my ankle while kids watch a Christmas show. Debating a third Shiner Cheer (best beer ever) since I don't have a run in the morning. Probably going to settle for more of the cinnamon sugar almonds I made today.

I'm chillin' on the couch <with my water bottle> watching DH play super Mario on wii. I was playing but I have the attention span of a gnat when it comes to playing video games.
You're kicking life's ass, girl! Congratulations! Enjoy that wine, your H's cooking, and some sleep. I'd pop a pm after that week.
I was wondering if we were quiet because everyone's GBCN time is taken up catching up on the marathon threads on ML & CE&P?
I'm making dinner - whatever I could find around the house - salmon, brown rice, and peas. Not fabulous. Are peas even a vegetable? Just a starch? Tomorrow morning I'm running (NOT RACING) a 5k. Bets on a PW? We might drive thru Starbucks and look at Christmas lights with DD after dinner.

clseale Congrats on the promotion! Took DS to swimming lessons earlier, then made some homemade pizza, drank a Mike's. Now I'm in my jammies under a cozy blanket and the cat on my lap. It has been a crazy week at work, compounded by a cold that's made it difficult to breathe out of anywhere, and I just want to sleep.
Was planning to run tomorrow before the snow comes. Just checked the weather to see the latest I could get out, and the highest temp I saw was 12*. Depending on how windy it is, may be dragging my butt to the gym to use either the treadmill or the track. Ugh.
I am stuffing my face with birthday cookie cake, after having stuffed my face with birthday sushi and wine, while I sit on the couch and watch TV and contemplate the upcoming 30 mile weekend. Congrats all the way around clseale!

I'm trying to figure out what to do this weekend. It's going to be cold and snowy tomorrow. I hate winter.
I haven't been posting as much lately because I've been busy at work. Also, I'm not very motivated with my training. I'm going through the motions, but I'm kind of meh. It's hard to get excited about going for a run when it's frigid outside. Again, I hate winter.
It's still swollen, but not nearly as sore. I was happy to realize I was walking on it normally for a bit today. So...some slow progress. Thanks for asking!

I'm on a layover of a long ass flight from Manila to Nagoya (where I am now) to Detroit to home in DC!
Proud of keeping up with my runs while in travel. Had a situation on Thursday where I kept my coworkers waiting to go out for dinner so I could get in a run. I felt like a jerk but I keep telling myself it has to be non negotiable. As soon as it becomes negotiable, it's all downhill from there. I had a 7am meeting Friday morning and then a 6am flight today (Saturday) so my next chance won't be until Sunday.
My week was HELL. Kids suck right now and the other dean was out of town. I'm exhausted. I just got back from driving two hours to take my oldest to her dad for his birthday; I get to pick her up tomorrow at noon. Them back to Denver on Sunday for a concert with MIL and SIL. So three days Ina arow to Denver and back. Gah.
Anyway, I'm drinking now, while DH watches tv, dd2 is on her iPod touch, and dd3 is watching The Little Mermaid. Exciting stuff, man.

I think it was the right choice but it was hard.
Nice job getting it done! It's definitely hard sometimes.
I'm sitting in the new pair of Athleta Powerstretch fleece tights I got. I returned the XL and came home with a small. I'm wondering if I should have gotten the medium. So far the small is pretty comfy.
