Hello All!
Friday morning. I’m off work today!! I took a vacation day. Well actually, we got a floating holiday for the Fourth of July since I, unlike most of you, had to work last Friday the 3rd. I decided that I just needed a day to do whatever. So here I am — 8 AM — blogging and washing my beach towel in preparation for the wave pool with NF! I wonder if NF would care if I introduce her actual name into the blog. I’ll have to ask her about it. I usually try not to unless they know about it. Some people (not me, apparently) like their privacy…
Annnyway, so I’ve been slacking a little on the blogging partly because I’ve been kind of busy and partly because my internet has been on the fritz. Like right now for example, I don’t actually have a signal. I’m just typing away and I’ll try to actually post it once I’m done.
So when did I last blog?? A couple of days ago at lunch I guess. Not much has really been going on. Work has been INSANELY business but that’s a good thing. I went for a run yesterday morning. That’s two runs this week pre-work! I’m so proud. It’s left me more time to keep the apartment cleaner and relax. Yesterday the Garmin locked in a signal almost right away so this is pretty accurate.
I had 3.5 miles on the training schedule and I actually stuck with it! That’ll probably go down hill once I get into the more intense mileage weeks… My training schedule was technically supposed to be for a 10K in September (Great Race) however, I should be able to run 6 miles by next week…(according to the schedule that is). The training plan has me running 10.5 miles as my long run by September. Because of this, I’ve (almost) decided to do a half marathon on November 1st. That would be 13.1 miles. WHOA. I think I can do it though. I mean that’s like 2 hours straight of running but it’ll be fun! It starts and ends in the South Side I believe. So there you go. Update on the running.
Otherwise, I don’t have a lot to report. I really need to buy my plane ticket to Boston but I keep putting it off in hopes of finding someone to come with me. Hmmmm. Anyone want to go to Boston for the weekend of August 14-16?? It’ll be lots of fun!
I also wanted to show you my grape tomato plant. Little tomatoes!! This was actually about 5 days ago so there are even more at this point!
Some day soon I will have enough for a teeny tiny tomato salad!
Alright I have to put my towels in the dryer and then get moving. I have a few things to do before the wave pool so I’m just going to input a gallery of the few pictures from yesterday and the day before.
Here you go:
After the wave pool and possibly buying a tennis racket, I’m going to dinner with friends and then The Harlan Twins and my friends band, Mariage Blanc TONIGHT. It’s going to be an exciting day!
Happy Friday Everyone!
OH and Happy Birthday to my friend Kyle who..I don’t think reads the blog but you never know.
