To say I’ve been busy would be an understatement! I wanted to blog! But I just didn’t have the time. I worked for 26 days STRAIGHT! I broke the streak and finally had the weekend off this weekend and the last thing I wanted to do was spend time in front of the computer. Over the last month I’ve been lifting a lot, running a little, but mostly I’ve been focusing on making an effort to just move everyday to compensate for the loooooong hours stuck in my cubicle.
Today I went for an hour long run. My watch broke sometime last week so I don’t know how far I went. It says I ran 0.35 of a mile in an hour and I’m pretty sure a snail could run faster than that so I’m going to say that’s inaccurate. Though I was pretty impressed with myself that I timed it perfectly for 1 hour!
It wasn’t the best run ever, it wasn’t the worst. I need to kick it up a notch for my races coming up next month! I was bummed out that I wasn’t running the Philadelphia Rock n Roll half marathon today. I did it a year ago today and the weather was HOT! This year there was perfect running weather. Maybe I’ll do it again next year?
The rest of the weekend was spent catching up with mom and friends, shopping (yay fall clothes!!!!), and relaxing. I feel human again!
Hopefully I’ll check in again sometime this week! Enjoy the last few hours of weekend!
