Uninspired
I'm running slower, gaining weight, breaking out, stressing out and in an overall bad way. Furthermore, I haven't even THOUGHT about my poor little blog in weeks :( usually, even when I'm really bad I can at least still post on the weekend. Ashleigh FAIL. October was such a sad month for my little blog project, and to the loyal few of you who follow me, I sincerely apologize.
So, in short, here's what has happened in the past 2 weeks:
*I ran 20 miles
*I went to California and drank a lot of wine and had a lot of fun, but didn't run much.
*Last weekend, I ran my longest race before the marathon - 30K (which is 18.8 miles) in 2:50
*I have been running minimally during the week, letting myself believe that by running ridiculously far distances on the weekend makes up for it. Turns out, it doesn't.
*I ran 14 miles 2 days ago, and I have a 1/2 marathon coming up next Sunday. That's my last race before December 12.
So, that's what I've been doing (and not doing). Billy will be home in a matter of weeks, and now I'm all stressed about that because I gotta look good, you know? So, with renewed vigor and enthusiasm, I will be running like it was my job (even though I already have a job...and grad school...and 2 dogs...and a house to keep up...and friends...and...and...and...)
I suppose I really don't have anything to say, other than that. I'll try to conjure up some witty blog banter for you as the week goes on to try to get back into the swing of things, but for now, I'm off to the gym for some treadmill action because it is no less than one million degrees outside. Fact.
P.S. - Any love you could send my way would be greatly appreciated! I have a motivation deficit.
P.P.S. - Starbucks red cup season started today! Love yourself and go get you one of them triple grande non-fat gingerbread lattes!
