making progress
the nice thing about the particular bfe i currently reside in is that i can easily drive (1-2 hours) to a few better known cities such as louisville, cincinnati and indianapolis. so in the event i have a free weekend, it's relatively easy to find something to do.yesterday morning i hopped on the mind-engaging...

i forgot how to run
i've been a little whiny lately about my own busy-ness and lack of running. i apologize. i have been being way too lenient on myself in running and eating anything remotely healthy. i'm working on it. i am aiming to get some runs in over the weekend and resume a regular workout schedule. ...and quit eating complete crap all the time. living in a hotel in a town where your dining options are taco bell,...

running? huh?
monday run: non-existent. too freakin' cold in syracuse. ok, so it was in the 30's, but no thanks. i think i slept most of the day as well, guess i needed to rest.tuesday run: didn't even consider it. ok, so i kind of did. barely. couldn't sleep in for the life of me but it was in the 20's and i was...

losing the fight
the patheticness continued for the rest of last week. i have a bit of a hard time staying on track when traveling, and going from 60-70* to 30* doesn't help much in the motivation department either.after thursday's monumental 1.5 mile run, i ran a whopping 2.3 on friday. i headed out for my threshold...

i didn't even break a sweat
well that was pathetic.after all my waiting and debating over the weather, it started raining and i finally peeled myself off the couch and onto the treadmill....for 13 minutes and 30 seconds. i hopped off for no real reason other than i had been telling myself i could take a break (potentially for the bathroom) at a mile and a half. i talked to j for a few minutes and then heard the treadmill shutting...
spoiler: i'm not exciting. sorry.
geeze peeps. it appears i made a huge mistake by using the wrong term yesterday. by "exciting" i just meant busy/actually having things to do. sorry to disappoint, i don't have a sweet engagement announcement to make like amy or anything. i'm seriously a really boring person, so excitement in my life is just a half-step up from my usual boringness. while i am only a mid-20's "adult", my life is just...

lil wheezy
i am struggling to get things done in my life lately. my free time, what little there is, just flies by. guess i need to quit going in to work or something... (just kidding, kind of) :) my personal life has also randomly gotten a little more exciting (/busy) and i never have time to do anything. my laundry (for one person) could probably rival joy's family of four right now. i'm really not sure how...

the unlucky one
i spent another weekend in the mountains/mountain-y area, ate terribly (mmm free, delicious, warm cinnamon rolls from the hotel breakfast), and once again conveniently skipped my sunday long run. :-/the exciting driveafter an exciting 7 hour drive on friday i arrived in the sticks of kentucky. it's...

oh speed, how i missed you
i still need to catch up on some serious sleep. i'm loving dst and the extra daylight, but i think i'm going to have to blame my excessive tiredness on it. i do wish we never had to change the clocks, even though i never get around to actually changing mine... i just noticed my polar hrm was "back" on the right on time. seriously i am so lazy.friday was another glorious day of not working! i "slept...

this is why you're fat
nothing in particular about today was crappy but i'm in a funky mood tonight nonetheless.i did run across this gem at work today. not quite related to running unless you are a huge fan of deep-fried-anything and/or bacon, and then we could re-label it "reasons to run".i think my favorite is the candy...

spoiling my shins
it only took three years of encountering minor setbacks from various injuries (thankfully never anything serious) for me to learn the proper way of handling them when they first try to set up camp.when my shins hurt saturday from the running, walking and hiking, i iced them a little saturday night and...

not quite queen of the mountain
i'm back from a long, but sweet, weekend in the mountains with friends. we had a scandalous bachelorette party/girl's weekend for my former running buddy kt, and rented a cabin, went hiking, played some bachelorette-type games... (it wasn't really scandalous at all as we did not hire chippendale's dancers....

a case of the doms
the world is coming to an end.for the second time this week i got up and ran in the morning and on the treadmill again no less. check me into the insane asylum please. (i am, however, mostly glad to be slowly getting back to my morning-run routine.)i woke up a bit stiffer/sorer from tuesday's 300 so i took it easy and started out at a much slower pace than normal. my legs just did not want to move....

these vagabond shoes are longing to stray right thru the very heart of it - new york, new york.i (sort of) have an official goal race to train for now! i got my official acceptance email to the ing nyc marathon over the weekend (i know, how could i withhold this information for so many days!) so i can...

snow in the southland
