5k in less than a week

I have been so bad lately.  Starting with falling down the stairs and burising my tailbone.
To make matters worse I signed up for the O'Hartford 5K in just over a week. I went back to the gym Monday. But it was a fairly light work out because my butt was hurting.  I figure I will run as much as I can and walk the rest. Just like I did for the Red Dress Run  in July

The sad thing is I am in better shape now but I just haven't been running as much. Hopeuflly I can at least match my time. I will be doing the Red Dress Run again so I can beat my time.

Other than that life is good. Got a receent promotion. In the training transition. Which is not fun but I know I just have to be patient to start the next training. I think I will enjoy and be challenged by the new position.

On the guy front, things are good. Enjoying my time with J. Not sure if he will see this but I know he found this blog.  

I met someone. His name is Josh. He is pretty fantastic. And I'm sure he is reading this post


Hi Josh!!! Xoxoxoxo

Life, it happens

I am trying to put myself out there more. Experience life! Not stay home. I am volunteering with a group with work providing Credit Report Education. Had a training meeting tonight. I did it last year. Really looking forward to doing it again this year. Now the other thing I am looking into is volunteering with a youth group in my area. I emailed someone the other day and just getting more information and time commitments.

So no gym tonight but for a good cause. Granted I do need to have off nights so my body can recover. Tomorrow is a "blitz" nigh at work. 12 hour day! Oh Joy! Hoping I can get a lot done. Feel like I am falling behind helping other people. I am sure it's in my imagination. But I feel I am not where I should be for my monthly goal. It's very frustrating. Still haven't heard about the new position I applied for. Oh wait, I got an update this morning from the recruiter. No decisions made yet. Still interviewing applicants. Should have something in 2 weeks. Blah blah blah...


Ok.. it's 9:30.. I am  might as well go to bed.... nighty nighty interwebs

Dance like no one is watching

"Dance like no one is watching" Kind of have that stuck in my head. At the gym I am always moving to my music and quite honestly the time goes by faster when I have good music. Have been doing great with the fitness routine the last few days. A bit stiff today but quite honeslty it feels great. Muscles in my abs feel like they have been used. Same for the legs. Going upstairs is a bit slow but again.

Doing pretty well on nutrition as well. Not perfect but doing well. Last nights dinner was red cabbgae w/ black beans. Quinoa that I could with stewed tomatoes and some some chicken kielbasa. Very good. The beans and cabbage thing was actually my favorite. Came out much better than I had anticipated.

When I work on Saturdays or holidays, (like today) I have my ipod blasting and I do what I call chair dancing. Just moving to my own beat at my desk. Quite honestly, don't care wheat my co-workers think. Sure, they may think I am quirky but oh well. It makes my day better

Went to cardio hoop again yesterday. It's why I can feel my abs today. It's getting better. Much easier class to follow than Zumba and totally feel like I am getting a work out. And I LOVE that I am working my core, because let's be honest. My core is where I need to the most work.

I suppose I should get back to work. Fun times
