Confession

I have a confession to make...

Yesterday morning I woke up at 5:45am. Got dressed. Ran 3 miles. Took a shower and got ready for work. I even ate breakfast sitting at the table. I brushed my teeth and realized I didn't have to leave the house for another 15 minutes.

I crawled back into bed and pulled the covers up over my head for 20 minutes.

I feel like I should wake up earlier to run so that I have time for my post run nap.

But that just seems ridiculous :)

Calling all mothers of 10 year old girls

I wrote for 30 days straight and the day after I almost drop it all. ha so much for creating a habit after 21 days. Oh well.

Today was a good day. The temperature was finally bearable. I even took the pups for two walks, one in the morning and one at night. I also managed to run 2 miles. I ran 1.5 miles yesterday. Yea, I'm proud that I have run two days in a row.

I am supposed to be running a half marathon in March. So far my training has been anything but great. This is the week to change that! Or so I hope. I want to take tomorrow off but the slacker in me knows that on Thursday it will be hard to run again. I'm lazy like that.

The whole nanny thing is getting better. I adore the little boy. I think he is funny and smart and keeps me entertained. But, I'm not going to lie I'm ready for school to start. I just don't know what to do with a moody 10 year old girl for 10 hours a day. I think my mother is dying with laughter when I tell her about my day because I'm sure I was a moody 10 year old girl.

She doesn't want to do anything I suggest. She doesn't have any idea of her own to keep her busy except watch YouTube videos. Which I have decided my future children will never be allowed to watch. Yes, that's me being judgemental, but she is learning some inappropriate things on there. I need help...does anyone have any ideas on how to keep girfriend busy and happy for the next week and half.

210 in 2010

I read about this running goal 210 miles in 2010. At first I was like whoa that's a lot of miles and i'm new to running. But then I took a second and thought about it. There are 56 weeks in a year so really that's 3.75 miles a week. OK, I didn't just think about it I pulled out the calculator. I can totally do that!  Since it is already February I need to subtract 4 weeks because I really have no idea how much I ran last month. Now i'm down to 52 weeks. Still it's doable. Just for the fun of it I looked to see how many miles a week I would need to run in order to complete 2010 miles this year. Over 38 miles a week...I think not! Perhaps if that included my spin time and running miles but that would just be too much counting for me. I am not a math person.

In other news, my mom and grandma are going to be here tomorrow! Very exciting to have so many visitors...must be the nice weather. That's a joke because as soon as they arrive it is supposed to rain for the next couple of days. Real nice Florida.
