Oh hai, to the 4 people that are possibly reading this blog. I had to hiatus again, it has not been pretty. But I'd like to think I'm on the mend. I sort of hit the wall, so to speak. After my last bout with hormone hell I also had a couple weeks of car trouble, which produces extreme money stress in my life. I was also battling a few weird episodes of near passing out/very dizzy/disoriented, etc etc etc. There's a lot more I could go into but it's really not necessary, let's just say there was a ton of physical stuff going on which culminated in wearing on my mental state in a big bad way. So I had to cut everything out other than my main full time job and just rest. I've had a couple dr's appointments, one for testing - 6 vials of blood and FINALLY got the hormone saliva testing done. Just waiting on the results. The other appointment was just regular because I've had major sinus issues and wanted to chop my head off. Sinus infection, antibiotics to the rescue. I am feeling better but not 100%. I'd say, maybe 75%? Yep.
I went to the gym for the first time in almost 2 weeks today. I did a mile in 12:39. Yes I'm slow as a turtle, but I did it and it felt okay. I have 3 upcoming races the next 3 consecutive Saturdays and I'm not where I'd like to be for them, but I'll be completing them regardless if I have to walk them or not. JMU Homecoming 5K this Saturday, Real Girl's Run 6K next Saturday and the Bridgewater Homecoming 5K on the 15th. Nothing major, just going to treat them like training runs on the treadmill and do what I can.
One of my blog friends, Cely, or should I say stalkees? I never comment on her posts, I just love reading (stalking?) her blog - anyway she signed up for an Ultra 50K. I mean, wow. Just WOW. I have trouble doing a 5K. Go Cely go.
Also I came across this little gem and I'd love to have one! Although I only have a shower in my bathroom, there is a tub in the townhouse I share with my roommate which we call "her" bathroom. I don't think she'd mind if I used it with my little caddy where I could put my glass of wine and a candle. And there's even room on there for the bottle of wine so I could refill my glass. Priorities.
So what's next? Another run, probably tomorrow, 2 miles would be good. BodyFlow on Thursday night with a friend because that class is a must and I can't wait to get back to it. I'll rest Friday, 5K Saturday and then begins the month of birthday celebrating! Yes, my birthday is in October and I like to celebrate the entire month culminating in Halloween, which is my favorite holiday. So I have to be well for it all. I'm starting off with a fun day of JMU tailgating with my friend Dee, later in the day, after the 5K. That night I'd like to go see a local band, SP511 who are playing my favorite local watering hole. It's close to home, cheap and friends will be there. The atmosphere needs some improvement but let's face it, all the other good stuff trumps that right now.
Can you ever imagine running 50K? What is your favorite local watering hole?
