I ran 13 miles on Saturday. It was terrible. I was doing pretty well in the first half, the weather was great and I was running with the wind. Then on the back half, the sun started to go down and I was running straight into a cold and fierce wind. With about a 5k left, I stopped giving a shit and walked the rest of the way. This has been happening a lot.
I'm hoping that the running group my husband and I just started can get my head back into running. I've had a ton of other things on my mind lately. Now that we're back in OUR house, I have a hundred projects I want to get done. Also, my daughter officially starts soccer tomorrow and I think I'm more nervous than she is. I have no idea how to interact with other parents that aren't already my friends. It's a weird new world I'm about to enter.
I've also been kind of busy with an actual social life. It's been quite a while since I've had one of those. Last Friday I went out to a nice fondue place with friends and then out to a bar. Bars obviously aren't all that fun for me right now and I was starting feel really tired. But then shuffle board opened up. As it turns out, I am quite a shuffle board bad ass. It perked me up and I ended up staying out til 1am. Go me! It's not like I never go out, it just doesn't happen that often. And when you can't drink, 1am is an accomplishment.

Hey, 13 miles is still a long ass way to run. So, at least there's that.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the soccer moms. I'm betting they'll like you just fine :)
You're doing so well for being pregnant! Don't give up stick with it!
ReplyDeleteAnd shuffleboard is almost as much fun as skee ball!!!
Glad you are gettig out :)
Awe! Thanks you guys! I hope it goes well too!
ReplyDeleteAlso, you are the best date ever.... well almost!
ReplyDeleteYou're pregnant! Bone running, especially for distance. Get your heart rate up a little bit every once in a while if you feel like it, but only then. Enjoy the social life now as you will have to abandon it for a while after the baby comes. Then you can start to run for speed and distance again.
ReplyDeleteI remember my first soccer pratice...I know exacty how you feel. I hope the other moms don't suck.
ReplyDeleteJohn, I will right after this next race. And I've definitely decided that I flat out don't give a shit about walking. No Shame.
ReplyDeleteLindee, hopefully I'll see you at the games and have someone to chat with.
