-need to find a decent watch for A.
-need help with dad’s gift. A Stetson is outta the question.
-have ideas for n’s gift, which always come way too late to pull off.
-thinking too much of pending anniversary of (my) year. And next’s too…
-I want to move. We may have an opportunity to move closer to parentals, even if it’s for a short time.
-need to call brother from another mother and reconnect. This relationship needs some love, from both ends.
-don’t want to celebrate bd, so please don’t bother people. Not being negative nancy but my bd sucks since well it sucks because of its timing. Bad economy and all, so nada! I’m only accepting home made scribbles.
-must practice my spanish skills as they are clearly deteriorating.
-make time for reading. Out of the 24 books I set out to read this year, only 14 have been finshed...

I’ve been keeping track of all the days I’ve been working out since we got back to it. I did this back when I was training for Mt. Wilson, two months I logged everything I did and ate. What I didn’t do was log how I felt, physically and mentally. These past weeks I’ve been taking mental notes of everything and I think I’m ready to start putting stuff down on paper, again.
What triggered this? Well on Saturday N suggested [forced more like it] I go for a 5K. Ugh. I knew this was coming and well wasn’t looking forward to it. Recently I’ve decided that I’m going to push myself to the max when running, puke and everything, so yeah. Plus this route is tough, 50% upgrade. Did it…. in 29 minutes flat! That was a personal record for me. Plus, I really haven’t put in any mileage since, well since the ½ marathon. This really shocked me. Not that I could run that fast, for me anyway, but that I had improve my speed by not really focusing on running. Immediately I went over to the fridge to check out my workouts, three days of crossfit and one day of bootcamp every week for the past four weeks. Very promising indeed.
So apparently N has earned the right to chant “I told ya so.”
