In 2 weeks I’m headed up to Vermont with T for my friend Sarah’s wedding with a stop each way in Connecticut to visit my alma mater and see some other friends. (DRIVING)
Then 2 weeks after that I will be in Alabama to visit all my Auburn friends and go to the game again Texas A&M. (FLYING)
And then 2 weeks after that I will be in New York for Thanksgiving. (DRIVING)
I’m excited and exhausted just thinking about it.
After some crazy work shenanigans and finally hitting the 6 week point of the semester passing I’ve been able to refocus on myself.
I got 3 runs in this week and committed to Body Pump.
I have a team relay on the 18th where I need to run 7 miles and then I need to fit in my bridesmaid dress on the 25th. And most importantly I don’t want to feel like a fat fuck in everyday life.
This crisp fall weather that came in this weekend is helping, especially after a pitiful run on Friday. I hope to get out and run 3x a week. AND I also need to get my bike tire fixed since it’s been flat since right after my Tri on 8/24 and I haven’t been on it since then.
I can’t let work de-rail me and I don’t want to use T as an excuse, especially since we only see each other on Wednesdays during the week. I have other viable weekdays to workout.
I ran my first Half Marathon!!!!

I’ve told you guys about my friend Tim from college who is the king of all BAMFs. Tim was in a serious car accident in 2007 that paralyzed him, but that hasn’t slowed him down. Here’s a video Tough Mudder made about Tim and his team (made up of a ton of awesome guys from college) in their latest race!
Today: 190.4
2 weeks ago: 187.4
WRONG direction. Seeing 190 crushed me this morning, but I know I have been lackadaisical lately. Work is very stressful, yet my personal life has never been better.
I need to find balance. I also need to fit in a bridesmaid dress in 5 weeks. Well it fits, but I’d like to be able to breathe whilst wearing it!

Officials, lawmakers and staffers from both parties gleefully compete over the number of steps they walk daily.
Great read. I’m working on 2 different conference presentations related to making time for fitness and friendly competition in the workplace.
On anniversary of Navy Yard shooting, loss of expert shipbuilder still echoes at sea
The lasting toll of Aaron Alexis’s rampage is reflected in the Navy’s struggle to finish its newest warship.
Thinking of all the Navy Yard shooting victims and their families today, but especially Chris who I met last year just prior to the shooting. Chris lost his Dad, Michael, who is featured in this article.
Boom! Took me just over 13 months to do it! Next badge is when I hit 3,000 lifetime miles!
Had to update the car decal #swagnar #ragnardc
