2/71

Yesterday I ran (2/71) at 8pm again to get in my 3 training miles. I was extra motivated by all the tumblr love you showed me yesterday, THANK YOU! 

This morning I was supposed to get blood work to keep my low health insurance premium, so I fasted – which always makes me cranky. Get to the lab clinic and find out first I don’t have the right paperwork (false). I called my HR department a month ago to verify what I needed to do/bring since I had such a headache last year. I call HR and are told a bunch of noise. I plead with the receptionist who calls someone else at my HR dept who apparently HAS a brain. I find out since I got blood work last year I don’t need to do it again AND that the process I did last year isn’t even the same process for this year. WTF I CALLED ABOUT THIS IN MAY! So even though I fasted and wasted an hour, the good news is I didn’t have to have any blood taken and I get to keep my premium. 

Today is run 3/71 – another 3 miles. Then I’m heading to Williamsburg VA to go to Busch Gardens tomorrow (we’ll see if mother nature lets that happen). 

Officially REGISTERED for the Dublin Marathon! I figured it would be a good motivator since 18 weeks of training kicks off Monday! 

I’m using this week as a pre-training week since I’ve been out of the training game for moooooonths. 

  • Sun: 3 miles
  • Tues: 3.25 miles
  • Wed: 4.25 miles
  • Thurs: 5 miles (projected)

Been running a song then walking a song, then maybe running 2 songs, walking a song. Right now I want to comfortably push myself, but not push myself to the point of not wanting to run. Plus I was to minimize injury and fatigue. 

Marathon training round 3: European adventure edition!

NYC Christmas Funsies

T just booked his bus ticket to NYC for the day after Christmas. I’m excited to show him Christmas in New York!

I have a lot on our agenda – all the classic NYC Christmas stuff, but if anyone has any suggestions of unique/new things worth checking out let me know. 

Also I’m going to get us tickets to the 9/11 museum, any advice on how long we should plan to be there? I’m hoping to do an AM timeframe ticket, but just want to plan accordingly. 

PS – he *might* be meeting my mom whilst in NY. my mom and I aren’t close, but I know it’d be a big deal for her since I’ve never brought anybody home before.

I’m back visiting where I used to and live and work before DC. I’m heading to my old gym to go to my all time favorite spin instructor’s RPM class. I’m like stupid excited, it’s park of the reason I planned my trip for Sat-Tues instead of Fri-Mon!!
