With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams...

Sore from the Warrior Dash.  Last year it was easier for me because I was nearly done with p90x when I did the 'dash.  This year, my muscles are angry about the workout I gave them.  I'll take a few days of sore muscles over 90 days of Tony!!

4 morning miles.  Work was so stressful today I thought my head was going to explode and leave brain detritus  all over my desk.  It was a workout not to scream at people.

Morning run.  It was the perfect weather for a nice run.  Breezy cool air, not too hot, not too windy.  Like Goldilocks, this morning was just right.  Legs still sore, I feel like I'm moving backwards in my fitness level.  I realize I'm not eating the right kinds of foods to give me good energy.  But knowing is less than half the battle.

After school, I was excited to go to the end of the year zumba party.  My foot feels healed up well enough to jump around for a while, and when I heard the word party I didn't want to miss out on it.  

It was a 2 hour party and I had heard there would be working out, and prizes, and partying.  I showed up late because I was finishing up work I had to do, and I was worried I was going to miss all the zumba-ing.  I was sure I would be there in enough time for the party and the food, so I wasn't worried.  WELL, I was wrong about this "party" and there wasn't a drop of food to eat, and they did zumba for the whole 2 hours.  It was fun as sin, but my body wasn't prepared for 2 hours of zumba. 

I had to go home and mow the lawn after the "party".  By the time 9 pm rolled around, I was pooped and falling asleep in bed.  Best night sleep I've had in a long, long time. 

I took the day off.  My body and brain are both exhausted. 

This time of year is so stressful and I get extra worked up when people who have more education and make more money than I do can't read and/or follow directions/instructions and then want me to do their job for them because they are too lazy/incompetent to do it themselves.

Just sayin'. 

morning run. overcast and just a little humid.  not a bad morning run.

snowcone & chili dog day at school.  the bright spot in my week of outer darkness.

Got to run with Wyatt this morning- so much to talk about.  With 1.5 miles to go, I realized I was supposed to be home in  5 minutes- and it is a 7 minute drive from Wyatt's house to mine.  Thus, I was going to be late getting home.  Very late.  

Mini- me had a babysitting job and I was going to make everyone late because I'd spent more time talking and not paying attention to the actual time.   I had to sprint home the last 1.5 miles.  By the time I got to the car I was exhausted!!

She was 20 minutes late to her babysitting job- I felt horrible.  The couple was going to a birthday lunch date. I feel like a rotten pirate P-(

After I got home and mini me took the car to babysit,  I went out for a couple more miles in my 'hood.  It was getting really warm outside.  It was 12:30 and the sun was doing it's job warming up everything, including me.

I had kicked around doing 4.5 miles, but at mile 2.7 I decided I was going to be happy with 3 more miles.  I've been slacking off my miles the last few weeks, and I don't need to over do it on a day like today.

After finishing my run, I had 3 hours worth of yard work to do.  Then an hour of housework.  Wish I would have kept my calorie monitor on!
