Yes! Woke up at 5am and off running at 5:15am. Creepy because it was dark and misty. I ran slow (8:54 average pace per minute) but I was still happy I ran the whole way which ended up being 8.6 miles. At one point, I was running behind an old guy. He didn’t realize it but we were “running buddies”. Gotta take what I can get.
Due to the mist, I decided to get crafty so I didn’t stress about leaving my phone at home or ruining it in the rain. I brought a huge one gallon storage bag and put Clif Shot Bloks, my Garmin watch and my cell phone in it. I looked ridiculous but I felt so much better having all my stuff vs having to run without it.
Wore a cute bracelet to work today. It’s from H&M. Love the fact that it was like five or six dollars. This was another oldie but goodie that I purchased at the Chicago H&M about 3 years ago.
After work, was able to get 4 foils of highlights put in my hair. Normally, I get the 3-4 foils every 6-8 weeks when I get my haircuts but I’m trying to grow out my hair a little bit so I’m skipping the haircut. I can’t go much longer on missing a haircut or my hair’s going to look mullety.
Gas was $3.44 a gallon.
Came home after the highlights and I was sooooo tired. I was just dragging. Took a good long nap (2 hrs?!). Today was a seriously nonproductive day as far as house and yardwork went.
AND, I have to pay my son to walk the dog. Never thought we’d have a dogwalker on staff. I thought I’d totally get a housekeeper before a dogwalker….
Ran down to the workout room and did 3 different types of weight lifts at 2 sets a piece. My arms are so skinny and I’d like them more defined but if I’m not going to put in the time, it’s not going to happen for me. I know this but I’m still so tired, sooo, better than nothing.
Went to my husband’s double-header softball games (#22). “Ehhh batta, batta, batta, SWING”! They lost. He gets irritated w/his team but he’s a good sport about. He’s a pretty good player (not playa).
Oh and here’s me, NOT watching the game…
I love a good book. I tend to read mostly nonfiction and memoirs but occasionally, I’ll read me some fiction. I started w/the “Hunger Games” and then I had to read the 2nd book of the series, “Catching Fire”. And to finish things up, I had to read the 3rd book, “Mockingjay”. I like the first two books but I’m not really into the 3rd one. I just want to finish it so I can move on. I have a about six books out from the library that I have to read and return and this Mockingjay book is holding me up. Off to bed…..
