Totals

The mileage hasn't been updated on the right side of the bog in a long while.. I think you all figured that one out by the missing month!  I honestly don't even know what I ran either.  I'm not keeping track of my shoes right now because they are all over 9 months old, so when they feel like they need to be replaced, I must scrimp and save!  My co-worker and I ran 2 times last week, and I'm going to try and convince B to run stairs tomorrow!  

That's about it for right now.  We had 3 parties yesterday and friends are coming over for dinner in about 2 hours.  He's cleaning out his car as we speak, and I'm trying to find an excuse to not switch out the laundry!  Blogging sounded like a great idea!   

I hope everyone is having a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend!

Remember me?

I'm the girl that ran all the time last summer.  I don't know what happened to that girl.  Sidelined by numerous things that have seemingly been resolved, there's just this huge hurdle to get over.  I am not happy in one area of my life.  Everything is fantastic in my own personal world.. B, Nora, friends, what family I have.  I've been becoming increasingly unhappy with my career.  There are many reasons for it and I am not in a good position right now.  I'm at a huge loss salary (100% commission) wise, and with the economy, I'm struggling big time.  My car lease is up at the end of August, and I won't be able to afford a new car.  In fact, as it stands now, I won't have a second pay check next month.  I'm beyond worried, and I'm trying to get another job.  I'm waiting to see if I can get hired on as a bartender on the weekends at a little winery one city over.  I'm even looking to make a complete change.  The economy is just so tough right now, and my college education is non-existent.  I'm trying to keep my head on straight, but the stress is eating me alive.   

I'm doing my best to keep active.  I had to take 2 days off of work 2 weeks ago before I walked away with out a job.  B and I ran 3 out of our the 4 days together.  That Sunday, he ran 4.5 miles with me.  We went for a run later that next week, and something happened with my legs.  They turned to complete jello and I couldn't finish!  I was laughing so hard because I looked like I was drunk walking back to the car.  I ran today for 3 miles and boy was it hot!  I do believe it was this time last year that we had switched our runs to the morning.  

I'm not going to give up running.  I didn't make it to the half marathon in Cleveland due to some financial issues.  I fully intent on participating in the Towpath Half Marathon on Oct 11.  I will not have a repeat of the kidney stone bull shit that kept me down for so long!  

I'm sorry for bitching and complaining, but I had to get this all off my chest.  Maybe putting this out there will help something good come my way.  I just need to figure something out!  

Thank you all for listening!  I promise, it's back to running next time!

Anyone?

Does anyone even stop by anymore?  I haven't felt like blogging in forever.   I think ever since blog commenting and writing has been blocked at work I haven't felt like doing it.  Not to mention that I'm a facebook addict.  It's been a busy few months.  Maybe I'll get on here later with some updates.  Now, I have to go get dressed (I'm in PJ's just so you know) and go to that place that drains me.  Hope that whoever reads this has a good day!
