On Empty...no running

So I've been working too much and the illness finally got the best of me. I just haven't had time or felt like doing anything. I debated going on my long run Saturday morning, but knowing that I had to work all day and was going out afterwards....I didn't think it would be the best idea. That would be a tough day if I were feeling healthy, but with a cold I think it would have been impossible!

I ended up having a great time out on the town Saturday night. I started out the night with my two neighbors. They are great women...sisters who have little in common and look nothing a like. It's kind of crazy. We went out for Thai food and then hit up the local brewery. It was great. I found out a lot about them, and shared a few skeletons of my own. People always love hearing about the divorce. I'm so glad I've finally got enough distance between me and my life with the fat man that I can laugh about it.

We talked a lot about weight and weight loss. It's definitely planted a seed with me. I've been struggling with a pesky ten pounds since I moved out here and I'm ready for it to be gone. I had initially set a goal for June 10th when I go home to see my family. I think I kind of got off track the last few weeks, but I'm going to refocus and try to get this goal accomplished! I'm telling you....I'm striving for the trifecta!!! Degree, debt free, and hot!!! Then I'll be untouchable. If I could add a PR at Grandma's to that list.....that will be the ultimate! I think it's amazing that this is all coming together in my 29th year. I'm setting myself up to feel pretty darn good when I'm staring the big 3-0 in the face. I won't be married or have children yet, but I think that's okay. I've still got some time to get that figured out....hopefully.

So....the goal for tonight is a 9 mile run. Hopefully lots of stretching and warming up will keep me from having such bad knee pain like last time. And then no more 2 day a week running. That's terrible. I need to gear up!!
