Rut

Well, yes, it’s true. I disappeared for a little while. I’m kind of in a rut. I’m angry at the world. I can’t wait for the work day to be over. I’m watching the clock. I can’t wait for my Spring Break to start. I may just take Friday OFF and start my Spring Break early!

This past Saturday I got in a GREAT run. FIRECRACKER had his first soccer game of the season. Since I had a commitment Saturday morning and his game was at 12, I knew I’d have trouble finding the time for my run…so…I decided I would run home from soccer. It was a perfect run! Perfect route…I ..loved…everything…about…it… Just under 10 miles at an easy pace. There was only one HOT section.

I’m not yet used to the heat, but it won’t take too long…I hope…

I’m thinking of running tonight but want to avoid doing  it with the jogger. It is so much hard to run with the stroller and even though L’ilCHUBBYMAN loves it – I also worry about bad running form and risking injury. So…when HUSBAND gets home tonight, I am planning on heading out for a run. Hopefully he won’t be home too late… My head really needs it.

Tomorrow morning I’m planning on SPIN class and a short run. I’m hoping my SWIMGIRL partner joins me because my motivation has been dragging and we all know that having a partner in crime keeps us accountable.

On a side note – life is funny isn’t it.  I **KNOW** that GOD puts people in your path all the time.

On that note – I’ve got someone coming in a couple days to give me an estimate on solar heating my pool. HUSBAND and I have a mess of projects – a never ending list actually. One project includes expanding the screened in pool area, which involves having some trees taken out, having cement poured and additional pool screen involved. I also want to have solar panels installed so that our pool is warm. I know too many people who’ll be swimming during their spring break and I can only look and our pool and cry that it’s too cold to even put my toe into, let alone my whole body!

Since the Princess 1/2 on Sunday morning, I have been on a race high! I wish I had a race to sign up for this weekend, but 1 - there isn't anything close and 2 - HUSBAND is working all weekend so it's just me and the kids.

Workouts since Sunday:

• Monday - Easy 2 mile run
• Tuesday - 3 miles
• Wednesday - 3 miles

All the above were done in the evening...9pm or later - which I HATE to do because I am therefore up later and getting up in the morning has been ROUGH! So today was a great relief 

• Thursday (today) - 5:30AM Body Pump class + I still need to get my run in tonight.
• Friday planned - run & swim

So the Tri training is beginning. I'm not super excited about the tri training this time around because I am enjoying my running so much. So I am going to keep on training for my running events and sign up for as many as I can.  On the schedule right now are:

1. Winter Park 2 mile + 10k - doing both for the distance dare - 3/24
2. Clearwater Irongirl 1/2 - 4/22
3. Run for God 5K - 4/7

I've been in a crappy mood all day and am so ready for the work week to end. I might even take the day off tomorrow. I have so much to do around the house its freaking me out! I can't stand it when my house is a mess and since the HUSBAND has been working for 3 weeks straight - no days off - (I know...that's rough, but I'm complaining here :) )  I am behind on everything and can't get anything done because I am so busy with the kids.

I'm also in a crappy mood because HUSBAND is acting like an ass because he is over tired. I should be more sympathetic, but honestly, being tired really isn't justification for being an ass. Is it? I think NOT.

Anyways, looking forward to my run tonight and then hopefully going to be early!
