Ok – so I did a total revamp on the blog. Questions? Comments? Concerns? Please don’t have concerns – it literally took me like five hours to settle on this background. I was looking for something less snow-flakey because snow is depressing at any time of the year and I’m honestly not sure why I chose something that resembled snowflakes in the first place. And it’s nearly impossible to find something reasonable for a background for me because I think they’re all silly. But whatev. I settled on this one. Please don’t hate it.
I’m contemplating running a half-marathon with my sister this fall. More questions, comments, or concerns? My concerns are these: I don’t think I’ll train well by myself. My headphones don’t stay in my ears when I run. Could buy different headphones but I’m pretty sure my ears are oddly shaped because this has been an eternal problem. I must have music to exercise. There is no way around that. If it stops I stop. Seriously. I can’t even stretch without it. But I just ordered new running shoes. New shoes seem to be an excellent motivator. And I have all summer to train. So even flying solo I suppose I should give it a shot.
Plus we’re rounding into wedding season here – which means I need to start getting skinny like yesterday. Except yesterday we made steak sandwiches and I totally burned Boyfriend’s roll in the toaster oven (like the roll had flames coming out of it) and watched The Office instead of going to the gym. And I don’t even follow The Office – I just love a good proposal story. So maybe gym tomorrow. Maybe. We also watched Parks and Recreation – and Boyfriend laughs hysterically every time that April girl speak. He swears she must be my long lost twin and to be honest – I can’t really disagree with him.
How’s that for a hodge podge of a post? I don’t usually like hodge podges – unless I’m the first one in line. I don’t want people sneezing and coughing on food before I get to it. But in this case it’s been a long week, there is no food involved and I have A.D.D. today - so any chance of a more coherent post was gone before I even got out of bed this morning. Whatever. Happy weekend.
This is April. She told a babbling brook to 'shut up' last night while camping. Which sounds like nothing I would do? |
I love your new layout! The color are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI signed up for a half marathon once... then Kiwi and I ended taking a trip to New Zealand and I missed the race! But, I did train for it and I found a training buddy helps keep you on track. I was training during the winter and I got so darn bored running on the treadmill :)
Thanks. :)
ReplyDeleteNow the question is...would you ever train for one again?
