Spring cleaning and doing all the things!

Good Tuesday to you!!!!

It is soup-er muggy here today. Tomorrow looks like a stormy day, so today we run. By we I mean me; and by run I mean make my ponytail bounce as I move at a speed slightly faster than a walk.

Our computer system went down at work before I had even finished my morning coffee at home. Who gets the call? Me. The girl that doesn't own a computer or have the internet; or know how to use her smartphone totally; or how to use an iPod (that she can't find. more on that later)  We got it back up and running at 4:22pm. You can imagine my day. I think in the future I'll just get a big ball of wires to wrap around me so everyone will believe I'm working on the issue.

 


So my iPod. I have a little shuffle that clips on. I loaded music on it in about...oh....2006? I've never updated it. I lost it in 2012 when I clipped it to a box in my closet. It was reunited with me last summer (2014). I used it one whole time, and lost it again. Dang. I have the charger though! I need one for my 1/2 marathon this month, but don't want to buy a new one. A: because I don't have my own computer/iTunes. 2: I don't want to put music on it. If anyone has one they would loan me for just one day, with upbeat music, I'd totally preesh. I'll even buy one for a reasonable price if it's preloaded with cool songs. Think about it!

Oh, spring cleaning. Yes. Not really, but while looking for my iPod I unearthed many things that needed to go. Old pictures, I hate throwing those out but sometimes it's necessary, broken cheap jewelry, cards, receipts, check stubs (shredded, don't worry), dust, and hair. Plus that really ugly purse I never should have bought, and never used. And price/size tags off clothing. Why did I have so many of them? Everywhere!!  I also found my old hand wraps. Remember when I was training to be an MMA fighter?!

And now, because I know you're begging for it.....RANDOM PICTURES!!!

This portion of my lawn is left untouched on purpose. These cute flowers open all over, everyday. He doesn't have to buy me flowers, he has left them for me each time the sun comes out.

Mom sent me some seeds to plant. We don't know what they are. We'll be surprised together!!

Chocolate chip cookies with raspberry extract. Not ruined; total amazing.

Help.



Finally, my favorite pins of the week (one has a bad word, look the other way):

That Dam 5k

Image
I found out yesterday that there is a 5k coming up in my area. The 'That Dam Lake Texoma 5k" is on 11/17. I feel like physically I am prepared for it, but gear-ly I am not. I still haven't bit it and bought new shoes. I won't need special shorts, shirts, socks, belts, sleeves, hats, etc. as a 5k doesn't require much fanciness. I need shoes, but first, I need the funds. Le sigh. This isn't a cry out for money, it's more like a cry out for someone to convince me to spend my money. I haven't spent that much on a pair of shoes in years. I became a frugal fanatic and push all belongings to the limit. Help! Last night I was back on the 'mill. Not defeated quite as early, but about 1.7 miles in I hit my wall. How silly! I pushed pushed pushed, and made it to 3.1 in just under 39 mins. S       L        O      W. I need to stop being so hard on myself, but if I'm not, how will I get better?! When I got home I started dinner. In a pinch I always make

Race Recap

Image
You may have seen my mini post on Saturday about my dismal race. I do hate being negative, but I was really unhappy with my performance. The breathing problems, the stumbling, the walking, the dramatics....I was a total mess. Today I want to show you all the awesome stuff leading up to the race! Muscle time!!! Making shirts for the race. Team 'Run Free: peace.love.run' in the house! Gear ready for the race. Nike tennis skirt (bad choice by the way. Rides all up in the wrong places), team shirt (Wal-mart), Brooks Ravenna 4.  (not pictured, SPI-belt)  We were so ready to go!! All smiles. M ran the race pushing her daughter, and not in a little jogging stroller, but in the fully enclosed bike trailer/stroller! And she beat me! Grrr. She was awesome! She said she was a little stoked that she beat me too. She should be. We aren't racing each other, but a W is a W. Made a shirt for her little girl. This is the back. Awwww.  Barking dogs afterwar

Boomer Sooner and the lame mile

Image
Friday night I had a horrible headache so I didn't run. I thought for a second that running may beat it out of me, but I'm glad I didn't try. The people at the gym may not like me enough to clean up after me if I barf on the 'mill. Chelsea, Aaron, me, and J Saturday I had free tickets to the OU game, so of course I went. I overslept til 9am when there came a knockin' at my door. It was myfriends there to pick us up! I had time to get ready, but no run time. We didn't get back home until 10.30pm, so no running then either! BOOMER SOONER!!! (side note: bossman saw this and said it's sad if that is the best pair of jeans I have. Yes, yes it is...) Sunday I finally got out on the road after church. Now, I've heard you are supposed to take time off from running to recover, but I had 2 days off and almost died! It seems over my start to running that time off = bad run for me. If I were a big-time runner like some of the ladies whose blogs I
