Because running and I have been fighting lately. When my life gets busy I tend to find it hard to balance working out and everything else. So something tends to fall by the wayside. That has been running lately.

But I’ve been doing better this week: I ran a very hot and humid 2.15 miles last night after work. I got up at 6am and did another 2.15 miles this morning before work. I’m not setting any land speed records, and I’m certainly not running a lot of bulk mileage. But I’m getting out there and I’m doing something. And I consider that a win. I’m also in a good body place–I’m down 5 pounds. Yes, I’d like to lose about 5 more, but the world will not end if I don’t. I’m comfortable in my skin. And I think that’s what really matters.

A few things:

• My roomie asked the landlords if she could get a dog. They acquiesced…adding on a $250 pet deposit and carpet cleaning. I don’t want the dog and am not paying for it nor will I pay the deposit. It’s not that I don’t love dogs, but I just don’t want the responsibility. What does that say about me as a 33 year old woman?? Whatever. 
• I bought a washer and dryer. My dad is picking them up and bringing them over on Friday. I’m actually super excited about this level of adulting. 
• I have another wedding this weekend. My co-worker is getting married. I’m wearing the dress I wore to the wedding 2 weeks ago. No shame in my game. It’s supposed to be 96 degrees on Saturday. POOL TIME!
• In a weird way, I don’t like the first day of summer. It means that the days will start getting shorter. I’m not trying to be a pessimist…but I love the build up to most events–I have a hard time enjoying the actual event. Does that make sense? I love summer and everything about it. But I just have a hard time knowing that, eventually, winter is coming. Maybe I’m just a realist??

On that note, have a good Friday Eve friends!
