Tuesday Things

  • Week 8 of Hanson’s and I’m feeling that cumulative fatigue. My legs are tired. I’m drinking that terrible Tart Cherry juice (gross) too. I have 6.5 miles of speed work tonight. (BIG SIGH). I don’t wanna. Wah-Wah. Suck it up Melissa.
  • On the plus side? I think I’m going to take Stand-up Paddleboarding classes at the Campus Rec center!! They’re only $50 for 3 one hour classes on Sunday afternoons in March. The last one is the 15th, which is the day before my Birthday on the 16th. I consider that a cool way to spend my Birthday weekend.
  • Have you heard about this? My mom called me today to discuss this as a possible way to help me lose the weight I’d like to shed. Eat more fiber, eat more protein, eat less carbs, eat less meat, eat more meat. I can’t keep track anymore! I suppose the fiber thing is worth a try.
  • I really enjoy the beginning of relationships. When guys are working to “get you” and text you funny or cute things throughout the day to let you know they’re thinking about you. Gets me every time. Why does that (usually) go away when they actually “get you”? 
  • In that same vein, my bestie told me back in September that I “like guys who are a*$holes.” And that I don’t know what to do when men are nice to me. That’s why I end things with guys that really like me, but I don’t like. Because I can’t handle men being nice to me.

Mind. Blown.

  • Whether or not that’s true (I don’t think it is, I’ve just manage to date a lot of jerks) she is right with some of it; I don’t know what to do when men are nice to me like that in relationships. When they are sweet, or listen with the intent to hear, not just to reply, or don’t play mind games. I just don’t know how to react. Gettin’ deep here.

Have a great day friends!!

Thoughts on a Tuesday

  • Sugar makes my heart beat faster. And not in a good way. The last 2 times I’ve gotten Froyo (last night included) it caused my heart to race as I was laying down, trying to sleep. I don’t want to give up froyo but it looks like this isn’t something I should be eating after 7pm! We shall see.
  • I ran this morning. Only 2 miles since I hadn’t run since Friday. It was good, but summer is back here and it was crazy humid.
  • I’m debating about signing up for the Omaha Half next month. We shall see.
  • There’s also a living social deal for a 80’s themed 5k next week. I’m debating that too. Is $23 worth it? I don’t know.
  • I feel like this year is flying by. The saying "the days are long but the years are short" seems very appropriate. Time speeds up when you get older.
  • I feel like I’m coasting through life right now. Like I’m not actively trying, you know?
  • At the same time, I feel like my life has suddenly gotten very busy. I look at the calender and weeks and weekends just keep booking up.
  • I think I’m an introverted extrovert. I need to be around people most of the time…but then when I’ve been around them too much I get antsy and want my routine and my "me" time. I’m complicated.
  • When I go to Omaha for the weekend, I treat it like I’m on vacation. Good for the soul–bad for the pocketbook!

Happy Tuesday Friends!
