Drinking > Running

Ugh...what a week.  Not a good week.  A very drunk week instead.  I've been dealing with a lot of personal things lately and this week it all really affected me.

Monday: Supposed to swim.  Partner couldn't go.  Drank wine instead.

Tuesday: Uhhhhh....see this post.  Drank wine instead.

Wednesday:  Amazing swim!  Could totally do an Ironman.  First Day of Squat Challenge (20 squats)

Thursday:  Hubby worked incredibly late, depressed about Valentine's Day (I get depressed on EVERY holiday.  Don't even mention my birthday).  Second day of Squat Challenge (25 squats).  Drank wine instead.

Friday:  SO tired.  Squats are kicking my ass....literally.  Ran 11 miles.  3rd day of SC (30 squats)

They weren't an easy 11 miles.  In fact, my long run this week was the hardest run of my life.  I've never been that mentally detached from a run ever in my life.  Finishing it felt like the biggest victory of my life.  I should have a medal for that run.  I had a bottle of merlot instead!!!



Whenever I'm feeling down, I like to make a list of what I have to look forward to. 

  • Mud Hero - best hungover run you could ever do!!
  • Dinosaur run!  Taking my biggest little man this year!!
  • My MARATHON!!  I can't wait to cross that finish line.
  • MEXICO!  We're taking our boys in November.
  • Visiting my sister in Vancouver in July!
  • Summer!  My ass is going to look amazing after all of these effing squats!!!

  1. What is this squat challenge you speak of?

    1. I'm not sure who devised it, but it's a set number of squats each day for 31 days (I think it was originally a month long challenge). A friend challenged me to it, I accepted!

So we did something fun!

So we did something super fun and scary last spring... we decided to move to our lake cabin full time !  Ahhh!  It's been very trying and very exciting and I think we're actually settled in out here.  Also, HI!  I know it's only been a short while since I posted last...errr...ok, it's been a year and a half, but priorities, right? So, yeah, downsizing...haha!  In 2 years, we've gone from 3800 square feet of living space to about... 750.  And, you know what? It's totally not all sunshine and rainbows, but it works!  Living at the lake and having all of these amazing trees around us is completely worth it.  The boys have settled into, yet, another new school and this school is the best one yet! Around the end of April last year, I came out to the cabin to clean up our holiday trailer so we could sell it.  I took a break, made a caesar , and sat on the front lawn with Duke in the small bit of sunshine that made its way through the ...

Operation Hot Husband

On Tuesday, I had a fast and short (3 miles) run scheduled.  I was only able to run 0.8 miles until I had to stop due to my gag reflex getting the best of me.  Here's what went down (from the beginning): I've been hassling my husband to get his ass into the gym for quite some time now.  He's attempted working out a few times, but never knows what to do so he quits.  I've tried setting him up with a personal trainer and he did go a few times, but he quit as he felt he didn't have time to go.  He also didn't even really attempt to complete the assigned work- outs on his own.

I'm using the F word.

Fuck it.  I'll do my long run in the morning.....hungover.  Tonight I am doing this:
