I RAN MY FIRST 10K!!! I can’t wait to post my recap and more importantly my amazing playlist, but not tonight. Here’s a brief explanation why.
There was an unfortunate accident involving red wine and my computer.
My writing homework is due Wednesday but I had to ask for an extension due to no computer. I will be working on that the rest of the week/weekend when I have a computer.
I want to give my race recap the attention it deserves! I didn’t run the race half-assed; I will not write the post half-assed.
My stomach is a serious disaster. I hate it. I am miserable. I just want to go have the surgery and not cry about this anymore. I am suffering and I am ready for this to be over. I need this to be over.
I had to cancel the Core Fusion class I was really looking forward to tomorrow morning because of above stated stomach problems. I am trying to do much more strength training and this week’s planned 2 Core Fusion schedule was going to kickstart it. Now, I am only going Friday morning. I hope. Still better than none!
Related to that, the boy has agreed to be my “trainer” once a week for strength purposes.
Work is crazy!! I am working on a major project that goes live on January 1. There is so much to do before then to make sure that day is not a disaster.
I have plans for so many nights over the next few weeks which is so unlike me. I saw a friend yesterday, seeing my cousin tomorrow, the boy’s office holiday party Thursday and two more friends next week. I also have two more 3 hour writing classes (so ready to have my Wednesdays back) plus lots of homework.
I hope to post my 10K once I find out if I am in any official photographs! I really think I will be this time. I smiled at many a camera along the way.
Sorry if I sound whiny or excusey. I am so happy for everything I have in my life, like the ability to run 10K, see friends often, a brother who is mush and take writing classes. I just need a good long rest. And maybe a surgery.
I might be too late but here is a contest at Hangry Pants for a yoga mat I want.
Have a great week!

December 8, 2009 at 10:27 am (15 years ago)Congrats on the 10k! I can’t wait for the recap. I never seem to notice the photographers along the route. Hence – I always look awful in the pics. I have yet to actually purchase one.
Crazy, busy schedule woman. Hope your tummy feels better and sorry about your computer. Tragic. Still want to run on Sunday? It’s gonna be ch-ch-chilly. Let me know!

In other news, though, so very sad about the tummy.
