runion with the devil. damn it, ross.
+ i took a break from the internet this weekend, which wasn't necessarily intentional, i was just surprisingly busy, but it was kind of nice to just... unplug, and not fret over what i might be missing. and in the little bit of free time i did have, i caught up on buffy: season 8 which is always good times.
+ this morning i woke up 10 minutes before i was supposed to leave for work. oops. O_O
+ i ran three miles in the canyon last week and it wasn't horrible! i haven't been able to say that in a long time. and then i ran 7 miles yesterday (with quite a few walking breaks), and i felt pretty good. there might just be some hope yet.
accommodations have been secured for the san diego half-marathon this april, so that one is definitely a go. LA is still up in the air. it's the first weekend of december, and normally two months should be enough time for me to train, but this october is pretty much a wash for me. i'm booked every weekend until halloween. i'm hoping that i can use weekday evenings this month to get back up to speed for the shorter runs - where 5-8 miles is No Problemo (with minimal walking breaks) - and then i can use the month of november to push for the longer distances. idk idk!
i'm actually kind of excited about this. i didn't really feel that the first time around (two years ago). back then my mother was pushing us all to run (it was kind of a family bonding/mother's day thing) so i felt obligated - which brings with it only so much motivation. but this time around it's all me, and what I want to push for. i admit, i'm kind of high on the little feelings of accomplishment i get from finishing each run, even the small ones. it's like, i did that. me! it's crazy and unbelievable, but i did it.
+ here's wishing a most glitterific birthday to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
downmiles! i am so very grateful to have you in my life, bb. hart hart hart! ♥
+ zombieland = an A++ GOOD TIME. \o/ i feel better knowing that i'm already working on rule #1. :D
+ oh! also yesterday we briefly paused half-way on our run at the rose bowl where they were having a Race for the Rescues! everyone was walking/running with their doggies! big dogs and little dogs, all tail-wagging and on a mission. you guys, it was the cutest ever, and made it doubly hard to get back on the trail and finish the second half of our run. and i admit i scanned the crowd briefly for a bob, or a FRANK, or a piglet! :DDD i mean, shelters and pups, it's right up their alley! alas, nada.
