Wellness

Back to the land of the living. I was right, this whole thing took me out a solid two weeks of training. I went out for a run on Saturday morning and only managed 4.5 miles before I had to call it quits. I know I need to ease back into things and I'll get back there eventually but....4.5 miles! Grr. I could tell that all the crap I've been eating has taken its toll and the lack of strength training really messed with my posture and form. Time to get back on the wagon. There's a few 5k's I'd like to sign up for around St Patrick's Day that look pretty fun and might help get me motivated to get out there in the cold. I love running in the cold so much more than the heat but for some reason it's so much harder to get out the door.



The Boy Toy surprised me with flowers and card on V-Day. Normally I am so anti-V Day it's pathetic but we really had a nice time together. I made dinner (spaghetti and meatballs) and we hung out and talked for hours. Here's the problem - I think I kinda like him. Horrifying, I know. But if I like him, then the potential for getting hurt is greater and I'm not really down with that. It's been so long since I've been in a relationship I can't really remember how it's supposed to go. He's smart and funny and really really cute and he makes me laugh and brings me flowers. He's bad with the phone and horrible with money. He loves his family and is great with kids. He would probably lose his head if it wasn't attached...but I like him. This is terrifying.
