no running, but haven't been idle at all.

i love my job. i absolutely love what i do. i love staying busy and working with kids. i love that i'm really good at what i do, too. but this past month and a half i have done NOTHING BUT WORK. honestly, like 7 days a week most of the time doing upwards of 10 jobs a week. which i won't lie is good extra money. but it's exhausting as well. but i still am addicted to doing it.

so after a full week of running that started of strong this weekend took up most of...strike that ALL of my free time. ha, i was really home just to sleep and sometimes eat. but mainly just sleep. i haven't seen B in almost a week, she's probably full blown preggo now. ha ha ha

so i think imma go tonight at somepoint and do my w1d3. HA! i guess i justify that it's okay to be slacking 'cause i've been waking up at 5 AM to go to the 545 jazzercise class. which has been kicking my butt this week. especially having zumba on monday nights, my legs are really sore. my calves are tight. i need to stretch more afterwards.

and i also really need to purchase some dance-esque shoes. like some split sole nikes or something that won't be so tough on my knees. i feel like i'm starting to really be an avid person who works out having more than one pair of shoes with only a single purpose. RUNNING SHOES ARE ONLY FOR RUNNING AND DANCE SHOES ARE ONLY FOR DANCING. it's a tough lesson that my knees are really paying for at the moment.

so on sunday i stayed up way too late watching the dexter finale knowing that monday was d-day of waking up at 5am to make it to class. abigayle was going to start doing it too, until she realized her commute to work was pretty killer- so that sucks. but anyway, i stayed up till 2 'cause i was so excited/nervous about going in the morning- and i painted my nails red. doing probably the most crappy job i've ever done- getting red paint ALL OVER MY NAILS. so when i woke up in a daze on monday morning i went to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth still 1/2 asleep when i caught a glimpse of red from my hands. i freaked out. it scared me, until i realized that i had just been a dummy and painted my nails. ha.

so, i really started running so that i would have alone time to think about what i wanted to say to everyone w/o getting in trouble for actually saying it. i really enjoyed going to the battlefield and running outside and being around other runners- i remember the first day i went i was really nervous 'cause i looked like a "newbie" but everyone i passed just waved and said hello and was really nice so i felt like i was officially part of the "gang". then i went and bought a pair of real running shoes 150 buck shoes. then i realized that i NEED to use them and I definitely have been. ha ha ha!

and i will be tonight again. i need to get this in order so I don't fall too far behind.

5 surprises over the past week:

• i can wake up at 5 am to workout when i'm really motivated, this week it's come in the from of a single phone call afterwards to a boy.
• crushed ice still exsists at the tony's i used to work at and sarah brought me home a soda with it yesterday- totally made my day!
  
• there are sisters in my zumba class- never knew!
• L put me down as a verified person to pick her son up from daycare
• i finished xmas shopping and feel really good about it.
