I’m in shape! Round is a shape!
After booking my flight and finishing everything I won’t be able to do on Monday, I decided I needed to go to they gym. I didn’t really want to, but the only day I had managed to go all week was on Monday…and since it was now Friday and they gym is closed on the weekends…I had better go. Oh my goodness this was quite possible the worst gym experience ever. All I really do there is run on the treadmill (gotta be training for my half-marathon in Virginia….and maybe even one in Philly!). Anyways, I am still SUPER slow and can only run for about 25 minutes (and i only make it a little over 2 miles). However, usually I am able to run at least 5 mph, yesterday I felt like I was attempting to run in a swimming pool. My legs were so slow and tired and I could not get into the rhythm of running (I was struggling at 4.5 mph) and I was miserable the whole time. Even after I finished I normally feel really good (even if I’m tired) and I just felt like shit. I literally didn’t know if I was going to make it back to my desk to grab my computer and back out to the car.
Then I got home, and I tried to go to bed early because I’ve been so tired lately, and I couldn’t fall asleep for the life of me…I finally fell asleep around 4AM…and then woke up at 7 to take Oscar out. Sigh. I did at least manage to fall back asleep around 8:30 and slept until 11. However, I refuse to drink any caffeine AT ALL today…hopefully that will help me fall asleep at a normal time tonight.
On a sad note…I ripped back all of the retarded heel sock. It is currently a blob of yarn on my couch that is waiting to be wound into a ball. I am attempting to find another pattern that is pretty but will knit up quickly (since these should have gone out like two weeks ago!). I totally suck. However, I went a little further on the fat ankles socks and I don’t think they need to be torn out. Once I knit a little further down the sock I tried it back on, and it wasn’t stretching as much and they actually fit. I decided it was because the ribbing is SOO stretchy and the placement of the needles was pulling it out further so it made the ankle look a lot larger. So I guess that is a little bit of knitting good news :-).
Now I am starving and totally need to eat something!
And yay mommy home from the hospital today! Hope your arm is feeling better! I love you!!
