Just plain crazy!

I may be a little...or a lot crazy.  Why I thought it was a good idea for a practice run today in 40 degree heat is beyond me.  Is that dedication or what?  Don't listen to me.  I do not recommend running in this kind of weather.  We did a trail run with some pretty big hills.  I ran for a total of about 24 minutes before I felt light headed and put an end to my misery.

I walked.  Something I have never done before.  No matter how fatigued or bad I've felt during a run, I have never stopped and walked.  I absolutely did the right thing.  If I didn't walk, I would be face down on the asphalt behind McMaster University right now.  So I'm real good with my decision to walk.  Thank goodness this heat is supposed to break tomorrow.  I'm looking forward to more seasonal temperatures on Saturday for my trail race.


I go for my weigh-in tomorrow morning and I'm feeling good about hitting my Onederwall.  I said I'd join beginner yoga when that happens (which will have to happen in the fall, 'cos that's when the next sessions through Parks and Rec begin...and I can't afford to go to an actual studio) as well as get Heloise altered.  I'm not gonna lie, getting my tattoo altered scares the Bejeezus out of me.  But I have to make her prettier.  She's so dull and faded.  

Work is exhausting me right now and I can't wait until the third week in July when I'm off for three weeks, back for one, then off for two weeks.  I really, really, really need some time off.  I've lost that love'in feeling towards my job.  Maybe some new cases is just what I need to keep my mind working and my skills sharp!  I feel like I need more challenges, but I just don't have the time to commit to new stuff right now.   Maybe in the fall after I find some balance with my impending summer vacation?  Here's hoping!

Don't ask why I look so angry in the middle picture...
likely because I had to do this over and over and over again!
