Lack of Motivation
Haha - I've already fallen off the wagon! My last post was Monday...it's um....Thursday. :-) Sorry people! I just...I got busy doing nothing :-D Hehe.
So what've I been doing this week? Well, Monday I went for a glorious 7 mile run....on the treadmill. Yuck. But it still felt great. I always run slower on the treadmill than I do outside. Not sure what that's all about since everyone I talk to tells me they can run faster inside than out. Not me. I'm just a weirdo :-) After that I finished my paper for my class that night and did some other errands. Monday we had class for all of 10 minutes until the electricity went out in the building. Woot! So we got to leave early :-)
Tuesday I taught a spin class in Bala Cynwyd (Painter - it's pronounced "kin - wood" - it's Welsh). It was the class that used to be mine (that and the Thursday class). Most of the people that came back in were like, "welcome back, are you back for good?!" and it made me feel really good :-) It was nice to know I was missed. It was a really good class too. I'm teaching the same set tomorrow in East Norriton. I'll probably add one more song since the music finished with like 6 minutes before the class was supposed to be over...but I digress. Then I went to Cabrini and worked there til about 3:30. I met up with Paul afterwards and we went out for dinner at Rock Bottom. Then....mini golfing. Let's just say...Paul is the new Sergio Garcia. Haha :-) It was still fun. I'm just a sore loser :-)
Wednesday I went for a run outside because there was a lot less humidity - 5 miles. I felt pretty good but slow. Turns out I was only going 8:44/mile. Slower for me but I guess my legs were tired so I'll chalk it up to that. I then headed over to Mermaid to drop off the awards and such. I also had a swim lesson - which we JUST got in before the rain. I was supposed to teach another lesson after that but the rain made it impossible so we rescheduled. It's nice to have a little extra income in that way that'll will most likely continue through the school year. I then proceeded home and watched the Phils sweep the Rockies! yeah baby! Then headed to my last class of the summer! Yay! We were there for all of 15 minutes. I met up with Brian after class since he was pretty persistent in hanging out (seriously, atleast once every three or four days). Had a few beers and some munchies....caught up a bit and then headed home. It was pouring last night - so nice to listen to on the roof. Isn't that the best? When you can hear the rain fall? Yes, I knew you'd agree :-)
Today I'm amping myself up for a run then I have to go back to Mermaid to drop off the present the coaches got our head guard to thank him for helping us this summer. Seriously, he was a huge help. Then I'm heading out to Cabrini then I'm stopping by my dad's. He had foot surgery a few weeks ago so he's been sitting on his butt for three weeks. Hopefully he'll get the stitches out tomorrow and be able to go to back to work at some point. I know he's bored out of his mind. I feel badly that I'm so busy but I know he understands.
This weekend, until Wednesday, I'm house sitting for one of my swimmers. I'm kind of excited to be alone and away from everyone this weekend. I plan on reading a LOT and plan on going on a nice long run on Saturday (as long as the weather holds up). I'm also meeting up with my swim team captains to discuss this year's team and expectations, so I'm pretty excited about that too. The jury is still out if I'm going to go out on Friday - Saturday I won't because I'm teaching spin on Sunday morning (hopefully cute Nathan will be there).
Anyway - I'm off to go run :-)

Thirty, Flirty and Thriving.....?
Anyone know which movie my subject/title is from? Anyone? Bueller? (not Ferris Bueller's Day Off)......it's from '13 Going On 30'. Love that movie. Watched it the night before my 30th Bday Shindig. Pictures will be posted eventually.
My apologies for my disappearing act - July was a CRAZY month. The swim team engulfed my life - literally - and I nearly had a breakdown on several occasions. Thank goodness for Lacey and AnnMarie (my assistant coaches)! They definitely helped keep me sane and as a sounding board to let me know I wasn't imagining things with this one parent from hell. I swear to you all that is NOT an exaggeration. If you want full details I can relish you with them some other time. I'd like to keep this particular post on a positive end :-)
So ....the question mark......at the end of my subject. Because the jury's still out. Am I Thirty, Flirty and Thriving? For the most part, yes. Yes to 30. Yes to Flirty. And partially Yes to Thriving. I've been so busy the last month that I haven't really had any me time and although I took some time for my birthday and a friend's birthday - I haven't done anything. I haven't seen some of my closest friends in a while. I miss them. I'm hoping August will help me with that. I have TONS more time this month, although I find myself doing whatever I can to keep myself busy. Did I mention how bad I am at relaxing? :-)
Things to do this month:
-Spend time with friends!
-Work on the RTF 5K stuff
-Finish my summer class
-Get my 2nd USSwimming Cert
-Get Re-certified in CPR/First Aid
-Go to Phillies Games
-Organize a Renfrew Presentation at LMHS
-Teach more Spin Classes
-Find a way to make more money (haha, as always)
-Eventually Relax
Those are just a few things that have been building up on my list of things to accomplish this summer. I have to say, after the June and July I had, I don't know if I am going to want to coach again next summer. The kids were amazing but it was a single parent that ruined what was supposed to be an awesome summer. Amazing how ONE bad apple can spoil the whole bunch. We'll see. I need some time away from it before I make any solid decisions.
I hope to blog every day this month. I have a lot to talk about. I haven't really had a chance to voice anything about what's going on in my head or heart as of late. So, Painter, just for you...I'll be sharing an extraordinary amount of personal information in the next month - hold on to your butts! :-)
As for now - I'm off to the gym (the one thing I did manage to continue with during my crazy two months) to run. Side note - I started doing some P90X workouts - not as tough as I thought they'd be....I was/am slightly disappointed.
Hasta luego!
