bleh

I am really blah right now when it comes to any training.
My heart is just not into it.
Did a run last Tuesday and that was the last thing I have done....oops. I missed all sorts of workouts on the schedule last week. I just am not that interested...
Had thought about doing the half marathon at the end of the month but I don't think I could run that and do a good job of it so will be either at the lake if the weather is good OR on the sidelines cheering. We have had so much going on the last few weeks...work is very busy...I am taking a course, in a few months I will be a Financial Divorce Analyst...yes...there is an Academy and courses and you get a "designation" to put behind your name at the end of it!! Not that I care about the letters, but it is very interesting and a critical time in people's lives to be helping them with their finances. The financial decisions they make, usually under emotional distress, are often times not great ones.
Matthew has been invited to the Black Belt Club at TKD. This means one more night per week. yikes...not so sure I am into that...he has really excelled and this is basically a fast track to his black belt but he IS only 7 years old...Luke's birthday party this weekend...I have booked a real Jedi Knight and Darth Vader to come by and hang out with all the 4 year olds...am I the coolest mom EVER??!!!
Our pipes at the cabin froze last fall. Nice. A very expensive and stupid mistake we will NOT make again...as in we will be up there earlier in the fall to get them looked after. So have had to find and organize a plumber to go up there and do all that work.
We pulled all of the shingles off our house this weekend and are about 90% done putting the new ones on. Holy. Hell. That is alot of work. Being out there in the hot sun and heat makes me come to work today and hug my desk. And the air conditioning!! My poor hubby up there sweatin it out but it looks fantastic and he does an immaculate job but those were some long hot days up there!
The hockey wind up was on Saturday night....and I drank like it was 1988!! So no Sunday swim for this hung over gal...omgosh we were so lucky to have such a great group of families in our first year of hockey. My guts hurt from laughing and my head hurt from drinking. Was a very good night.
Today I thought I could possibly go to the gym for my power class....but I slept through the alarm...how lame is that? I can remember about 3 times in my entire life I have slept through an alarm...I ALWAYS wake up before that damn thing goes off!! But I think carrying 1000 garbage cans worth of shingles and other crap to the bin should count for something....

Let's see, wasn't it just a month or so a go you ran a little race in Boston. A little effing MARATHON!!!!

I think you're allowed to be bleh after that for a while.

Exactly what Keith said!!! And hauling all those shingles around in the heat and blazing sun is HARD, HARD work.

Did you go back and read what the past week has been filled with for you? My God, it sounds like you were Jenna on speed, with all that stuff going on. No wonder you feel bleh!!

Some good rest will fix you up -- if you can squeeze any in! :) :)

Um, you have been working out just not in the swim/bike/run type of way. Sounds like you had a really busy week! LOL about the "I drank like it was 1988!!" part. Cracking up. I can't wait to drink my face off after this baby comes out. Just kidding. Sort of.

Hang in there - motivation will come and go and when you don't have it, it's OK. That's just your body telling you, you need a break. Especially if you slept through your alarm. Time to rest up. :)
