I am so bad at updating lj, I have no excuse! We had a good weekend in PA, the wedding was nice and surprisingly normal consider the bride and groom are Mennonites, the drive left me a little motion sick and I made a few bad eating choices (DQ oreo blizzard and potato skin things from Arby's at 9:30 at night tasted good, but BAD IDEA HEATHER!), but

Are you liking your work schedule?

There's a halloween 5K in October that this morning (in my half asleep not thinking clearly mind) I thought about signing up for to force myself to run. BUT - I still have my damn bike ride to train for and just don't think I could get myself up to that this soon.

I am SO conflicted about my schedule. on one hand I love my free mornings and I get a TON done during the week that I would have never done after work. however, I hate being alone at work for hours (there is on other person that works late, but she does it remotely from NY) and I feel kinda disconnected from the rest of the group.

So when you started the running were you like... totally out of shape? or just so so or what? I have off an on thought about trying it, but man.. I am out of shape for sure. Should I toughen up first and become an excellent walker before I do the running or what?

[paper_wings]

I was totally out of shape, last time I had done any exercise was.... uh, I don't even know. You really don't need to do anything to prepare for this, since it's a gradual progression. you should do it!!

Your wedding and Josh and Nicole's wedding are tied for the most awesome weddings I've ever been to :) hehe about the miniature farm!

your weekend sounds fun! just remember to drink lots of water in between beers.

[paper_wings]

oooh yeah water, I always forget the water, so that's a good tip!!

also i saw you signed up for the hockey game/pub crawl jon is planning, that is awesome!!! it is going to be such a fun time!

[ladygwyn]

Yeah, I normally wouldn't go to a hockey game, but it sounds like a lot of fun! Let me know about the tickets.

[paper_wings]

I'll definitely let you know - jon is looking into group rates, cause we already have something like 12 or more people coming. plus we were thinking of buying the cheap (like $10) tickets anyway!

awesome!! I recommended Couch to 5K to someone else just starting running, and she likes the podcasts too. y ou'll be onto a marathon in no time!

[paper_wings]

I don't know about a marathon! but I already plan to spend a few weeks trying to speed up my pace and then moving on to some 10k podcasts I found, so I'm excited!
