Work, Work, Work

Well with no running and crappy weather this week has been all work, work, work. 

I give you a typical week at work:


Pretty much all day everyday

When my boss acts surprised when I figure something out all on my own


When a coworker tries, yet again, to throw me under the bus during a meeting but this time I am prepared


When I get an email response from someone who basically says what I am asking them to do is beneath them

When I am asked to do an extensive amount of research on a topic that has no relevance to anything


 After I am assigned yet another huge project to be done in a ridiculously short amount of time


 When a coworker, who I can not stand, comes to my cube to complain about their life
 oh and by the way


At the end of a day filled with meetings


The strange compulsion I fight while sitting in meetings


When I am walking to my friend's office and see the boss go in their office first


How I feel when I get to see my favorite people at work



 When I realize today is a Friday of a THREE DAY WEEKEND!


Happy Memorial Day everyone!

    Haha, awesome. I'm like Betty White, why can't I just spend my days with animals instead of people?! Have a great weekend!

      Oh yes it is serving me well;). I just see them when I am wasting my life away on the internet. Also if you google anything and put gif something funny will come up.

    Change co-workers to kids in those scenarios, and we have the exact same life. Except instead of emailing me, they just scream stuff in my face.

    LOVE the Anchorman one (and can relate to most)!

Training Week 10/9/2017-10/15/2017....or lack of...

....not to give the ending away but this week was a bit of a bust. Last weekend I felt under the weather and by Monday- bam- felt like death. And that freakin cold was a stage 5 clinger and really lingered. SO. MUCH. COUGHING. Monday: Nothing but naps, and couch time. Luckily this guy was around to keep me company. Tuesday: A light weight workout at home. Skipped my scheduled run due to lack of ability to breath without hacking up a lung. Wednesday: Tried to get back on the wagon. Did 2 miles on the treadmill with 8 30 seconds fast, 30 seconds recovery thrown in. Coughed so hard I almost puked. Got off treadmill and laid on floor. Did manage to lift weights during lunch. Bonus points for me. Thursday: After a night of coughing, reset my alarm and slept in until 7. Ran 3 miles outside in the evening with 3 minute run/ 1 minute walk. Felt good until the last mile and then that walk break began to creep up in time as the coughing and snot production increased. But it got don...

Wisconsin Marathon Race Review

Image
First things first- I loved the Wisconsin marathon. It was a great race and I had a ton of fun. I achieved my goal of finishing in under 5 hours and I guess have a new marathon PR by about 43 minutes.....even though this one is seven years after my first marathon. Most importantly there never came a time when I was running the marathon where I regretted my decision to run one. Miles toward the end got tough and uncomfortable but as one lady I ran with exclaimed "hey we are running a marathon today! This is awesome!" It was awesome and I am super excited for my next attempt at 26.2 miles. To the details! Packet Pick-up: packet pick-up was low key at the Best Western in Kenosha the day before the race. In and out in about five minutes with number, t-shirt, cheese samples and a bag full of flyers for other races. This race has two other packet pick-ups on different days near Chicago and one near Milwaukee. They make it easy to get your number. I love the design of the ra...

The forever taper

Image
The weird thing about running all of the marathons and half marathons in a month and a half's time is that it really throws off the normal schedule of working out. I haven't been lifting cause I don't want to hurt myself and because I need all the power my under trained body can muster to finish the next two marathons on the schedule. Getting burnt out on lifting seems not smart right now.  I also haven't been running very much unless it involves a finish line and a medal because I am worried about doing too much and my tendinitis coming back and frankly I have just been tired and sore from doing a marathon and then a half back to back. I did three miles this morning and it took forever and I was just not interested in running at all. Completing three miles took all of my willpower. Not doing anything physical has left me with some extra time on my hands which I have used to catch up on some reading. This book is dark but as I read on I liked it more and ...
