Rest Week + 12 miler!

Monday STRENGTH
Tuesday RUN 4 miles, 36 mins with 4x 800 pickups (~60s)
Friday RUN and STRENGTH: 3 mile treadmill then strength
Sunday RUN 12 miles 1:14, even splits

What a productive and restful week! And a good one for my Coach plans: 129.2! Whoa!

Tuesday's run was fantastic, south to Target and back with 4 half mile pickups. The Garmin said 8-8:30 m/m pace! 

Friday's run was to/from the gym as originally planned, it ended up being on the treadmill. Still got it done.

Sunday long run!! It was a windy day, I ran east to Country Farm Park then back into the wind. I was wore out by 11 miles, mentally and physically. It went great, now I still need to register for the marathon, but I'm waiting because ...  because of the week prior. I don't know how things are going to go

In other news of the week, I'm selling my first stained glass projects maybe! I'll have to update, haha. My decluttering is quiet during the week, but this weekend while LA is in MO I'll have a go at that. And a big go on my to-do list, it's backed up with things from the last few weeks. Genealogy cleanup and declutter, declutter/basement cleanup, shop for and make family birthday presents, and buying new running shoes for the marathon I need to register for. I've set a goal to clear the list this weekend.

In other news, I'm starting my job as lab manager (interim?) and it feels good, to my surprise. So far anyway. I feel like I'm taking ownership a little, investing in the lab more. And I can make changes without worrying about stepping on someone else's job/toes. I'm motivated to improve things here for me and everyone. Am I good leader or manager? I guess I'll find out. In the meantime, I have this Huge to do list! 

And other news, 129 was seen yesterday and I got to wear the boots. And I get a song when I see it again. There was a new moon yesterday at 12:34pm and seriously yo you know I love a good alignment. I've been M'ing again and It Needs To Stop. And the Dairy I've been trying - It's Not Working. STOP. 

Lastly, my energy and focus and fantastic. No symptoms of anything. I think my anxiety is being addressed, it's certainly not perfect, but I wake up and I paint with coffee (I painted a pear with my new paints, I love my new paints!) or like this morning I finalized my stained glass sales for today instead of painting. One concern is my doggie, who doesn't get much attention lately. She doesn't get walked much, and it would be good for me to allot some time for that now that the weather has improved..

OOH Lastly for real this time - we're planning our wedding!

Post week Monday update. 129 replaced by 133. I didn't stop the dairy, and M is still here. Is that why? I dunno. But I keep saying no more and but then there's more?! LA was in MO, I got a LOT done over the weekend, but the M too. Happily, I didn't by the cream cheese I wanted and I put back the almond butter I picked up!
