Catching up?

Nope, not really any catching up going on.  Having trouble squeezing it all in these days.  I'm way behind on my blog reading.   Even started to fall behind on my running a bit, but trying to straighten that out now.  Missed my long run this weekend.  Ended up getting in an unexpected "little project" around the house.  Ughh.

I'm still trying to keep ahead of the gardening and keep it looking nice.  So far, so good.  Everything is growing nicely.

The scale went up this week, which I wasn't thrilled about, but should drop right back down this week...hoping, although we did have some regular ice cream last night, which I don't usually allow in our house, but it happened. 

Got a run in yesterday morning early and feel like going out tonight....so that's what I'm going to do.  Don't know how it will go.  Kinda warm out there, but should start cooling down in about a half hour. 

I seriously struggled with the tracking last week.  What's up with that?  I've always been a faithful tracker, but somehow I found myself "falling off the wagon".  Am I getting disinterested?  If I am, there are a couple of answers as to why.  Now the question is what am I going to do about it.  I have ALWAYS loved my Saturday morning meetings and love the friends I have made there, but we're all getting a little frustrated lately.  New leader, not nearly as motivating as our lovely Carol was.  Actually, new leader not very motivating at all.  The meetings are kind of mixed up with no real destination.  Yes, even though I'm at goal, I still try to hit as many Saturday weekly meetings as possible because I know that's what keeps me where I'm at.  It's like putting gas in my car.  So I think it's time to venture out and see what else is out there at other meetings before I start slipping.

I found a training program that I think I'd like to follow for my upcoming first ever half-marathon in the fall.  It's basically a 12-week program, which means I actually don't store serious training for another month.  I'm trying to stay out there running three times a week though, keep moving, keep stretching, and maybe work on my speed a little.  

Okay.  Speaking of running, time to get myself together and get out there.  

My goal is to start catching up my blog reading TONIGHT, a few at a time, if my eyes can stay open long enough.
