Motivation gets you started, habit keeps u going

5:45 am run...sooooooooooooooo great...love it! 64 degrees at the end of the run.

well off to my moms. I'm making her help me address wedding invitations...LOL

The plan was to wake up at 5:45 and run 10. But at 4:30 and again at 5 and then at 5:30 I heard rolling thunder. It is now 8 and it is still thundering and raining. We seem to be getting hit hard by storms this year. I remember it raining last year but still being able to run in it. Thunder keeps me indoors.

It is also day 4 of waking up with feeling like there is a lump in my throat.

Today I started my time of the month...so I'm eating my mom's home made bread and I had bacon and eggs with my mom's garden tomatoes...very comforting. I don't have to work tonight so it maybe a good time to fininsh this book I"m reading Copper Sun if you are interested. I also started listening to a book on tape called Life as We Knew It

5:50 am run. I talked myself out of a 10 miler. I have an interview today at 9am. I figure I would be back from a 10 by 8. But I still wanted to re iron my suit and just do some other mental prep work. So I did 4. I was glad to b/c it was very very humid. Looks like more storms are coming my way as well. I just hope it pours on me after I get my hair into the building for the interview. I would hate to look like a hot mess!

I tossed and turned all night so I"m sure I will need a nap later.

I finished Copper Sun  yesterday--great book. Now I"m reading There Are No Shoeartcuts. Really good start as well.

Speaking of rain--just started to rain and my flower pot was blown over and some how my screen door was blown open...weird. b/c we always have it locked.

5:50am run. 70 degrees.

The wind felt great that early. But as my run got longer the sun came out and made it blah. My miles got slower. But still felt great doing them.

In other news--my interview went well. One of my friends was in on the interview and told her hubby who told my SO that I impressed the principal and that they thought I was a candidate. I just wish I knew which position. Neither is a teaching job full on. ONe is for a teaching assistant and the other is a Reading interventionist. Money wise I hope I get the reading job. Either job I could be happy with. Both are only for the school year. But frankly, I get paid more being a waitress than I would as an assistant. How sad is that? Oh and these jobs I would work 30 hours a week andI work less than that as a waitress...

Well my truck needs washing before it gets too hot.

6:30 am run...nice and chill (maybe 60ish degrees?). So I took advantage and ran 2 MP miles.

Im not sure if I blogged about this but I have really beat myself up this week.

Monday I went to my parents house. They have had some flooding issues and wante my bro and I to carry out the old hot water tank. Well my brother put it down several times without telling me and my knee went right into the tank. I have a nice bruise on my knee cap. It is okay Karma got him b/c the tank rolled on his toe. I also stubbed my toe.

They yesterday I went to get the garden hose to wash my truck. Well I had to pass over one of our sidwalks. This is where we have our sump pump pumping out water. It is kinda slimy and I forgot, I was barefoot...and I went down for the count on the side of my thigh. I have a nice bruise there and yes it hurts. Hurt more when I touch it or accidently sit on it. Right turns in my truck are brutal. I'm super surprised that I got my run in this morning.

I kept hitting the snooze this morning. My leg hurts. and SO got a flat tire in the NEW vehicle (as in we just made the first car payment) so I have to go see about getting the tire fixed or getting a new tire...and I thought we were gonna have extra money this month. Sigh.

Needless to say I don't much feel like running. I have the whole day off so maybe I will get it in later. for now I must go to the car place. BLAH.
