ring around the ...

wow! So I just went and posted a comment somewhere else and then realized I did actually do this myself once in awhile once upon a time. So funny. So here is whats up lately: I did a 5k dressed as a salad (super salad actually, cape made of lettuce. very nice.) this past weekend, its getting cold again and my weekly mileage is down--around 10-12 a week for the last couple weeks--I'm trying to stick there / get back up into the 15-20 miles a week range, but I'm having some weird knotting in my right calf muscles, which I attribute to running pretty regularly with a friend who is a faster runner for awhile this summer. It changed my gait, which I didn't expect to happen, and that has resulted in some weirdness, but overall it was really great, and I would do it more if my schedule allowed, but right now she's off running marathons and the like, so we're not really in the same league for the moment.
Um, yeah, not much has changed really. I mean things have, but in ways where they also stayed the same mostly. I am living in a different part of the same city, with my boyfriend (haha, same guy, new living situation) and my cats, and still working at the same job and loving it. Still obsessing about money periodically--the new apartment is double the price of the house my sister and I lived in, which is totally lame, but it is nice (and bf kept saying "don't cheap out on me!" every time I would point to a cheaper listing / hem and haw about an ocean view really being worth $xxxx.xx a month ) --its just that it makes it harder to fund all of the various schemes I have going (the retirement scheme, the buy a house some day scheme, the have christmas scheme the travel the world scheme...I'm a schemer) which I really have trouble letting go of--to the point of not changing my automatic withdrawls and living on the $110 I had left for the first two pay periods in the new place...I did fix that this week though, so hopefully I won't feel like a pauper next month.
And maybe I will actually start doing this again. I do enjoy spouting off on the internet still as well :) See--everything really is the same!
