Not a lot today

I have successfully run 14 days out of 14 (yes, I know that today is the 15th, I run in the evening, so I'll run tonight).  There's only been one day that I haven't wanted to run, last night, but I put on my shoes (and shorts) and ran one mile.  Tonight is the Seahawks game, so it's a short 3 miles on the treadmill while the game is on. (Sadly)

The biggest reason I didn't want to run last night was because I had homework to do and I didn't want to wait.  Well, I didn't really want to do my homework, but that also is non-negotiable.  I have yet to turn in any school work late, but there are definitely times when I don't feel like doing it.  I also notice when I have a paper due for school I don't feel like writing on here, and that is what I am feeling today.

This week has been ridiculously busy.  I don't know why this week has been worse than other weeks, I don't really know why.  Today has been the first day I haven't been running around crazily at work.  In fact, I knew that I wouldn't have a lot to do today and almost called in sick today.  I didn't, but I should have.  ; )

So, last Friday was the first weigh in after my official knuckle down and actually start working on it again.  And I lost 2 lbs.  It's hard to say that because I think that I'm going to gain this week.  The biggest thing I did last week was really cut down on my wine intake.  And I also didn't eat out at all for lunch or get coffee.  This week I've already had more wine, and eaten out 2 times.  I guess we'll see.

Last week I mentioned that the fast run is what really bothers my hip, well, I think it's either the increase in running (which really isn't that much, just about 3 more miles a week, but I'm still under 20 miles weekly) or the weather.  I didn't have much problem after I quit my pace runs in the summer, but I only did one fast run and it still is bothering me.  I did hear somewhere that weather does affect arthritis, so I'm thinking it's the colder, wetter weather.

This was from my Saturday run.  I ran 3 miles on the treadmill and then the neighbor kids and Maddox wanted to go for a run so we went around the block, and then they weren't done so we went around the bigger block.  We probably ran .75 miles but I only turned my Garmin on after starting the second block.  =)
