I need new goals to focus on. I've been treading along here and there....cheating here and there....and you know the saying "stupidity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results"...something like that. Well that's been me lately. Time to set some concrete goals and actually take the steps to hit them. I'll post them soon, I've been writing them down in a notebook.
I'm becoming addicted and dependent on caffeine. Not a great thing. I love the feeling though and I get so much more accomplished! The problem is how I feel if I DON'T have it. Not good.
I woke up at 4:45am today to head outdoors for a run. I asked Jon to get me some pepper spray for the future b/c I just didn't feel 100% safe running this morning. I run on a trail along the river....all wooded and mostly lit, but not all of it. I kept looking over my shoulder and having thoughts of someone attacking me and dumping me in the river. Nice huh. He's going to get me something to take. Hopefully I can keep up with these morning runs, and then I'll lift weights at the gym after work. This body needs to get stronger, I MISS feeling strong. I need something to focus on....a race perhaps. I'll have to look around.

Okay, if you are having thoughts of it not being safe it probably isn't. I hate that feeling because then you start thinking of all the bad stuff, obviously. I think a race is just what you need. You will stay more focused. I always have to have something to keep me going too.
I limit myself to 2 cups of coffee a day. I seem to need the caffein to get through the day, but anything more than the 2 cups and my heart rate goes through the roof!
I'm with the others about running in the trail. There's a trail by me which is perfect for running. But, I never go there during the weekdays during my early runs because it's still deserted. I usually just run around my neighborhood. I do run in the trail on the weekends since I can go there later in the morning when there's more people.
If you do decide to keep running in the trail, definitely get the pepper spray. Also, try to run without the headphones, if you're not doing it already.
Just wanted to say "hi." Your new baby is so cute! Can't wait to see her when she's full grown. Congrats on looking for a new house. Not sure about the lunch talk dilemma. Sometimes it's best not to be in on the lunch talk. Ignorance is bliss. Good luck with running and PLEASE be careful!
Pepper spray is a must if you want to keep running that trail. Not to scare you even more, but people come up missing everyday. Please be careful. You know they say you should always listen to that little voice inside, if it's saying be careful, then please be careful. You WILL get your focus back, it's just that time of year and everyone is at that point. It will come and soon.
