sorry for lack of updates. well, who can blame me? sunday was father's day so i went to the burbs to visit my daddio. it was good - we shared this amazing cake (birthday and father's day). i went back to the city on a time schedule because i had to pick up a prescription (now that i have benefits). i thought the drug mart closed at 8 pm but it closed at 6 pm - dammit! the shoppers drug mart by my house is the WORST. only open 8 until 8 and 6 on sundays. some are 24 hours or at least open until midnight. gee whiz.
monday was the photo shoot. LONG DAY. i left my house at 7 am to be there by 8. outside all day, doing manual labor in the hot sun. it was fun though and of course a valuable learning experience. it was still going when i left at 6:30 pm, but i had to make sure that i'd be back in the city by 8 pm - when the drug store closed!
i realized on the weekend that i forgot to renew my license plates. man, it's one thing after another, isn't it? i would have just mailed in the form when it came, but every two years you have to get your emissions tested before you can renew, and it was my time. so i did that tuesday at lunch, and today i'm going to actually renew the plates. yabba dabba!
yesterday was my first day of half-marathon training. it should have been monday but i was too exhausted after being outside all day to go running. it's supposed to look like this this week:
monday: running 30 minutes
tuesday: 30 minutes another activity
wednesday: rest
thursday: running 30 minutes
friday: 30 minutes another activity
saturday: 2-mile run
sunday: rest
i think the training is beneath my level at the moment so i'm going to stick to my current length and then increase my distance on the schedule later.
my week will look like this:
monday: rest
tuesday: 5-mile (50ish minutes) running
wednesday: 30 minutes swimming
thursday: 5-miles running
friday: 30 minutes swimming
saturday: 5-miles running
sunday: rest
am i going to screw myself up? yesterday i ran right after work and it was HOT. dayum. i wore my fuel belt so it was ok.
that's that. my birthday party on the weekend was a smashtacular success but i'll post about that tomorrow.
and my other special bf gift which i have not revealed yet. i will say, however, that it's already motivating me not to mindlessly snack at nighttime. yippee skippy!

Wow, you are busy! Sorry your Shoppers sucks :(
P.S. I am twitterstalking you. Tweetstalking? Err...following. Via twitter.
Wow, your shoppers is crazy!! Closing that early is unheard of in Shoppper-land!?!?! jeeperz
You sure are a busy bee lately! Don't forget to sneak in some much-needed 'you' time every so often! (ever so often? every so often? ... you know what i mean!)
you won't screw yourself up if you keep to your current schedule and then increase when the "training" schedule catches up to you. The whole point of the training is to work up gradually so you're peaking for your race, which is what you will be doing - you're just starting a bit ahead!
oooh can't wait to hear about the birthday! (and present!)
that totally sucks about that store's hours. Lame.
