Adult Truths

Today I attempted Week Four, Day Three of the Couch to 5K training plan.

The run today was supposed to look like this:
5 min warmup walk
3 mins run
1.5 mins walk
5 mins run
2.5 mins walk
3 mins run
1.5 mins walk
5 mins walk
5 mins cool down walk

Unfortunately, I have just started running outside as opposed to the treadmill so I am having a hard time adjusting to the differences. Therefore, my running got spotty and I could not complete the plan all the way. I did my best and I will go out there again tomorrow, keep running until I can easily do this routine, and work my way up to the next week.

Today's run was 2 miles in 27:16.

Total miles this week: 2

I'm also trying to save money..so I'm trying to have have 3-4 days a week where I do not spend money. I'm also trying to pick up more shifts at work. My bank account is dwindling and it's holiday season!

Total no spend days this week: 1

I saw this on one of my favorite blogs...Iowa Girl Eats and I had to repost it!


****** 20 ADULT TRUTHS ******

  1. Sometimes I’ll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.
  2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.
  3. I totally take back all those times I didn’t want to nap when I was younger.
  4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.
  5. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
  6. Was learning cursive really necessary?
  7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on #5. I’m pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
  8. I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t at least kind-of tired.
  9. Bad decisions make good stories.
  10. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren’t going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.
  11. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don’t want to have to restart my collection…again.
  12. I’m always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.
  13. I keep some people’s phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
  14. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
  15. I disagree with Kay Jewelers; I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Light than Kay.
  16. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
  17. How many times is it appropriate to say “What?” before you just nod and smile because you still didn’t hear or understand a word they said?
  18. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!
  19. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.
  20. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey – but I’d bet everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time.
