All confused and whatnot....

It's been one of those days. Actually one of those months. I thought it was OCTOBER but no, here it is dang near DECEMBER. I mean I didn't really think it was October, but November is a blur. A complete mess of days and hours that I can hardly recalll. How in the world did it come to be November 30th? I have been confused all month long. Seriously. November has flown by. Kid you not-it feels like we went from Halloween to Thanksgiving to today.

All day I thought LB had a program at school. I even called the school this afternoon to find out the details about when to be there and what to wear. I somehow missed the details with him out for an entire week with his arm and then out the next week with Thanksgiving. Long story short I juggled my day so that I could make the hour commute in time to see his program at 5:30 just to find out that his program is actually tomorrow night. I hate it when that happens.

When I got home I was starving and The Hubs had dinner on the table. SCORE! So I didn't run. No biggie except LB's program is tomorrow and directly after that I am meeting J-Ninja for dinner and (not just any) movie-Breaking Dawn! I can't wait! So no run tomorrow.....That leaves me with Friday. No run Friday. We are having company and I have to prepare and all that jazz. So the days are packed full and there is hardly time to take a breath, which is good until I come up for air and a whole entire month has passed by.

With the next few days being crazy busy I probably wont have a chance to update the blog but I didn't want you all to think i was slipping back into my slump! No way Jose! I'm crawling out, and staying out! It's just getting to be that time of year I guess. And since it's December I guess I should start my Christmas shopping. Oops.

Have you ever blinked and a whole month passes by? I hope that doesn't happen again!!

I am off to curl up with a good book! Tall Mom-the amazing Mom on the Run sent me not one but TWO books to help me come out of my slump! And this is not the first time she has thrown me a life-line. Mel has such a special place in my heart for many reasons, not only was she my first blind running/blogger date, she came and subjected herself to pain and agony for 26.2 miles with me in Vegas nearly a year ago. Only a true friend would do that! I can't believe it has nearly been a year since we last saw each other. Too long.... I am so blessed to call her friend. I continue to be amazed by the friendships forged over the miles run together.


Have you ever read either of these books?

  1. I read the Happpiness project and found it very inspiring to do my own Happiness Project :) I have the 2nd book as well, but didn't start yet.

    Enjoy reading :)

  4. Born to run is one of those "Why didn't I think of that?" sort of books. Love it.

    And November really only took like three days.

  5. I read Born to Run. Motivating story!!!

    What? You mean November is over???? crap

    My duaghter starts a few months of bball practices twice a week and we have play practice through December. That's 3 nights/days of running to practices and "killing" time in town. Ugh! I still haven't figured out how I'll work everything in. I think it will be early mornings and late nights for a while. I hoping to kill some time at the gym (if I can swing a couple month's membership).

  6. I've read the Happiness Project - helped me get out of a slump. For 9 months, I conducted my own project. I highly recommend.

    The second book is on my wish list

  9. Born to Run is going to make you want to go out and run. Probably change some of your views on running too.

  10. I've read Born to Run and Love it!! Makes you see reasons why you run in such a new and different light!

  11. I've read both books and enjoyed both of them. It took me a while to really get into Born to Run but once I did I found it hard to put it down. The Happiness Project is a great book with lots of inspiring info and tips. I've applied a few of her principles to my life :)

  12. I just bought the Happiness Project 5-year journal, gives you a few blank lines for every day. Though I didn't read her book, I have read articles and interviews about it and it sounds like an inspiring read.

  13. I have read Born to Run, and it is an amazing book! It made me want to get out and run, but it also leaves you feeling positive and motivated. Definitely a recommended read to anyone I know. You'll love it!

  14. I've read both of those books and really enjoyed Born to Run. I felt like the Happiness Project was contrived...but that's probably just me being cynical, haha. I suggest Born to Run first - it's so challenging and inspiring.

  15. I've read The Happiness Project and enjoyed it. Take it for what it is, even if you adopted a couple ideas from the book it's a win. The other is on my Kindle Wish List when I'm ready. Happy Reading!

  16. I really enjoyed Born to Run, it motivated me to get out there and run again after I had been in a bit of a rut. I haven't read the Happiness Project, but I'd be interested to hear what you think. :) Enjoy!

  18. I bought the Happiness one but haven't been able to dig into it yet. I will be excited to hear what you think about it.

  19. WE saw each other in June Silly :) Nowhere near a year yet..hehe

    I love you too and hope that the books help with the slump..you have so much light to give the world and when I see your flame start to go out I need to find little ways to light it again.. Which is tough been miles and miles and miles apart.

    Pretty sure that scoring and AWESOME 10K PR lit that spark.

    HUGS and love!!

    Mel

  20. I loved "Born to Run"! Wish that I could actually run barefoot. I know that there is some research supporting it, but then there is some that doesn't support it. So, I go with what I know and what works!
