Swimming…

..in a sea of boxes.

No. Fun.

Well all of our stuff arrived on Friday and I spent the entire day unpacking boxes.  Saturday was dedicated to the kitchen and LB’s room. Our room has some work to be done but it is livable. The living room has boxes laying around, the office is almost to par and the guest room…well lets just say I hope we don’t have guest for a while. The movers somehow lost our box spring so our bed is sitting on the floor until we make our way our to buy a new one. Also the frame for the guest bed is broken too. A few other things are missing, which is NEVER good. The Hubs is quite upset, as he should be. Moving is no fun. Period.

So, needless to say running has landed on the back burner. I have been getting a good workout though. I lifted ridiculous boxes to the Hubs in the attic today and yesterday we did a back yard cross train smoke session. We did four sets each of squats, push-ups and sit-ups. I was SO sore! Today I broke away from the box madness to meet up my friend Breaking Pace for a nice 6.83 mile bike ride! It was great to catch up with an old friend, even though I tried to be fancy and ride beside her at one point on a narrow path and ended up yelling, “I’m crashing!” All was good and I caught myself before I hit the ground. Other than that we had a great ride and plan to do it again soon. You will be hearing much more about her I am sure, but if you want to check out her blog click HERE.

It is awesome to build my network of running/biking buddies. It is so much easier to stay motivated when you have friends to keep you company! Now, hopefully starting tomorrow I will get back on track! Wish me luck!

And for good measure, here is the gas station nearest our house:

  3. Good luck unpacking. I hate packing and unpacking. Maybe I will dream for you an unpacking fairy to take your place while you go for a run. :)

  4. yuck, unpacking is the worst. On the flip side I've always learned to pair down when I unpack and realize how much I don't need.

  11. How does one actually go about losing a box spring set anyway? It's not like it's easily misplaced or anything! Jeez.....
