Musings & Monday

Well, it's been a while hasn't it? Things have calmed down a bit and I can finally start getting caught up on my musings... Believe me, I have plenty.

Shall we?

1. I ran my first double digit run on Saturday, and let me tell you, the jump between 8.5 miles to 10 miles is a big one. My knees hurt so bad Saturday night, I couldn't even roll over to move the dog off my feet. Whew, painful. But so worth it and so rewarding.

2. Seriously, at mile 9 I got the worst side stitch of my life--I really thought I might die right there on the trail. It started in my chest and went sideways down my stomach to my hips--almost felt like a hernia. I was reminded of the episode of Friends--"Damn you fifteens!". But, as soon as I "gave up" and turned around, the damn thing went away, so, I turned back around and finished out my 10.1 miles. So glad I did.

3. My legs still freaking hurt, but, whatever.

4. I think I have recruited a church friend to be a crazy runner and join the running club with me--yahoo!

5. Saw a brand new Maserati pulling out of a parking spot in front of Nordstrom Rack on Saturday. Really Mr. Brand New Maserati? Really?

6. Wearing my super cute new empire waist white tee shirt today--yay for online shopping!

7. Spent extreme amounts of $$ on makeup this weekend. The loot? Carmindy's new lipgloss by Sally Hansen in a berry bronzey color--perfect for when I actually get tan. Burt's Bees chapstick. Clinique Black Honey Almost Lipstick--I have been wanting to try this for years, but, have never made the "commitment" if you will--I love it. It's perfect. It may just replace my favorite Bare Minerals lipgloss.

8. Laid out by the pool for exactly 20 minutes. Was too damn hot. But, managed to get a little color on my stomach. Which just means I was ghost white to start with. Seriously need to go spray tanning. Any of you ladies (or gents) have a recommendation? I've heard Planet Tan has a clear tanning mist that I am curious about, but there is a Palm Beach tan literally across the street from my house. Any tips?

9. It's funny that I bought 3 workout DVDs last week and two of them are still sitting on the kitchen table in their wrappers. Don't judge--I opened one of them and did yoga last week. Plus, I can't do the butt, hips and thighs workout because genius me didn't see the note that said "two sets of 3-8 pound dumbbells recommended". Guess who doesn't have two sets on 3-8 pound dumbbells? That's right.

10. My bestie is working at a luncheon with me today and then we're going to a late lunch--I love late lunches with my bestie!

11. Didn't see Mr. Short Shorts at the gym this AM (thank God!) but my toes still hurt--and I'm hobbling in my heels. It's a great look for me.

Well my lovelies, I better get goin'--I have a meeting to prepare for (ohh, I know, you're jealous).

I hope you all have a fabulous Monday!

xoxo,
