There's a first time for everything.

Today I ended up sleeping longer than I wanted. Brian left to get to work by 8 and I woke up and it was 10:30. I was hoping to be awake before that, but I guess when you have nothing better to do and you're used to sleeping that late for a couple months already, it's bound to happen. I started out by watching Bridezillas with my friend. Just like old times, except via text message. It was fun, but then Brian came home and I didn't want to torture him with watching it on his lunch break so I recorded the rest and ended up getting into a productive mode instead of coming back to it.

I managed to get quite a bit accomplished. I put away the clean dishes and cleaned the kitchen a little. I got the bathroom somewhat organized finally and mopped it. It looks so much better! I also unpacked another box from the garage as well as unpacking and rewashing the huge box of clothes out there. I folded some, and that's about all I could get done before Brian came home.

Tonight was running night, and it couldn't have been a more beautiful night for it. It was sunny, it was warm but not hot, there was a soft breeze. It was great. So was the running. Last time I didn't do so well on endurance, but I was convinced I could pull it off this time. I had done two consecutive laps before, there was no reason I couldn't do it again. I started with one and pushed for two. Lap two was uncomfortable but you don't gain anything by babying it just when you're feeling it, so I went for 3. By the end of 3 the endorphines were kicking in, the pain seemed a little more faint, and if I was going for 3, why not 4? So I did 4. That's right. Four laps around a quarter mile track for a total of... you bet! 1 MILE!!! Unbelievable. I have NEVER in my life ran one consecutive mile. No it wasn't fast, but I was going to endurance, not speed. I was SO proud! I followed with one more mile of walking the straight then running the remainder, for another 3/4 mile total to add on to that. After that, I felt like I was going to pass out, so I didn't push it. I walked another 2 laps and headed home, beaming.

The rest of the night was pretty uneventful. I'm hoping to get a lot more done tomorrow.

Onto another day... It can only bring more great things.
