I definitely have this not working thing down pat. What day is it? Does it really matter? Every day feels like Saturday!
I’m pretending this is my normal lifestyle – a lady who lunches – in order to avoid the reality of work come Tuesday. Let’s review the last 24 hours…
Thursday
7:45AM – a glorious 5 mile run, although cold (41:14 / 8:15 avg pace).
10:30AM – my last PT session. I graduated! I’ve been going faithfully twice a week for the past 4 weeks. My hamstring feels strong and I haven’t had a twinge of tightness in 4 weeks. I no longer need the ART so I can just continue my exercises at home. I must give a huge shout-out to Excel Physical Therapy (Villanova location) and my PT Desirae. I highly recommend her and Excel.
1:00PM – lunch with Ann and Sara. I coached Ann and Sara for the Philly RnR Half this past September (easiest coaching gig ever – both are seasoned half marathoners). They took me to lunch to thank me! Thanks ladies! My goal during lunch was to convince them to run a full (Ann’s 2nd full and Sara’s 1st). I think Ann is on board; we just need to work on Sara 😉
7:00PM – coffee with Beth. This was a total surprise. Beth texted me in the morning and said she would be in the area. I’ve been friends with Beth since 1st grade and she is my pseudo sister-in-law. She is married to Matt’s brother. So we married into the same family (duh). It’s awesome, having your best friend at all the family parties. And no, Matt and I did not set-up Beth and his brother. Ages ago, when I first started dating Matt, we all ended up at the same bar one night. I merely introduced Beth to Matt’s brother and the rest is history 🙂
Friday
7:30AM – 10 mile “long” run (1:26 / 8:36 avg pace). I’ve been alternating between 10 and 13 miles on Saturdays. Beginning next week, it’s only 13 miles and up!
And…tonight Matt and I are seeing The Nutcracker and going to dinner. Yes, I could get used to this!
Plans for NYE? I loathe NYE…highly overrated. We are hanging in and I’ll probably be asleep before midnight.
My NYE date is 3 years old and tends to be a little bossy. Hubs is on duty so it’s just me and my pint-sized, cute-toed boy. Being that I am calling a 3 month moratorium on pizza come January 1 (moment of silence please…..) we shall indulge in some Marco’s Pizza and then sit in a cheese-induced stupor.
Bye Marco – it was nice while it lasted. You were the best boyfriend ever.
I am constantly telling Eric I would be the world’s greatest stay at home wife. If we could somehow live on one teacher’s salary, he’d be all for it. I’ll be heading to a good friend’s house for NYE – I love that holiday! It will just be a small group of us, playing games, singing karaoke, and, of course, drinking – low key but lots of fun! I’m so against the NYE bar scene.
I could get used to the lunching lifestyle too. Yesterday I had lunch with 2 friends, ran, then met a different friend for dinner. I’ve also been sleeping in til about 9 (even though I’m going to bed by 11:30)…Monday morning is going to be rough. No plans for NYE, I share your opinion.
I could definitely get used to not working…
NYE is SOO overrated.
Your days sound awesome! I’m not a NYE fan, mostly because I hate staying up late. Also, I hate getting dressed up. But not as much as I hate reading my facebook feed for the next week where everyone is pledging some fitness goal that will never happen. 🙂
haha, I feel the same way! Do we ever have to go back to work?? I think NYE is overrated too – I’m planning on running a midnight race in Central Park and then going to bed 🙂
Now that is a good way to spend NYE!!!!
Count me in among those who don’t do much for NYE. I don’t like staying up late. Don’t like getting butt-wasted. And don’t like driving with all the crazies on the road on NYE! I’ll be in my PJs and asleep by 10:00 NYE for sure. Maybe even by 9:00! 🙂
I have no plans for NYE and like it that way. I prefer to spend it away but we don’t have any travel plans.
Enjoy the rest of your time off and living like a “lady who lunches!”
That’s a really cool story about your friend Beth – would def make family parties more fun 🙂 Yes, not doing anything is soooo nice, I’m loving my break! And I totally agree on NYE – we’re going to our favorite local place for pizza and I will likely be in bed before the ball drops!
