Whoops.

So, I'm in the first week (of 16) of marathon training, and I'm already 4 miles short. Dammit. Part of the problem is that I'm bloody tired, and tend to fall asleep after work a lot. I also can't wake up early enough before work to go run. But last night? I was a dumbass and ate a mess of protein before running, with no crabs to balance that out. Helloooooo stomach cramps. Not good. The sleeping too much is starting to bug me. It's also bothering Zach, since I'm hitting snooze for 2 hours.


I need to get a laptop or summat for our bedroom, since I tend to think of these wonderful posts right before I go to sleep, and I don't want to get up and go into the other room to type them out. I'll see if I can reconstruct last night's later.


So - goals for this weekend:

- Run at least 4 miles every day (Fri., Sat., Sun.)
- Strength train two of those days
- Pack for AK
- Be somewhat productive in another area

That's achievable.

Shallow fashion post.

Actually, NSM 'fashion', for I am tired of my clothes and feel slovenly in them, but I am quite pleased with the rest of my grooming.

I've redyed my hair a brighter red, so it has this nice burgundy/red shimmer to it (minim_calibre, I am taking what you said about a mahogany under consideration, but I've at least two more dyeing cycles to go through before the wedding).

I do need to remember to wash my hair every other day - no more, no less. More, it gets brittle and tangly. Less, it gets floopy and limp.

My hair is just at the length where the wave scoffs at the blowout. It may have to go a few bits shorter. We'll see.

I went on an eyebrow-grooming rampage, and am mostly pleased with the results. I may still get them done professionally at least once.

My fingernails now have a gothy French manicure on them - black w/silver tips. It looks very pretty, except that some people may think that I'm just overly excited about the Raiders starting training camp. (They are starting training camp, aren't they?)

My toenails will never be allowed to get long enough to have a French manicure on them, so they are just a pleasing darkish bright red.

I need a bright red lipstick.


I hope the manicure isn't too hard to keep up. I really like it. Nothing like freshly-done nails.
