18:47

Hey guys! Gosh, this must be a record! I'm usually prolific with my posts. Unfortunately, last week has just been a series of ups and downs. I just had too much things to catch up on at work. Also, a combination of allergies & TOM just totally sapped me of my energy. When I recovered from that, my motivation has left me. I missed 2 days of workouts last week and the ones I was able to do were a struggle! I literally have to drag myself to do them. And I only got one day of running, which was a 5 mile run last Friday.

Anyways, this week is a new week. I have to kick it up a notch since I have a wedding to go to this weekend. I have to make sure I fit into my size 2 dress or I'm screwed! I wore my size 2 jeans today and although it fits, it felt kind of tight. Maybe a week of intense workouts and clean eating will do the trick.

Today started out really good. I did my 20 minutes HIIT and got 2 miles in 18:47!!!! That's a 9 seconds improvement from last week! By the 20 minutes time point, I ran about 2.13 miles! SAWEEET! The only thing that's frustrating is that I'm stuck at 7.0 mph as my maximum. Next time, I'm just going to have to suck it up and see how 7.1 mph feels like, LOL!

Is anybody getting a lot of rain? Today has just been on and off torential rain. We got a lot of rain this morning, which caused me to work at home for half a day because all the roads from my house to work usually gets flash floods. The sun came out mid-day and I wanted to run outside after work, but it rained again. I really can't wait to get my treadmill. I tracked it yesterday, and it's somewhere in New Jersey. Hopefully, I'll get it soon!

I just have to tell you all, I really enjoyed doing the Top 25 list. I had a little bit of apprehension going through it, but after it was done and reading your comments, I was really glad I did it. I especially enjoyed reading the other Top 25 list. It's so interesting to read stuff that we have in common.

Donna - I've never been to Hershey, PA. I think it's about 2 hours away from me so a get-together is definitely a posibility. Are you going anywhere near the park? I don't know if you've ever been there, but if you haven't, beware! I have heard that it's right by the Hershey's Chocolate Factory and the whole place smells like chocolate!

Cheri - I saw Cat on a Hot Tin Roof with Ashley Judd, Jason Patric, & Ned Beatty! We got awesome seats, around the 2nd row! I especially remember the day we saw this because it was during early December and we had a rare blizzard that day. I remember taking the Greyhound bus there. Would you believe that the play was not cancelled? It was the first time that I truly appreciated the title "city that never sleeps". If it wasn't for the expensive tickets, we would have just canned the whole thing. Greyhound ended up cancelling their service later that day so we had to take the Amtrak back. What a stressful day! And you're right, the play wasn't even that great. I don't think it's the actors. I think I just didn't get the play.

24 - Again, another great episode. I can't believe next week is the season finale! I wonder if we'll find out who those behind-the-scene people are. Or if it's something they'll reveal for next season?

AI - I know this is kind of late, but yeah, America's crazy for not voting for Chris! My favorite now is Katherine. I think she is super talented. She just needs to pick the right song and bring it on like Elliot did. And she is so beautiful & sexy as hell! She definitely have the total package of being a pop star.

That's it for now! I'm going to catch up on the other blogs now, as well as tracker. But it's probably going to take me at least a couple of days. I'm sure I missed a lot!
