2. I’m kinda-sorta getting back on track with training. OK, now I’m just a liar! But I do try to do at least 2 workouts a week. Yes, I know, I suck.
3. This weekend is Ironman FL and Beach 2 Battleship Iron-Distance Race. Team Z has quite a few folks out there racing. Best of luck to everyone but most of all to my blogging friends Cat (FL) and Holly (B2B).
4. I finally got a new boss at work. YEAH!
5. It is officially 5-days after Halloween and I have not had one piece of candy. While that’s good on the fat-front, I’d really like a baby Twix!
6. I took a Classic Tuscan Dinner cooking class last night at Open Kitchen (my new fave place). It was pretty damn awesome – no earth-shattering new knowledge gained but I did learn some knife handling skills and got some great recipes. Now that I have the recipes I have to host a dinner party!
7. Did I mention Dude and I are buying a house together? No?! My bad! Of course this entails selling two townhouses so it may be awhile until we officially start living in sin. 8. Thanksgiving is coming! Thanksgiving is coming!
9. Pet Peeve alert: I hate, hate, HATE when people back into their parking spot. What’s the point??????
10. Congratulations shout out to blogger Running Fool for PR-ing the NYC marathon this past weekend! Rock on Lady Fool!
11. Speaking of marathons I’m kind of thinking about upgrading my Virginia Beach Half to the Full marathon. See, I just can’t get excited about 13.1 miles and I can’t convince myself to go train. Whenever I think about it I just think “it’s JUST 13 miles”. I signed up for the half because I want to work on getting my speed back but all I’ve done so far is found my way to the sofa. Should I take the plunge and upgrade to the full?
12. If you haven’t been to an amusement park lately I recommend it - gives you a chance to act like a kid again. Check out peopleofwalmart.com before you go because I guarantee you will see some of these people while waiting in the lines!
13. This weekend’s plans: 10 mile run, work on both houses so they can be put on the market, bike (?), finalize Thanksgiving menu, work, cyber stalk IM-Florida peeps, do some cooking, and find a couple moments to just relax.

According to the defensive driving classes I took when I drove the bus in Blacksburg, it's safer.

It is easier to make a quick getaway if you are backed in! (And I can't pull in very well...(
To marathon or half marathon. . .hmmm. Well, there will be no "only 13.1" if you plan to race it at an average pace of 7 minutes per mile. So you could always have that as your training goal :)
Otherwise, yeah, in terms of motivation you are pretty much stuck with the upgrade.
Hey chica, thanks for the shoutout! I too have been a bad blogista, but I'm back and will be posting a race report soon.
Congrats on your soon-to-be casa with dude and YES you should upgrade to the full marathon. DO IT DO IT DO IT!
