End of August recap

So in the last month things have been more than a little crazy. I still don't have Internet at the new apartment yet, and am still typing these posts on my tiny little iPhone screen. But I have had two interviews in one store. One was promising with the store's manager, which led to the second interview with the area's chain district manager which was not so promising. I think it might have only been because I was stupid and asked for too much money to start at as an assistant manager. Oh well lesson learned. Anyway the main reason for this post was not to inform you all that I am still working in a laundry room and see no exit from it in the foreseeable future, but rather to tell you all that I hit a rather interesting mile stone this month... It has nothing to do with my birthday, (I turned 28 this past aug. 4th.) it's the fact that I was able to run a total of 58.61 miles this month. Almost 60miles in one month. This absolutely boggles my mind.

If you have been following me on instagram or twitter you will know that I am registered for the Disney princess 1/2 marathon in Disney world in February. And have been training for it for months already trying to get a base of at least ten miles a week for the last 6 months. I have had some good weeks, like last week where I ran over 14 miles, and some bad weeks, like the week I moved out here to Pennsylvania where I only ran a total of 1.44 miles. But over all I think I am about ready to start doing some training races out here in PA for the next few months to get my proof of time and get myself used to running with others again. So I also hopefully have Internet again in the next month, so expect pictures to go with my posts on these races. 

Yarny bits wise, I have only finished one doll since I moved out here. Partially because I have been moderately obsessed with running and working out in the last few months. And haven't been sitting still long enough to get my yarn out to work on it. But I did start another doll as I stated in the last post. It has a finished core body section, and I am currently working on the head. Hopefully I will have it done by the midway point of September so that I can post it on here as well. I have also been obsessed with my filofax Dakota personal sized planner. I have been using it as my workout diary. It doesn't go to the gym I have a separate note book for that but I do use it to track when I am working and how much I worked out that day.
I love the fact that I can use bright colored tapes and stickers to make my points more noticeable for me. Well that is all that I have for now. Later everyone.
