My reaction to everything
Well since I came back from New York things went from kinda icky to hell raising annoying. Seriously. When I got back home Sunday, I found out that our pump to our well had died. Super. So no water which is really great with a 17 month old. So Monday we took off to spend some time at my parents Cape house while it was being fixed.
I figured it would be fine, it would force me to run outside since I have the Falmouth Road race this weekend and the Rock N’ Roll half the weekend after. No big deal, maybe it would even help me out. BUT I forgot to cancel my dermatologist appointment so I am now awaiting a bill in the mail for a missed appointment. FAIL.
A slow and steady recovery run with sore shoulders after the GUR:NYC
Tuesday, I took Cooper to the beach and of course we sat next to a guy who blew non-stop cigarette smoke in our direction until we decided to leave early. Then on our way home I backed into a fire hydrant with the front of my car. Even better.
Seriously?
I had been planning to run Tuesday night but I knew I wasn’t going to get it in. When I feel extremely overwhelmed I have trouble running because I am a huge head case runner. Running helps me work off minor stresses and frustrations, but if it is too much my run is doomed. So, instead I decided to do an unforgiving pyramid that will keep me focused and on task since there is alot of counting. Math nerd for life.
The “Grump”-A-Mid
25 burpees- 1 push up
24 burpees- 2 push ups
23 burpees- 3 push ups
………..continue until………….
1 burpee- 25 pushups.
If that doesn’t work something out or at least make me so tired I think less about an annoying couple of days I don’t know what will. Otherwise, pizza and ice cream sundae with peanut butter topping might be in my immediate future and I won’t feel the least bit bad about it.
Question: If you are having a bad couple of days what do you do to get out of the funk? Or do you just let it wear off by itself?
Quick Update: The pyramid helped…but so did this.
Judge away. #sorryimnotsorry
Awh! So sorry for all of your bad misfortunes!!! I’m praying that god will show you the good even amongst all the crap! That’s seriously the pits! Keep trying to smile and know that when you’re at your lowest the only place you can go is up!! SPALove!!!
Thanks Jenna!!
wah! hate those days like that. I say put on smile..go kick the crap out of a workout and then eat some chocolate. those things help me
Chocolate is magic. I was still hungry after my sundae and I came close to my friends college solution of dipping spoonful of peanut butter into m&ms. Somehow i reeled it in! Hehe
oh em gee….that’s the best combination i’ve ever heard of!
Yikes… that is one thing after another. I typically find that a run gets me out of the funk. That, or a nap. LOL.
Naps! They are key for pretty much all problems! Good luck with your 50 miler! Looks INTENSE!
aw i’m sorry about your day! good thing is though it can only look up from there! (:
