Some bitching and whining and then incredibly fast running
Category: Randomly |

I am not in the mood to discuss my blog right now. I can recover the entries from the last few days (I hope) but I can’t recover the comments from wishing NikkiZ Happy Birthday or from our Anniversary and this devastates me. MrZ also woke up this morning with a neck issue that is causing him so much pain he is basically immoble. NikkiZ is also very sick and snotty and grody. I am started to feel like my family will never be 100% ever again. I am so tired and worn out and OH MY GOD - I NEED A BREAK.

Okay. Done with the bitching and whining. Now let’s all praise me for running my 5K in record (for me) time: 30:06.

Post-Halloween Race

I almost broke thirty minutes! I’m so proud! And red!

    ACK on the blog troubles. I was worried all morning when no posts showed up. :( Sounds like your having a LOT of blog problems these days, I hope you’re able to get it all fixed for good! Cuz the last thing I’m sure you need is blog headaches!

    Awesome Miss Zoot! Congratulations! I always got so red in my face when I ran- it looked like I was going to have a haert attack most of the time…
    I am so bummed about the blog! I knew something was up this morning… hope it gets back on track soon…
    And your poor family- you rant all you want…

    That’s great! I hope MrZ and NikkiZ feel better soon, and I’m glad your blog is back up, though you’ve got problems to sort out.

    Yay Zoot - good job!

    Boo about the blog stuff, though. What a PIA.

    Hope the family is back to feeling better very soon.

  9. Jessica Says:

    Horray - that’s a great accomplishment. And i want you to know that you have inspired me to start running again. I want to be looking half as good as you look right now when my daughter turns one. (she’s 3mos now) You should be so proud of yourself!

    Dude — I didn’t realize that you still ran this morning, you incredibly ambitious fitness nut! Will a few huge bowls of bean dip calm you down?

  11. Jennifer Says:

    Congratulations! That’s awesome. You do look wonderful. And ummm, let me think. On your daughter’s birthday I think I said,
    “I have big fat tears in my eyes. What a beautiful family. Your daughter is so blessed to have such a wonderful brother.”
    OK, something along those lines. I’m so sorry.

  12. Nancy Says:

    Congrats on an amazing run! You are fabulous.

    And just because it got lost before, I want to wish NikkiZ happy birthday again. And please send my best to LilZ too. ;-)

  24. Miss S Says:

    Awesome 5K time!!! WooHoo. Go Zoot! I’m just getting back into my running too - totally understand the “red” … I get that way.
    Sorry about the fambly being sickly and the computer/internet being stupid. But ! Your running is awesome.

  25. Peggy Says:

    That is awesome! What an accomplishment.

    Sorry about all that’s happening.

  26. Jennifer Says:

    Great job on the 5 k! I am not sure I could even walk that far!

  27. kristyk Says:

    Wow! That’s fantastic. And you may be red, but you look great and skinny and healthy and gorgeous. Way to go…

  28. Lynne Says:

    That is so wicked. Wow you are inspiring me to buy a pair of running shoes!

  29. Jackie Joy Says:

    Make sure you moisturize your face HEAVILY when you’re doing this whole running thing, or you might get nasty, wind-chapped, hive-looking things on your face. I have a jar of cheap ole St Ive’s moisturizing stuff and in the winter, I just slop it on, because I use public transportation, and the walk from the bus stop to my house can leave me with nasty, welt-looking things from the wind hitting my face.
    Also, CONGRATULATIONS. You are totally my inspiration for this whole, like, um, getting healthy thing.
