Having a blog and then not updating it in months
paints you into the corner of: do I list out everything thing I’ve done
the past 4 months in bullet form with pictures interspersed so the whole
world knows I’m alive and well and having
super duper fun or pretend I wasn’t gone and HELLO JANUARY 16! HERE WE
ARE!
I’d rather not do either and don’t have a ton of
earth shattering news that most readers (the 4 of you out there)
wouldn’t already know from the insta/facebook/twitter-ing/ texting/whatsapping and real live talking that happens throughout the week.
Instead I’ll go with the headlines:
Bri lands a job at one of the best companies to work for and is still in the pinch-me-is-this-for-real phase
Logan turned 5 on December 12th!
Celebrations ensued at a local bounce place where every child (and a few
parents) cried at least once during the party. An undeniable success!!!
Christmas 2016: We have too many toys
Winter storm Helena – Snow way it’s going drop 8 inches in Raleigh
(and in a related story: Grocery stores and weather stations team up to cause first quarter sales to skyrocket)
On the workout front, I signed up for Chattanooga
70.3 in May after seeing the venue while cheering for Marty during his
inferno-like race. Despite the god-awful heat, Chattanooga is a
beautiful city that is not terribly far from us (7-8hrs).
It's most likely going to be very competitive since the 70.3 Worlds take place there in September. I'm hoping to be in decent shape for it, if I can get healthy. Which brings me to my whiney topic.
I seem to be getting silly-not-really-but- annoyingly-hurt
too often. In November it was my lower back. I unfortunately dealt
with a spasm that almost made me pass out and that took a good 3 weeks
to get over. A few weeks of light training
(it was December after all) and now I’ve done something to my
glute/piriformis/hip/IT band I mean really who knows and am now trying
to get that back to working without hurting. I know much of this could
be directly related to the fact that I have a desk job,
that I’m completely inflexible, and I haven’t gotten regular massage
since before Logan was born, so I’m taking steps to remedy all of this.
I’m going to be getting regular massage again (already had one and
another on the docket), I have been stretching and
rolling like a mo-fo, and have made it to a few yoga classes at work.
Fingers crossed I’m running again soon. I miss it. Swimming is going
awesome right now; I’m likely in the best shape I’ve ever been in for
January (and possibly most other months including
years where I was much more serious) and biking is getting better (all this is thanks to my partner in crime, Carrie)
