Time to run inside!

The plan this morning was to prepare myself for a quick, cold, 2km run.  I put on 3 shirts, a hat, some tights and my track pants, but I forgot gloves.  I doesn't matter though, because I think the chances of me running outside again this year are just about done.  I may get one or two more in, but that's about it.     I think it's time to go back to running inside on the track.

I did remember my Micoach, and instead of doing a quick 2km, I did 3!  I was quite pleased with myself.  I have an issue with knowing the distance of anything, a foot, a kilometre, a yard.  I know the distance that they stand for, but I just don't get how it applies to actual space.  It's just not where my talents lie.  But that's ok, 3km instead of 2 is just fine by me!

Soccer is in full swing, well for everyone except me!  I did get to play in a tournament 2 weeks ago, but I don't play again for another week.  Funny story, the tournament I played in was for Premier, which is above where I play in Classics 1.  I never would have played had I known that.  But I didn't, and I did play, and it was worth every painful step.  I played fairly well after the first half of the first game.  Indoor soccer is quick, I forgot that over the summer.  I even scored a goal!  It was awesome.  I can't wait for my season to start!

The kids are done their first 2 games already and have had some practices.  My son's team will probably do well, my daughter's team needs a lot of work, but that's what practice is for!  At least the girls seem to get along well and don't get down when they lose a game.  I've got to really work hard on my coaching skills for them this season.

So after my little mental break, things have been gong well.  I am super busy, but what else is new.  The last 2 weeks were probably the worst and I feel like I am moving into a nice, less chaotic pace.  Don't tell anyone, but I have today and tomorrow free of all appointments.  I am not going to clean the house because I actually got that done on the weekend, and I can concentrate on my list of what needs to be done.  Without my lists, I'd be lost!

I really do like to be busy, it makes relaxing feel so much more indulgent!  Last night, the kids had a game and a practice, we got home at 8:30, kids to bed by 9:15 and my husband had a game at 10pm.  That meant that I had a few hours of alone time in my own home!  It was awesome, I watched tv and had secret ice cream....kind of a lot of it!  Luckily, I was still down a pound this morning!  Sometimes I think the body just needs ice cream to help the weight loss along.  Yes, that is a real theory of mine, and I stick by it!  I ate like crap the last 2 weeks and put 4 pounds back on, but I am down 3 again because I have been eating like a normal healthy person.

I am also in very stiff competition with my husband.  I have never weighed less than him our whole relationship, until just a few weeks ago.  The bugger is 3 pounds less than me right now though, but I will get him.  Even if I have to sabotage him!!  No, I am not better than that.  I am going to win this one!

Note to self, blog more, because I just end up rambling when I don't do it enough.  I must go work on my Halloween outfit, and take a shower, and make some lists.  This is nice, no pressure today!
