The weekend post

2 Comments

Saturday was pretty eventful. I woke up early to go on a morning run. A 6km run to be exact. I was melting and wanted to hurl towards the end, but I did it, and we didn’t stop. 8 minutes on 1 minute off. I honestly have a love/hate relationship with running. The only time I hate it though, is three quarters into the run, no matter if it’s 3k or 7k — if I can see the “finish line” I’m done. I want to stop. Weird, isn’t it? I feel like I hit a wall if I know I’m close to being done. But if I can’t see it… I’m cool. I’m still ready to run.

Came home and showered right away so I could get my tootsies painted. Cute designs huh? I’m not sure of the color I picked out. It’s an OPI shade (but it’s not “That’s Hot! Pink!” like my previous pedi).

OH!!!

I won a haircut, remember?

I booked my appointment as soon as I got the phone call. It was perfect timing, as I was about to get my hair cut on the 29th anyway. So, I went over the weekend and asked for not too much to be cut off. Thankfully she listened and didn’t touch a lot of length! Check it out, doesn’t even look cut, lol.

And of course, you can’t get a hair cut and not show the front, so here’s that as well.

Yay! I probably won’t be going back to her, mainly because I like going to the owners of salons, and they have to really know what they’re doing in order for me to trust them.  Not that she didn’t know. Maybe I just like male hair dressers. Oh well.

She did a great job. I was happy. But I’m still going to keep heading back to my Dann0.

After our morning was over (it was a busy/long a.m.!) we went to the Farmers Market! SO hot out. Picked up some fresh salmon from my Boyf’s swim coach and ‘window-shopped’ my heart out. I saw this one ring at a booth that I wanted so bad. It was made of amber and had 3 stones in it and it was just really neat looking. Asking $34. I didn’t have cash, so I didn’t buy it. Lame! Maybe it’ll be there next week.

Brought back our salmon and cooked it virtually right away.

Of course we had to eat on our new bistro set. Beauts.We need some door mats under out feet. Concrete always feels dirty on my toes.

Need a closer look?

Eat your heart out folks. It was as delish as it looked.Melt in your moutttthhh… Am I right? Does this make you crave a fresh bitta salmon or WHAT!

Timing my runs

3 Comments

Why have I not used EBay sooner?

Last night I bought a sports watch to track my time when I run. But more specifically, track when I’m able to walk for that one minute (8 mins on, 1 min off — next week we up it to 9!).

I had a timex sports watch that I won in 2006 with my old job. But I have no clue where it is, and it had a fabric strap that kind of broke.I was also sort of eying this watch as well however, I didn’t want a fabric strap anymore, so I opted for the resin one.

Also? I needed it for an alarm clock in the mornings. My blackberry’s alarm clock doesn’t work anymore!

This watch retails for $79.99 on the Timex website (view here) but on Ebay I bought it for nearly half that! I didn’t even have to bid because it was a buy now option.

Cha-ching!

I hope it arrives soon!! :)

Run legs, run!

My endurance is pretty good now that I’ve been running twice a week. Enough to make me not want to come off the field at our first (and second) soccer game. Though, whenever I kick the ball, I always contort myself into weird positions.

Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”

See?

After the first game, the middle of my back was so unbelievably sore. But a good kind of sore. Like I’ve worked out with some heavy weights. It doesn’t hurt, but there’s some new muscles being used. Strange, isn’t it?

I ended up calling my dentist the other morning, because I had a pretty big filling done about 6 weeks ago and noticed that it felt like it’s “leaking”. I was very disappointed lol. I freaking hate going to the dentist. I had an appointment last Wednesday to get it checked out.

He requested that his assistant do some x-rays.Of course he had to mumble something along the lines of  “Worst case scenario, we’d have to do a root canal.”

To calm my nerves while he left me to digest the news, I decided to ignore it because his wife (the secretary) was ever so kind to me telling me NOT to worry, and it was probably nothing, and then take pictures…

Ok, that didn’t calm me. So…WHY would he even bring that up if it’s not even an issue yet? Why make me want to vom all over the floor when he gives me that news? I said to him (because I’m so stern in DR’s offices lol) “What? Excuse me? Why would you even say I need that done. That’s crazy!” … he repeated himself “Not to worry. That’s the worst case scenario.” Yeah, not like looking at the glass half full or anything. It’s like he wants to give me something I don’t need. (Like stretchmarks creams!?)

He looked at the x-, sprayed some air on my tooth, and then tapped on it with some plastic instrument. The root of my tooth seemed fine, and my tooth wasn’t bothered much by the air blowing in at it. All I had to do was keep using my sensodyne toothpaste and keep an eye on it. OHHHHH thanks! Thanks for giving me worst case scneario buddy, then telling me absolutely nothing is wrong with my tooth!

I walked out of there happy as a pig in…

How was your Monday?
