What's there to say about Wednesday?

Today was just one of those trying days that would have been better spent in bed. My subconscious agreed and I managed to turn off my alarm and wake up at 10:37 am.... 7 minutes AFTER I was supposed to be to work at job #1.... Thank goodness for a part time job where I set my hours and no one is depending on me for the most part. If they had been, I could have dragged myself from bed but instead, I arranged to work tomorrow. It'll mean a long day for a Thursday, but this time I'm ready. Clothes are set out for the two jobs. After this entry, I'm packing my lunch and going to bed because it's 2:30 a.m. and of course I'm still awake. So where was I going with this? Ahh yes, better day to have just stayed in bed. After getting the clearance to rearrange my work days, I did just that. Work out--- forget it!

So I walk in the door to my main job and I don't even make it from the locker room without hearing that it's a mess in there. Whee. In the past I may have gotten upset. Now it's just another day. I show up. In a sick way I'm happy its a mess because it means I have something to do. I set things up, some fail, but I don't get all upset and worked up. I like this new-ish zen but sometimes it just feels like I'm defeated. The passion has been deflated. I'm feeling used up.

I need a vacation.

2014 goals

Running:

1. 1 race per month. I need consistency in my life and having at least 1 race per month, official or unofficial will be really helpful
2. 500  miles in 1 year. I've barely cracked 300 the past 2 years. It's time to up my game.
3. Run Grandma's/Gary Bjorklund Half Marathon in June and finish in under 2:15
4. Run Lola's half Marathon again
5. 
   

Health:

1. Yoga & Meditation 2x a week - Yoga makes my running better. It makes me better overall. I miss it.
2. Strength train more than sparingly
3. Continue to make better food choices, incorporating more organic and cutting out more processed foods

Personal:

1. Read 1 book a month - this shouldn't be that hard, but I have the attention span of a hummingbird on cocaine. 
2. Finish "Anna Karenina" I'm 40% in and refusing to give up!
3. Rediscover the fun things of life - I feel like I work all the time and have little to show for it. Its time to find some balance, spend more fun time with husband
4. Schedule friend time - working 2nd shift this is getting to be really important. Its too easy for me to be disconnected!
5. Go on a vacation
6. Finish unfinished projects - ahem! penguin ornaments, crocheting, painting, house stuff..

So here we go 2014!
