Reality Bites

Why? Why do you put the coffee back like this and not make more? Honest to God, this makes me so crazy, I seriously lose my shit over it on almost a daily basis.


In case you're wondering, dear readers, yes I know there are real issues in the world, but sharing my first world problems with y'all keeps me from throwing myself on the ground in a tantrum in front of my coworkers. (Although, truth be told, I actually did throw myself on the ground in my boss's office in a mock tantrum. He was not impressed and I did not get my way. Hrmph.) Moving on. 

I'm having a little trouble right now motivating myself to run. As soon as the temps started creeping up, I lost my will to survive, I mean run. This sucks because NYC Marathon training begins soon.

I have been riding 5 days a week, so I'm not a total sloth.


I realize you're probably thinking to yourself, how is riding a horse a workout? The horse does all of the work. I've heard that like a million times in my life, so let me just say, it's a pretty intense core and leg workout if you're a competitive rider.

I can set a thigh adducter on the heaviest weight and not break a sweat. That's like 200 lbs. 

 
Anyway, I'm having some trouble in the motivation department, so texted my trusty partner in crime, Tara, and tried to rally. I'm thinking of signing up for Juneathon, which is a challenge to work out every day and blog about it.


Honestly, it's truly amazing that we finish any races at all.

Regardless, I think I'm going to bite the bullet and sign up for it. There's also a Janathon, which is in January. Check it out if you're interested: www.juneathon.com. (Hey Bogger app, a link option would be marvelous, thank you.)

Anyone else want to sign up for Juneathon?

    1. It is! I was so motivated all spring, but now that it's getting close to 100, I'm losing motivation!

  2. Have you mentioned the coffee thing before? It seems like I've seen the same type of rant on a blog before. Hahaha... If it wasn't you, you may have company in your misery. Not being a coffee drinker, I can't commiserate. Maybe you should leave a snarky note there and see if anyone changes their ways.

    1. Lol, yeah, it was totally me that blogged about this before. Makes me insane.

      I'm going to adopt the snarky note solution. :)

  3. Runner's World is having a streak thing, too but I cannot get on board with running everyday. That just sounds like a whole lot of laundry to me and an injury waiting to happen. I can't afford an injury. Plus, I already have no motivation, too. But maybe you should so you can motivate me!! haha.

    1. Tara did Janathon a couple of years ago and some nights she literally ran around the block just to say she did something. That'll probably be me, too.
