Randomness

Wow...it's funny how I seem to post in spurts, isn't it. I think I update my layout design more than I post now. I've developed a bit of an obsession with digital scrapbooking, and I'm loving being able to change up my blog whenever I want to. Normally I'm not a fan of pink, but I just love this paisley look!

Life is pretty crazy right now. The job search continues, and I'm really starting to get frustrated about it. It wouldn't be so bad, but I really want to be in Asheville so that I'm closer to Sean and all of my friends. And I know that the sooner I can get a job, the sooner we can find a place and I can start moving all the stuff we've gotten as wedding presents. Seriously, our formal living room has been overtaken. There's a walkway now.

I can feel muscles in my stomach and back that I've not used in a while tonight. I did one set of core exercises today, because I know it's something I really need to work on. Plus, dad has a new stability ball, and I'm trying to convince Sean that it's what we need to get. I wanted to run through some stuff I could do with it before I brought it up again. One thing I learned is that it's hard to do a sit-up when the ball is rolling under you. And the back extensions were tough.

Running-wise, I'm doing ok. I realized that due to everything that's been going on, there was no way I would hit 40 miles this month. I've dropped my goal down to 30. I have 11.5 more to get in over the next 8 days. I can do it. Now, if I can just figure out a good stretch for my hip. My knee got stiff after some wall squats, and I must have been favoring it, because now my hip on that side hurts.

Now I think I'm going to head to bed. It's nearly 1am, but I'm really not all that tired. Well, I am, but I can't fall asleep. Ugh. Maybe if I get still for long enough, I will. Goodnight. :)
