Have Fun and Run...

Yesterday was my planned day off and from my post I had nothing going on and was going to take it hour by hour. Yeah, well after I posted that, of course I get the call someone had called out of work and no one could cover, so into work I went. I have to tell you I was so angry. It ruined my whole mood and my whole day. I just couldn't shake it. I really wanted to just stay home, relax and just let the day go, but I had lunch, laid down for a bit and then got ready for work.

After work, James and I finished Breaking Bad.

All I can say is wow! The last two were amazing, intense and I thought it was a perfect ending to the show. We binged watched it for 3 weeks straight and now its gone. I feel like a piece of me is gone with the show. I really, truly loved the whole show, the cast of characters, on and off screen, the plot. I was hooked from the first on. And now I have a love affair with Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston lol.

So after my heartbreak of no more Breaking Bad, we are trying to find something else to fill the hole.

This morning I got a really good 2 mile run in. I was planning on doing 3 miles, but it started to rain and I hate running in the rain. So the two miles felt great. My legs have been a bit stiff and from taking the two days off to rest, it was nice to shake them out a bit.

I was talking with my manager today, whom is also a huge role model for me in my life and we were talking about our love of running. She is also running Gasparilla the end of the month, but just the half marathon. I am excited her and her hubby are doing it because they are such big motivators for me and seeing them there and their energy makes for a great race. We were discussing how running is just about running. It isn't about the time or pace or PRing, its about just having fun, finishing and just unwinding with running.

I agree 100% with her. When I concentrate on just the road and how I am feeling, the music in my ears and getting the thoughts and clearing my mind, I have the best run. But when I get caught up in my pace and time and how its going to end, I end up holding myself back a bit. So with this race, I am doing just that. I am just going to have fun. Just run, finish and accomplish a huge thing by running 3 races in 2 days, 25.5 miles. I mean how freaking fun and amazing is that.

This morning while running I cleared my mind and ended having a great pace..

See..


So clear your mind and the rest will follow...

Low Point Apple Crisp

Image
At my Weight Watchers meeting yesterday, my leader told me about a low point apple crisp and I couldn't resist making it today. I love apple crisp, I don't have it often or really at all, because it can be high in points and frankly I like low maintenance  baking, so when I can find something easy and quick and low in points, well I am all game!! This apple crisp is again so easy and quick, perfect for a craving, a family gathering, party or just to have around the house. Requires only 3 or 4 ingredients to prepare this and you might even have all of it in your house right now.

Perspective: My Trauma, Fear and Rejection

Well we have made it through another week of CoronaVirus, Stay Home, Social Distancing of 2020. I honestly have no clue what to call it, other than that. Today, has been 2 weeks since we closed BBW and shut down the store. Originally we had some high hopes we would have been open by yesterday, the mall sent an email saying they weren't going to open until the 19th, and then Pres. Trump extended the Social Distancing until the 30th. I honestly have no clue when I am going back to work. I am literally just trying to take it day by day and moment by moment, and week by week. I have been surviving and also Thriving during this process. I am a child of hard things. I have been through some tough shit in my day, and maybe I will get to that at some point, but we can save that for another post. Today the idea of Perspective is in my brain. If you don't know, which I am sure you do know if you follow along with me, but Rachel Hollis, whom is one of the many people I look

Let's Go To The Movies....And EAT at Cobb Theaters Tyrone

Image
As part of the Tampa Bay Bloggers, I was given access and a gift card to tour the new Cobb Theatre at the Tyrone Square Mall for social share and blog post, all opinions and reviews are my own. I have lived in the St. Petersburg Area for almost 7 years now and worked at the Tyrone Square Mall for 6.5. In those 6.5 years, I anxiously waited for the mall to get a movie theatre and the time has finally come and this is not just any run of the mill movie theatre, this one is luxury and spacious and a whole experience on its own. Nanci, over at This Crazy Life of Mine , also a Tampa Bay Blogger and more importantly one of my besties, and I have partnered with our blog post about the Cobb Experience. She was in attendance also and there is so much to tell you, we decided to break it up into TWO part posts, linking to the two of our blogs together. I am going to give you the details on the food experience at Cobb, believe me it is more than just soda, candy and popcorn and Nanci is going
