IDEA - Days 78 - 79: Too many topics in my head

Thursday, September 06, 2012

Well, we're rapidly coming upon the end of the work week!

Last night I posted a trio of photos from the con, I'm just waiting for more to turn up from the photographers and also to get the motivation to dig up my own camera to upload. The euphoria of Con is slowly fading, only to be replaced by the need to gear up for next year. Right now memberships are on sale for $65 - and will be up around $120 right before the Con. Also, one of the host hotels has already sold out.. which is sort of a bummer. In other words, I have to decide very, very quickly if I want to invest in going back next year.

Last night I went to do my first run since last Sunday. I was slated for a 25 minute non-stop run. I failed. Terribly. For starters, and I know this sounds like an excuse, I had on a backpack with my work clothes in it since I wouldn't be able to get back in the building. Second it was humid and gross. Third, I knew from the second I stepped out of the building my brain wasn't in it. It's okay. I made it about 15 minutes before I stopped and walked. Today I brought my bike and intend to do a nice, long bout before going home tonight. I'll get my head back in the game, just you wait and see.

I had a plethora of blog topics in my head including C25K fail from yesterday, the fact that I feel like my lady-times are getting me more moody now than they ever had, and that this is the first time in years I've felt so comfortable in my own skin.

All of those topics are going to have to wait for another time :-P

I hope you all are keeping your heads up and your hearts full - we've all come so far and will go so much further with patience and determination!

    I'm really not sure about next year, too! Part of me thinks it'd be better if I was staying in one of the host hotels, and didn't have a 15 min walk to the con... but I don't think that's it.. Having to wakl to get back, especially late at night, really sucked, but it was SOOO nice not having to wait on elevators. I hate con elevator drama. The Omni felt like it was empty in comparison, even though it was packed with football fans and a baptist convention! lol

I'm just not sure about the crowds! It doesn't seem worth it to me to wait in line HOURS for a panel or event or whatever, and I can totally dork out in costume at smaller conventions if I'm just going to wander around the public areas for 4 days straight. (Heck, for the smaller ones, I sometimes dont' even buy a badge.. lol)

    I wouldn't say that you failed! You got out there & did what you could, and that is fantastic!

    *copy and paste what you said on my blog* : p

At least you tried, and 15 mins is more than 7 times longer than I managed, so yaaaaay for you! And the backpack is totally not an excuse, those things are EVIL.

    We all have days where our heads/hearts just aren't into our workouts, but you still got out there and did something...good for you!
