running, recaps and such...

I've been slacking lately...it's been a little hectic, I will get better :)

This week is the 4th week in the c25k workout...and it just got a lot tougher! Last week, I was running intervals for a total of 9 minutes...this week went to 16! I know the jump has to be somewhere but when I did my first run outside on Tuesday after work, it was hard with the heat and wind that day. I thought I was going to die...yesterday was a lot better so that is good :) My right foot is starting to bother me though. I think I ran a little funny last week, the ball of my foot is sore. I stretch it really good and ice it after every run, which is helping...just hope it holds out another month for me!!

Last weekend, my email account got hacked, which was awesome...not sure how they did it but someone in Poland got in around 3:30am and started sending some link to all my email contacts, I apologize if you got one...gmail disabled my account around the J-K but everyone with a first name A-J got the email...seriously, why don't people have better things to do?? I don't think it's linked to facebook...I use different passwords for both, for that reason...but maybe it was still the culprit?? Who knows...as much as I love facebook, there are days I just want to delete it...with all these privacy issues they are having, makes me wonder if it's worth it anymore, what I did learn from the situation was that gmail is watching for suspicious activity, which was awesome to know they can shut it down if need be!

The job search is still on...I was not selected for an interview for the job I talked about last time...which was disappointing but the job itself was a strecth. I didn't have the experience they were looking for but thought I'd try anyways because you never know!

Joe finished up his 3 weeks of training in DT Minneapolis and starts as a personal banker on Monday. He's not too thrilled with the demotion (although WF doesn't see it as such) but it's at least a job and a steady paycheck. I'm not too thrilled that he'll be working Saturdays now...but such is life...I hope something better comes along for him too.

I found a new addiction...GROUPON. I've bought two groupons this week. I got a steal on a 16x20 canvas that I ordered with one of our wedding photos...later that day, I got an email from the company that the picture wasn't sized correctly for the 16x20 so they upgraded my order to 16x24 for free!! I can't wait for that to arrive. I also got the $50 gap one for $25...so excited to get a new pair of jeans today when we go shopping!! :)

Shiloh as been a PILL this week. We've been pretty busy this week after work. She is completely fine while were at work all day...but when we've left the house during the evenings, sometimes for only 10 minutes, she's been pulling things off the counter or out of the garbage and chewing them, ugh. Seriously dog, you are 3 years old in a few weeks and haven't done this since you were a puppy. And I really do NOT want to pull the kennel back out...it takes up so much space and is just an eye sore. However, we've been slacking on her walks/exercise this week too...which I think is the reason...she's bored and mad at us, not a good combo!!! Hopefully we get back into a routine next week and life will go back to normal.
