What I won't be doing over the next few days:
1. A Race I Thought I Wanted to Do. Remember I told you Ken and I signed up for the lottery for the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon? Well the good news is we both got in!! The bad news is I should have checked the cost beforehand. Do you know it costs $750 per person?? As in, you pay $750 to jump off of a ferryboat and swim 1.5 miles in freezing, shark infested waters with a current that can take you down to the depths of hell? Okay, I'm being dramatic. But, we won't be doing it. Which is a bummer cause I wanted to, but I kind of also want to buy groceries and pay my mortgage and go to Paris.
2. Voting on November 8th. Before you get all irritated that I am not doing my civic duty - in your face!! I already voted by mail! The only draw back is I won't get one of those I voted stickers, but I can live with that, because apparently there is a sticker for everything in this world.
3. Celebrating My Kid's Birthday. In 18 years I have never missed Sam's birthday and I have never missed the opportunity to remind him of the day he came out of my vagina, Well, now he's 900 miles, away, turning 19 and doing God knows what. His birthday is Thursday and he will be in Arizona. And, I will not. Boo. Unless I decide to surprise him (Sam, if you are reading, that is 100% a joke so don't start freaking out).

4. Running In Colorado This Weekend. That is because on Thursday I'm going to Virginia for JMU's homecoming! Ken and I have mapped out some stellar trail runs in the Shenandoah Valley, so follow along on Instagram or something.
5. Looking in Car Windows When I Run. I was severely traumatized yesterday on my run. Ken and I and were cruising along minding our own businesses on a street in our neighborhood. We came up to a parked car a with a guy sitting in it. I always am curious why people are sitting in parked cars, so I looked in. Ewww.......let's just say he was not the only person in the car. The other person was doing something that required them to be laying down, kind of in his lap. Get my drift? At 8:00 a.m. in broad daylight.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I had fun making this VLOG, although vlogs aren't exactly my thing. Anyway, sorry for the lack of audio quality. Just pretend I am sitting by a waterfall. I am just trying to figure this all out. But, if you care to watch, you will get the point. And, don't even ask why I am on the stairs. I really don't know.
That's all I got.
Tell me one thing you will not be doing in the next few days.
Ever tried a subscription box service?
SUAR
Disclosure: POPSUGAR sent me this Must Have Box to try.
I loved the vlog! The weather here in VA should be great for your weekend at JMU. The leaves will be beautiful too on the trails. Enjoy the weekend. I'm heading up to DC for MCM.
ReplyDeleteMCM!! Best of luck. I'm jealous, have always wanted to do that one.
DeleteI won't be running or walking on 2 feet the next few days or weeks... broke my foot in the 11th mile of the Staten Island half marathon on the 9th. Yes, I finished. It didn't hurt that bad. Yes my time was horrific. I don't care. I got my 5th medal of the 5 borough series!!
ReplyDeleteHow did you break it?? You are a badass that you finished. One determined person you are.
DeleteI have no idea how I broke it. I was walking by then because the weather was just MISERABLE and I took a step and felt a pop. It wasn't in a pothole or a hard landing or anything just a normal step. It was just slightly painful but I could keep going. By that point I think everyone gave up and no one was coming for us!!
DeleteNo idea what I won't be doing, but I will be doing an ungodly amount of chores, training, work, and things that are not fun. I have tried a few subscription boxes. Blue Apron was great, but my fiance would not eat any of the meals, so cooking 2 dinners was not so great. Also tried ipsy, but I am kind of too lazy to try hard with makeup so that didn't work out. Lastly, sock fancy. That one was my favorite. Who doesn't want a fun pair of socks in the mail every month?
ReplyDeleteHaha, you must have been running in my forest preserve because I see stuff like that when I run there. But if the cars are backed in, well, those guys are looking for something different...
ReplyDeleteHey, if you still want to jump from a ferry and swim to the mainland, you can just do the straight up swim from Alcatraz hosted by the South End Rowing Club for I think $180. I did this in 2001 and it's still one of the best travel races I've done in my life. I love remembering it and think it was worth what was probably like $100 at the time (I was in grad school, it was a lot of money for me I recall).
ReplyDeleteI loved your vlog! I have 2 daughters that steal my things, everything from makeup to shampoo to my underwear. Yes I said underwear! Thankfully the worst offender is away at college so I haven't had to go commando in a while! I used to get Birchbox which was makeup and was great. But cancelled after a year or so. It was fun to get but realized I could spend the money on other things.
ReplyDeleteThe one thing that I won't be doing in the next few days is running. Boo! Hiss! I've done something to my knee that requires a few days rest so that I don't make it worse.
ReplyDeleteI won't be buying any groceries in the next few days - we are moving out of our Hawaiian rental home, back to So Cal for a while.
ReplyDeleteI tried StitchFix for a while. I loved the clothes and it was fun getting a box full of surprises, but I work at home now so my wardrobe is basically running clothes and yoga clothes.
ReplyDeleteI think it would be fun to interview each and every person that actually does the Alcatraz Tri. They'd have to be both really rich and really crazy!!
ReplyDeleteHa! That's funny!
DeleteLove the vlog and the sticker!!! haha I will HOPEFULLY not be getting sick. The family is spreading a bug and I fear I'm next. 💀😳
ReplyDeleteI'm going to a 25th wedding anniversary party this weekend, and I won't be wearing normal party clothes. The party dress code: wedding dress, bridesmaid dress, suit or tux. Fun!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, $750 for Alcatraz? bummer. Love the vlog - and had to giggle that I'm in good company when I saw you pull out the peepers to read. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'll be watching our Chicago Cubs in the World Series! Oh, and a Saturday morning run and possibly some time in the gym tonight and Sunday. What I won't be doing? Drinking coffee. I'm prepping for a Whole30 starting Tuesday. I will likely be very crabby.
ReplyDeleteI won't be running this weekend :( Two weeks ago I fell on a slippery boardwalk and landed hard on my tailbone, during a trail race. I finished the race but it is super painful. Thankfully, nothing is broken as I need to start training for a marathon soon.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of Popsugar. I had never heard of it before but what a great idea as a gift to give a friend who has everything. (And who doesn't like to look forward to getting goodies in the mail?) Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI will NOT be doing what you saw happening in the car. At least, not in a car in broad daylight!! I love subscription boxes! Bulu has snacks and different supplements, Allure magazine has great beauty products and Fab Fit Fun has all kinds of cool things!
ReplyDeleteHaven't done a subscription box but always thought it would be kind of fun. Like Christmas once a month
ReplyDeleteI will not be participating in Halloween in the next few days. I've never really liked it, and my husband can take our son (only kid under 16 in our house) to do the candy begging thing.
ReplyDeleteI will also not be beating myself up for the above, or for being overweight, or for anything else. I'm making a pledge to myself - don't self-talk anything you wouldn't say to your adult daughters.
So, he was pulling lice out of her hair? Ewww.
ReplyDeleteI subscribe to stitch fix but this looks like fun:-) Besides, I really don't need any more clothes!

Been sitting eyes wide open behind these four walls, hoping you'd call It's just a cruel existence like there's no point hoping at all. Baby, baby, I feel crazy, up all night, all night and every day Give me something, oh, but you say nothing. What is happening to me? I don't wanna live forever, 'cause I know I'll be living in vain. And I don't wanna fit wherever. I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home.Thank you
