Um, Life?

Alright lets see where to begin; oh yes well running is going very well. Hopfe and I tweaked my workouts to tailor me a bit better so that's good. Oh, and I ran on the treadmill the other day since the weather was really bad. Yes, I do run in lightning storms on occasion, it has happened about four times in the last three weeks, but I do stay clear of tornados lol. Anyway, I have decided that that was my last run on a treadmill, it was rather boring. I looked at myself in the mirror for far too long. To be honest I think I can actually picture what I look like in my head now, purely from that experience. As for my other workouts they are going well. I have decided to do short bikerides before 7:30 work, it's early but it makes me feel so much better. So, I guess technically I'm doing two-a-days almost every day, though the mornings before work are easy.
Work is going well, I'm flustered with it because I spend hours getting something ready only for the plans to change and everything that I did suddenly means nothing. We still haven't flight tested though the plane did fly thursday and friday. It was exciting to see the plane come back each time, but I stressed out way too much both days so now I'm pretty tired. To be honest the last few weeks have been tough as far as work and non-running things are concerned. My boyfriend was ignoring me for the couple of weeks after Nationals, ie. I would only see him when he was drunk and that was once a week. Anyway I confronted him about it and we broke up. We are still friends and I don't mind spending time with him but sometimes its hard when he doesn't look at me the same way he used to. I don't know why this keeps happening but I guess it was bound to, none of my relationships ever work out too well so I have decided to just have close friends, granted that was kind of what my ex-boyfriend and I were, lol.
On a lighter note, my bridesmaid dress came in!! lol. It's orangy, peachy, something oddy colored, but my cousin likes them and its her day. I told her she could dress me in anything and I would be there so long as it was something, lol. I fly out ot California for her wedding and then the next weekend I have to go to Chicago for another wedding (I'm not in that one, lol). It's weird people my age, people I have known for a few years now are getting married.
Anyway, hope everyone is doing well, after wednesday NO one is going to be in town, I don't know what I'm going to do with myself. Oh well, I'm sure I'll survive, I can always make friends with vacationers lol. Well, take care everyone!!
