So ... FrayedLaces tagged me awhile back (okay I guess it was like a week. I guess it's been a long week) ... and then I forgot.

And then I was cleaning out my e-mail account ... and then I remembered.

So here we go:

"Six Word Memoir"

Here's the rules:

(1) Write your own six word memoir.

(2) Post it on your blog and include a visual illustration if you want.

(3) Link to the person that tagged you in your post, and to the original post if possible so we can track it as it travels across the blogs-universe.

(4) Tag at least five more blogs with links.

(5) Leave a comment on the tagged blogs with an invitation to play.

Mine is: "Not there yet - Will be eventually"

That's the first thing I thought of at least ... I think it's accurate about my life as a whole:

• I'm mid-schooling (halfway through my Master's ... meaning I still have years of Ph.D. and then post-doc before I have a "real job")


• I'm mid- "grown up"


• I'm non-relationshipped (was engaged, didn't work out, not really sure where to go from here ...)


• I'm mid-fit (working on it, but not getting anywhere fast - may be at a plateau ... already?!)

but, unfortunately, it seems so ... pessimistic. Which I think I am, or maybe cynical. Which I'm not proud of. So here's to more optimism ... anyone have any tips? I need them.

Maybe I should have just changed the word "eventually" to something peppier and skipped all that. Oh well. There you have me. I'm tagging people that inspire me:

Today's running report: Went out for W8D1 (28 min) ... got to 14, walked a minuteish, got to 21, stopped. Probably the water thing again. I don't know how to "get thirsty" ... I keep a water bottle on my desk but I never ever get the urge to drink from it. *sigh*

W7D3

So ... I'm an idiot.

This run didn't work out so well.

I went. but I had to stop ~15 minutes and walk for 2 minutes before finishing it out.

Problem? I didn't have any water.

All day.

It was 7p and WARM and, as a result, I was overdressed. It was 60 and sunny and the long-sleeve shirt was too much. A t-shirt would have been fine. So I realized I was sweating, and thirsty, and then I realized that I'd had a busy day and that I hadn't had anything to drink since my morning coffee. No joke. So it wasn't so fun. And I know better.

I've noticed I haven't been drinking hardly anything at all for a couple weeks now. I just haven't ever been thirsty except for right after coming in from a run. I don't know what the deal is. But I guess I need to force myself to drink water throughout the day now ...

I'm still moving on to Week 8 tomorrow, regardless. Wish me luck :)
