Photo a Day Challenge Retires : Week #43

Sadly, after almost two years of taking a photo a day everyday I have decided to retire from it. I really had high hopes of making it through the end of this year and then throwing in the towel, but I got so far behind with all the other stuff going on that I don't think I can catch up at this point.

Day 26 - Z is for... Zebra Print

Day 27 - One

Day 28 - Two... Doodle Nostrils

Day 29 - Three

Day 30 - Four... Doodle Paws

Day 31 - Five

Running stats for the November 3rd - November 16th... Folks, life has been hectic and one of the things that has really suffered is this blog. I always said that no matter what I would keep up with my blogging because I love it so much, but the past couple of months just haven't allowed me to do so. Work is crazy as usual... I work usually two 12+ hour days a week and sometimes the weekends. I'm also almost at the end of my Master Program... I have exactly three weeks before I present my capstone project and then I will be finished with school forever so I am scrambling to get things done. And... if that wasn't enough... the woman who played a huge part in raising me, my Grandma, is not well at all. Her health is failing and she is having to be placed in a nursing home. It has been heartbreaking for me to think about, but also equally as hard to watch my parents struggle with the hard decisions they are having to make and me be too far away to really help them in any way. Life has been a whirlwind to say the least, and I'm just waiting for the ups and downs of the roller coaster ride to level out.

Mileage Monday

Running stats for the week of October 27th - November 2nd... Well it was another pitiful week of not running. I'm sure I'm going to regret not keeping up with it since I will start losing the endurance I had built up. Plus, not running makes me feel like a fat cow. Ekkkk! The change in temperatures and the end of daylight savings time sure doesn't help things either. There really just isn't anything good about winter time. The one thing I do have going for me is the huge amount of walking I'm doing 5-7 days a week. Now that keeps me somewhat in shape!
