Buying Workout Clothes = Working Out...right??

So this is a running and teaching blog...and I haven't really been writing about either!  While I haven't been running due to the ice wipe out that resulted in a banged up knee, I have still been teaching, I promise. :) Let's just say though that teaching isn't my favorite thing to talk about these days!  It's been a bit...exhausting...know what I mean??  Anyways this is going to be a completely random post, so please forgive my melting teacher brain...

After resting my knee last week, it is feeling one billion times better.  Hypochondriac jumps-to-the-worst-conclusion me had convinced myself that I had torn my meniscus and would of course require surgery...
Of course that's not the case, thank goodness!  It is feeling 99% better, and while I'm planning on giving it another week before trying running (hey, after the nonstop injuries I've had, I am overly cautious these days!), I'm trying to get myself to do some cross training this week.  I don't know about you guys, but if I get out of my fitness routine for one week, it's AWFUL for me to get back into it!  I made it to the pool Sunday, but all I did yesterday was curl up on the couch and watch 3 hours of Downton Abbey aka my new obsession...
Have you seen this show yet?  Amazing.

Today I had GREAT intentions to get to the pool again.  See? I even laid out my clothes and stuff out before I left for school, planning to come home and change right away!  Needless to say, they haven't moved...
Okay, okay...I promise I have a great excuse!  Teacher Mom texted me at 7:06am, "FYI Carsons has 60% off boots."  Well, what was I SUPPOSED to do?  Of course I emailed her immediately suggesting we meet for shopping and dinner after work.  Teacher Mom loves shoes too, so she was in!  Behold $40 boots:
Because by this point it was pretty clear that there was NO way I was making it to the pool, I figured the least I could do would be to buy a new swimsuit...and some new crops for running/yoga...before I knew it I had spent way too much money.  (Who am I kidding, this happens every single time I go shopping!  I have a problem!)
Oh goodness.  Even though I didn't make it to the gym, at least I got a stack of papers graded after school.  Tomorrow, GYM!  I swear. (Unless there's a sale on shoes somewhere else...) ;)

One of these days I'll muster the energy to talk about school...maybe...

  3. Yeah, exhausting here too. I thought today was Thursday and there are two days left to this week, not one as I thought all day. Fun purchases though. I may shop on line tonight!
