I like my job and the extra money couldn&#8217;t hurt!  The only downside is I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;m working extra until the night before, but besides that I really enjoy it!  I got a few extra classes in this week and it kept me busy out of the house.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately I was too busy to exercise most of the week!  After my awesome run Sunday I didn&#8217;t run again until today, nor did I pay the gym a visit.  My last class ends at 9:10, and then I get home just after 10, which is cutting it really close with the gym.  And of course I&#8217;m in no mood to run that late at night- I just want to have dinner and go to bed!<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t have class until 6:15 tonight, so I had plenty of time to run.  I just didn&#8217;t feel like it though.  I was chatting with my friend Kelsey online, and complaining how I should go running but don&#8217;t feel like it.  She jokingly reminded me she has some of my bigger pants, and that was all I needed to get my rear out the door!  Seriously!  As I was packing to come home from my trip to the States, I was quickly running out of luggage space.  So I decided to part with some looser pieces of clothing.  I gave her my faithful, worn-in jeans, and told her I never wanted to be able to fit into them again, and to give them away.  I have only dropped 1 size from those pants, but I still call them my fat pants, and never want to have to wear them again!!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/s26.photobucket.com\/albums\/c131\/pinkloo\/?action=view&amp;current=IMAG0128.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i26.photobucket.com\/albums\/c131\/pinkloo\/IMAG0128.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"IMAG0128\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I closed my laptop, changed and got outside.  I did 8 miles again, almost at the exact same pace as the day before!  I&#8217;m not sure my pace is accurate and I might need to calibrate my foot chip, but it&#8217;s in the ballpark.<\/p>\n<p>And now, besides some afternoon classes Saturday, it&#8217;s my weekend!  I am meeting a volunteer friend for dinner tomorrow night, and then Sunday I am going to my first ever running club!  A coworker told me about a running group called The Harriers, and we all run and then have a food and drinks after.  I&#8217;m nervous but excited, it sounds fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At work, I offered to be available to teach extra classes on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
