Moving Day is in three days, and my apartment looks like this.
No, really, I love moving. I’m excited to move, but I would like to fast forward to Sunday when I’m in my new place and most of these boxes are unpacked. (Because my BFF, my mom, helps, and she is A MACHINE, hiding in a small Italian woman.)
She was in tonight to help, too, and we ordered some pizza, which we balanced out with a salad.
Even though life is going to be crazy crazier than usual this week, I’m still going to do everything in my power to stick to my training plan.
What’s this new training plan, you ask?
Well, I’m running the MORE/Fitness Half (courtesy of Fitness magazine–thanks guys!) next month, and I’m going to train for and give it my all. (Since just giving it your all doesn’t always end well.)
My speedy friend Gia helped me come up with a plan. which I am very excited to follow for the next four weeks.
For a 1:54 half. The plan includes four days of running–which I found worked really well for me during NYC Marathon training–including hill training, since this race is one hilly bitch.
Most importantly…I have a winner!
I loved reading everyone’s responses to your nighttime rituals, and I really wish I could give everyone one of these pillows!
I must know where that pizza is from. Salivating over here.
@Carina: Casa Nonna!
Good luck with your move! I’ve been in this house almost a year and still have a few boxes to unpack. Sad, but true.
The pizza looks so delicious! I wish you good luck with your move.
I’m in the process of moving as well. After two weeks our boxes STILL aren’t unpacked! I can’t wait to have my curtains back up and all of my art back on the walls 🙂
That pizza looks delish!
Oh moving! As someone who’s moved 6 times in the past 7 years, I can totally relate. It’s no fun living in a jungle of boxes, but it’s worth it when it’s all over. Good luck!
@Kate @ ibrokemyumbrella: I don’t even want to count how many times I’ve moved in the past 7 years, but I’m sure it’s pretty close to that.
Good luck on your new training!! It’s going to help you enjoy that half mar so much more! 🙂 And moving sucks.. glad you have your mom there!
Good luck on your move, I can’t wait to see your new apartment. With your mom there I know everything will go smooth. Knowing your mom as I do, those boxes will be empty in your new place by next week.
I’m trying to beat 1:54 now too!! We should totally train together!
@Jocelyn: YES! Also, we are neighbors.
Does this mean you might come do Athleta long runs on Sundays??? 🙂
@Laura: Maybe? I sorta prefer to do them Saturdays, but, for you, I could maybe do some Sunday ones 🙂
They say moving house is one of the most stressful things a person can do…I always plan my moves like military operation so fortunately they go well. I get a notebook and then have a page for each room, write lists for each room which get crossed off on completion. Then I have a page for each utility company I need to contact etc…All this is sad but true and it works!!
Best of luck with your move and your training programme 🙂
Good luck with your move! It’s funny, every time I’ve moved or have helped a friend move, pizza seems to be the meal of choice 😛
Good luck with the training! Contrary to most, I love hill training – it utilizes different muscles in the legs and I don’t get as tired as I do running a flatter course.
You look enjoying the moving. And I’m starting to crave for pizza!. Good luck in unpacking your stuff
