I’m still here, I promise.

I honestly had no intention of going MIA for 10 days, but that’s what happened.

I’m kinda-sorta in a blogging funk. Heck, I’m in a general funk.

All I want to do is sleep! Even though work isn’t too busy (though it will be soon since a coworker just resigned), I’m exhausted when I come home. After work, I nurse Baby M 2-3 times, sometimes squeeze in a walk or a workout, eat dinner (that my husband cooks and almost always cleans), and just relax in front of the TV till bedtime. “Jeopardy” is the highlight of my evenings, yet I feel like every day I’ve run a marathon…except that I’ve done nothing.

My house is a mess, and I have no desire to clean it.

Oh, and did I mention that I’m “running” (quotation marks are very intentional) a 10K—my first—this coming Saturday?

Running the Azalea Trail Run was my single postpartum goal, so even though I’ve done literally no training or preparation (unless digging through my sock drawer to find my compression socks counts?!), I’m not going to skip out. I have an idea of what I’d like my finish time to be, but I’m not going to stress it. I’m sure lots of walking (coupled with heavy panting—but not that kind!) will occur. But you know what? I’m going to have fun.

Unless they all whither this week, the azaleas will actually be in bloom. It’s supposed to be a sunny, warm day, so I’m going to enjoy the weather, my surroundings, and the fact that my body CAN run/walk 6.2 miles—no matter how quickly or slowly.

(Plus a Belgian waffle, eggs, bacon, and strawberry tea will probably follow. CARBS = WIN.)

Anyway, I just wanted to pop in so all of 7 of you who read this little bloggity blog didn’t think I fell off the face of the Earth. I’ll get back into my groove, someday.

Till then, have a fantastic week! If it’s warm and sunny where you are, get outside and enjoy yourself. And if it’s still snowing in your neck of the woods, I’m sorry. Curl up on the couch with a mug of hot tea or cocoa—wearing fuzzy socks, of course—and relax (it’s what I would do, duh).
