OMG I am still tired. Our electricity went off twice Monday night because of the thunderstorm, and I was still tired when I got up. Tuesday I ended up going to Sonic with my friend Jenn, and after we got back from the gym, Scott took a nap before he went to work out his evening client , and I ended up going to my moms running group. We ended up doing hill repeats for 30 minutes. My gluteus is still feeling it. (oy.) Wenesday it was back to work. I was at Ingram Mall from 11-8. I had lunch from Sarku Japan. I still find it amazing that it can be dead in that mall, but I still have to wait in line everytime I get food from there. I still wonder how they do it. Is the fact they make the food right in front of you , or what? Either way they know what they're doing, after all their food is really good. There I learned when it comes to work, Im more critical of myself then most people are. It was slow at the mall and the girl who trains people was there so she was going to give me my evaluation since i was there. I thought oh no, it's slow at the mall - why couldn't she evaluate me at the Taco and Tequila event, where i got over 300 leads on my own? But she made it clear I am on the right track.
Today I am back at Six Flags, then I will be joining my moms running group for a run.
Yesterday, I worked at Six Flags until 3:45. After that, I was going to run with my moms running group, but mom cancelled the run due to the weather, so I ended up running on the treadmill at her house for thirty minutes, then I came home.
Tonight I worked at Six Flags until 8.Then mom will be picking me up, and I will be spending the night with her since Scott is out for the night.
With August 6th coming up, I know I have a lot to think about. I still have to get my mom a present since it will be her birthday too. I also am starting to think about what I want to accomplish now that I am 31. I am not planning on doing anything big. I just want to see family and friends. But despite something I will turn 31 knowing I make my coworkers think I work, I have a mom that loves me, and I have friends who want me to be the best I can be. I am glad I am going into 31with that kind of support system.

It's Monday night
Hello!
Well, I have started the beginning of the workweek with the day off. Saturday I ended up running 12 miles with my moms running group because a girl in the group is training for the marine corps marathon in October , and my mom wanted someone to run with her, so I did. It was the first time in a while I ran that long, and add the morning humidity - my body was going whew! After the run, I worked a shift at Six Flags, and a friend of my moms was having a dinner party not too far from the park, so I ended up going to that. The food was amazing. There was fruit, italian lemon candy, german chocolate, and most of the food was from the garden, or made from scratch. It made me wish I could make stuff from scratch. When it comes to cooking, I need a recipe for me to be able to make anything. Sunday after work, Scott and I ate at Jims for dinner, and then we relaxed for the night.
Today after the gym, I ran by the office, and now I am just relaxing for the night.
Yeah for nights of t.v. and coffee. *hehe*
Tomorrow, I am off again, and then it is back to work. I am just hoping I can continue to handle the heat until summer is over. Stay cool everyone.

Sunday night thoughts..
Recent events have made me wonder about maturity, mainly mine. It's been hard because I know I am not perfect. I still pout, cry, and cross my arms when I get mad. I still forget to close the doors all the way, and the water still drips when Im done using the sink. If I am not working out, it's hard to get me to do anything on my day off. Any of my coworkers can tell you that I am easily distracted -(oh, a squirrel.) I don't drive,and yes I still like a good Disney movie every now and then.
But, I have never used my shortcomings as an excuse to at be late to work, or to not produce. I think it's like what my choir teacher in high school said, we all have a mature side, and immature side.
Maybe instead of wondering who's mature , and who is immature, it's more important to find people who enjoy being with us for who we are- no matter what side we're showing.
After all, no matter what we're all worthy of being loved.

random check in
Hello everyone!
Well, its been a typical day off so far. I went to the gym with Scott, and now just relaxing at home. *hehe* For two days I have worked at the Henry B Gonzalez convention center at the coaches convention there. It was cool seeing all the different athletic equipment there, but it felt good to be back at the gym today. Freebirds was giving out free burrito samples , brownies, and Dairy Queen was giving out free dilly bars, so I needed to work off the convention food.
*hehe* Now we are just resting, and watching t.v.
I have decided I want to continue running with my moms running group. I like how I run faster when I am with them. I will need the help with the longer miles , since I want to at least improve my time for Rock n Roll San Antonio in December, and it will be nice to meet other people to run with.
I do like running solo. After all, you can on your own time, own pace , and you can cut the run short if you need to. But, at this point I have proved I can train to complete races without being in a running group, now is the time to see what I can do with a little help on the road.
In other news, my current manager told us he accepted a job in Dallas. He always said he had the talent to hit our goals at work. After working with him, I think we all deserve someone who reminds us that we have the talent to get where we want to go. If you're reading this, know I believe you have the ability to go whereever you want.
Love you all

Weekend review
Hello everyone!
Well, it's Sunday. I am at home with a movie on the tv and coffee at my side. Life is good. It has been a busy weekend. Saturday morning, I ran with my moms running group. I know I am crazy, but it's nice to meet other people who are into running. At least into it enough to get up early in the morning a few times a week to do it with my mom. *hehe* Later that night, I went to dinner at Golden Corall to celebrate my moms friend Jims birthday. This morning my mom and I went on a 6 mile hike and then it was back to work.
I am still wondering if I should offically join moms running group. I can't ignore the opporotunity. Id get training by someone who has run the Boston marathon for free. But Saturday mornings is pretty much work time for me because thats primetime for events and whatnot. So I am still thinking about if I would be ok asking to be scheduled just in the evening on Saturdays.
Friday at Six Flags I spent most of my shift asking people who where obviously playing Pokemon Go what Pokemon are in the area. Apparently there were pidgey, ratata, and a zubat in the area I was at today. Yesterday someone caught a nidorino by our booth. To anyone playing, please be aware if your suurounding while you're playing, so noone gets hurt and everyone can continue to catch them all for many days to come.
Anyway, aside from that, I am starting to think about what I want to do for my birthday. My mom is going on a cruise , and knowing that , it makes me want to do something fun at least.
Anyway, keep August 6th open everyone.
Love you all

Happy Wendnesday!
Well once again I am off. Yeah for days off! lol So far I went to the gym with Scott, had lunch with Jenn, and then I went to Walmart with Scott. Yea for random Walmart trips. Now we're just relaxing at home, and have the news on. I like having coffee with him while watching tv after dinner. It's like our thing, and it's nice to do that after running around the place like a crazy chicken.
Then I apparently will be back to running around. It's employee night at Six Flags, and I will be going there with a few co workers. Even if I don't get to go to the waterpark, we'll at least get to ride some of the rides, and see some of my coworkers off the clock. After all its what you do go to the park when you don't have to work even if you're there all the time. *hehe*
Tomorrow it will be back to actually trying to work.
I am still debating if I need to talk to my manager about seeing if there is a way to make me schedule so that I can join my moms running group everytime they meet up. I know right now it's no big deal that I am just running with them when they can, but when it gets time to do the longer runs, I will want to be with them, since I have a time goal. We will see what happens, I guess.

I am blessed
Happy Saturday!
Thursday I had another day off.
I went to the gym with Scott in the morning, and later on that day I learned once a greeter, always a greeter. I went with my mom to help promote USA Fit San Antonio.We had a booth in the YMCA off of 281 and we went for a three mile run, and talked to people as they where coming in and out of the gym to see if they wanted to join.
Friday, I worked the evening shift at Six Flags, and ended up spending the night at my moms place because I ran with her USAfit -San Antonio group this morning. We ran 4 miles to kick off marathon training season , had tacos before having to pull a shift at Six Flags. Then Scott said he was feeling weak, so after bribing my friend/coworker Debra with ice cream, we went to Walmart and got some chicken soup and gatorade for him. Now I am resting for the night. If I wasn't an adult before, I definitely am one after today.
Between USAFit-San Antonio , and my actual job, I feel like I am a lead for two companies. But I learned through it all that I am blessed. I am blessed to have coworkers who think I am good at my job. I am blessed to have friends who help me however they can , and remind me that I'm always welcome at their table , a boyfriend who cooks me dinner and does my laundry, and I am blessed to have a mom who I can run with . Now that I am done pretending to be an adult, it's time to relax for the night.
Love you all

mid week post
Hello everyone!Well, the fourth came and went. I still got to have a little bit of fun. Scott bar b qued on the third of July since Troy was over. After work on the fourth, Scott and I just relaxed at home since he wasn't feeling too well. After work yesterday, I ran after work, and made sure I was still getting some miles in. Today I went to the gym with Scott to work out, since I was off. It was nice to go to the classes again, and stay in air conditioning for the day. *hehe*
Now we are just relaxing. I have the musical Grease on, so life is good. I am also seeing where I can get a new gymbag. The one I have has seen better days. The zipper isn't working, so its time to start looking for another one. Sad but true. *hehe* But I know when I will have found the right one. I am still just looking forward to September when the weather will really start to cool down. Until then it is nice to know some things stay the same .Scott and I had coffee while watchinf tv after donner. Aside from that, I am going with mom tomorrow to a thing to kick off the start of USA fit San Antonio. Pretty much, my mom is a coach and she will be helping get people ready for San Antonio Rock n Roll marathon and half marathon in December. So let's see where the trails take us this year. :0) I am hoping to at least shave some time off . I'm nervous and excited.at.the same time because this will be the first race I've had a time goal for
So *laces up running shoes* See you on the trails!

Happy Fourth of July everyone
Hi everyone! It has been a busy, and random weekend. Friday my co worker/friend Liz and I went to New Branfuels to see our Director of Marketing, Greg in the play he was in "Footloose." It was a fun night. We got food at Buccees along the way to the theatre. When we got to the show, we had complimentary wine, and the show was fun to watch. Then, we went to Buccees again, and headed back to town. It was a much needed night out since I had to work from 10-8 at Six Flags the next day.
I have to admit,everytime I see a show it makes me want to do shows again. But, I know right now my schedule doesn't allow me to, for free anyway. Maybe I will figure out a way to bring balance to the force. *hehe* I will always love doing something creative. Anyone who knows me that I am not normal. Today I danced around while the circus was going on to help my Debra get some steps in so she could beat her friends in a fitbit challenge she was in, because that's the kind of person I am. *hehe* Someone there said I danced better than some of the people in the show , so if you want a job in the circus, just dance around! lol After work, Scott grilled chicken and brats, so we had that for dinner.
Tomorrow it is back to work. I am back at Six Flags. If it is busy, then I guess it's better for me to be working there than running around the park. I don't want to wait forever just to get in the waterparks, or anything like that.
After work, I am not quite sure what I am doing. But we'll see what the weekend brings. Have a wonderful fourth everyone!
Love always,
Donna
