Hello everyone!
Well yesterday I ended up sleeping most of the afternoon because I was a little warm. I guess the change of weather , and the rain we had gave me a little bit of a head cold. But, I feel normal now. I do love the fact that it is cooler out now. It makes it easier to run, and now you don't need water just to walk across the street. *hehe*
Anyway, today it was back to work. I went to Southpark Mall today from 11-3:30 and tomorrow I am off aside from meeting with my coworkers to go to Dallas to work the state fair. At four, I will be taking off . I am definitely looking forward to seeing the Dallas State fair, and getting out of town for the week and get a little change of surroundings. Now I just had coffee and have Charmed on. As soon as it's over, I will be getting ready to pack for my trip.
Aside from that, I am just another girl trying to be a Pokemon master. Oh my gosh, Pokemon Go is addicting. Since my job takes me around San Antonio, it's been interesting to see what sites around the city are made into Pokestops and gyms, as well as seeing what Pokemon are wandering around. But I do wish there was a way friends could trade pokemon in the game, battle with one another- things like that. Yes you can go pokemon hunting together, and walk together so you can get your eggs to hatch- things like that. But I think being able to battle and trade pokemon with friends would be a way to make the game more interactive and fun.
Anyway love you all and take care.

Saturday night blog
Well folks,
Friday was a good day off. I went to the gym with Scott in the morning. Then I took over the tv at my moms house. *hehe* It is nice just to rest and relax after this crazy week. Later on tonight mom and I went to her friend Jims house , and relaxed.
It is just nice to put my feet up for a little bit after this week. Mom and I had a spaghetti dinner and watched the taping of "Grease Live." ( The version where Vanessa Ann Hudgeons plays Rizzo.)
Then today we ran 13 miles and after our breakfast, I worked from 12-8 at the park. It felt long since there weren't too many people there. I got to see the "arrival" of the monsters into Six Flags. It was cool seeing all the monsters they are going to have. But omg it was crazy with people wanting to take pics of the monsters, get away from all the monsters,ect.
Now I am watching the first Sex and The City movie. After that I am going to get some much needed rest. I still feel like I need some balance to the force in regards to the running group. The people my mom coach are a great group of people. But I know I cant keep running long before a long day like I had today. But I also know if I don't then its running long by myself on my random day off. So there almost would be no point for me to go if I have to skip the long runs.
Aside from that, I have been giving into my Pokemon Go addiction, and I learned this week that our justice system is alot of waiting. You just have to have alot of paitence when it comes to court and the legal process, and hope that justice will prevail no matter what.
Anyway take care everyone.
Love you all.

Friday blog
Hello everyone!
Well, it's been a random week. I got selected for jury duty on Monday. (Yeap they found me.) I got selected to sit in on a civil case and after Tuesday I did my civic duty at court. It was cool having the chance to listen in to a court case. But yes, as most who has served on jury duty know, it is alot of waiting. I caught up on some reading, and Pokemon Go when I was not in court.
Wednesday, it was back to work with Holiday Inn, and I ended up having yesterday and today off. Yesterday I had to go to the staff meeting, in order to get a spiff, take care of my jury duty paperwork, and I learned that I have an upcoming road trip. Woot! Apparently I will be going to the Dallas State Fair from next Thursday night or Friday morning , and then I will be back next Thursday. I am looking forward to it. It will be a good event for everyone, and it'l be going just going to Dallas for the week.
Now, it is almost time for breakfast, and I am still debating what my plans are for the rest of the day. I still need to get my bus pass, and other things like that. So we will see what the day brings.
Right now, it's time for coffee.
Love you all.

So we strike again..
Hello everyone!
Well it has been a crazy couple of days. Yesterday after work, I met up with Felicia and we saw Suicide Squad . I loved the girl who played Harley Quinn. She was real good and I liked how the bad guys ended up saving the world. Today we got up early in the morning, ate breakfast , and went on a 20 mile run. Are we crazy? Yes. But Felicia is running her Marine Corps Marathon on October 30th, so it's time for her to get some higher milage in. My joke still is my mom is the one helping her prepare to complete her race. I'm just there to help her get a marine as well. (Hey best of both worlds right? haha)
The hardest part of the run this morning was after mile 10. It wasn't the high milage so much as around 9/10 o clock, it started to warm up, and that got to both of us a little, but we made it through somehow.
Now I am resting for the rest of the day. I am binge watching shows on Netflix, Scott is resting because he is under the weather, and mom is training the rest of the runners. Right now, I am wondering how my legs will feel tomorrow. Felicia and I both agree that the running and training that needs to be done to prepare to run a full length marathon is crazy
But she at least now realizes my price for running with her is fairly cheap. 20 miles in exchange for some oatmeal, and nutella. mmm nutella.... fair deal right? lol
Anyway, tomorrow it is back to work. I know darn work.
Anyway love you all.

Tuesday Blog
Hello everyone!
Well it has been a crazy weekend. I ended up running 18 miles then working from 2-6:15 at Six Flags. I feel like everything went good timing wise that day. Felicia and I started running at 6 am. We finished a little before 9:30. (She ended up running 19 miles because she could ha ha.) After that we got some of the free breakfast at the Drury Inn right by where we ran, and then I showered, ate lunch and got ready to work. I just hope I can handle this balancing act until December.
Sunday I worked from 10-6 at Six Flags. It was hot, but we all persevered somehow.
Yesterday it was back to Ingram Mall. I was there from 11-3:30 and it was quiet there. But I still got 37 leads out of the shift.
Currently, I am binge watching Charmed. *hehe* Scott has to work today, and I am off. Yeah for days off! *hehe* Later on tonight, I will be going to my moms running group later on tonight. We are taking it to the tracks for speed work tonight, so we'll see how it goes.
Anyway, aside from that I have learned that when you help someone, it really does come back to you, so, continue to pay it forward.
Love you all

So I am not a deer or cat whisperer...
Happy Friday everyone!
Well, football season has offically started. The runs are getting longer for my moms running group, and it's at least starting to cool off a little. So far I have learned I have no luck with animals when I am running.
For my past few weeks my moms running group has been meeting at Ladybird Johnson Park on Saturday mornings to do our longer runs there. At seven in the morning, you can see all kinds of deer as you go around the park, eating grass ,waiting for people to feed it corn, wondering what mile they are going to see my slip and fall at, and going on other deer adventures. I've been so close I could almost pet them, but usually I am trying to get my milage done, and they would run away from me when I start to get closer. But one
of my coworkers got to have her picture taken with a baby deer at a Hunters Convention she worked at. Some people have all the luck.
Last night my moms running group did a tempo run at Eisenhauer Park. While I was running, I saw a cat walking around when my mom and I where finishing up. I tried to say hi to it, but it went into the bushes before I got a chance. I guess I will have to continue trying to find mom a mascot for USAFit San Antonio. haha
Anyway aside from that, tonight I work at a foam glow run at Six Flags tonight, and the rest of the weekend I am back at the park.
I hope everyone has a good weekend.

Mid week check in
Hello everyone!
Well, today has been the usual day off so far. I went to the gym in the morning, ate lunch and now I have Twilight on. So Team Edward, or Team Jacob? Discuss haha
As much as I am a fan of shirtless, buff men I figured Edward and Bella where going to end up together. However I still don't know how I feel about the whole sparkling in the sunlight thing.
So life is ok right now. My only concern is it is getting into the slow season at work. I know I've been there for a few years now. But it was slow at the mall yesterday . I know it was because it was the day after labor day, so everyone was back to work after the three day weekend. But at least I got to be in air conditioning. I guess if I made it through before, I can make it through now. I just have to keep reminding myself that.
Aside from that, I am still running. I am scheduled to run 18 miles on Saturday morning. I am hoping I do ok . I know my body is still getting used to the higher milage. I am running with a nurse, so she will know what to do if something happens. But I am hoping Felicia will only have to bandage me up a few times, and I only slip once. (If that's not a running goal- I don't know what is. haha)
Anyway I hope everyone is having a good Wednesday.
Love you all.

Now I am the one netflix binging...
Hello everyone!
Well its raining, it's pouring, and the old man is snoring. *hehe* So far it has been the usual Friday. After the gym, Scott and I just relaxed at home. I am just wondering about the weather . I am supposed to run in the morning. Now I am the one netflix binging. They have new episodes of Young and Hungry, so I am watching that . Now I am the one with the Netflix problem.
But I have to know what happens between Josh and Gabi. (Oy.) Plus, it's only the fourth season that I need to watch.
Anyway, tonight Scott made chicken and potatoes for us to eat. I am resting for the remainder of the evening. I am scheduled to run 13 miles tomorrow and I am hoping it goes better than my run last week.
Love you all.

Only tried and true for the long runs...
Well folks
I stayed in last night because because my quads are still feeling it from the hill repeats last night. Yesterday I worked a shift at Southpark mall after a sports conditioning class.
As most know, I am a coffee addict. Saturday morning I didn't have coffee before my long run, and I could tell it was not my best run. Right before mile 10, Felicia started to run ahead of me, and after that I was more running and walking. Instead of the planned 17, I ended up running 16 miles. I also slipped at mile 13 at the dog park. ( I know, I am graceful .)
Lesson learned: to start the day at work , or before her run , Donna will need her coffee. I know, I don't have a problem do I?
Today I am off. Scott and I ate breakfast and now I am at my moms house, waiting for her to get done at four. *hehe* She wants to get an early start on our run tonight because there is a dinner not too far from where we run that she wants to catch the tail end off. So she wants to get going just about as soon as she gets off work. So I came over, and am currently taking over her t.v. and computer while she works. After today, I think mom needs to keep Netflix binging Gilmore Girls. When I came over, she was wearing one of the shirts I got from the Philipines, and I was wearing one of her shirts, so this was our dialogue when I first got in.
Donna: You're wearing my shirt
Mom: You're wearing my shirt
Donna: Touche
I figure if mom keeps Netflix binging Gilmore Girls, I'll eventually get all her clothes from all the snacking she will be doing. HAHA . That is how I got a pair of shorts she liked.
Anyway, I hope that everyone is having a good Tuesday.
