Not quite time to pack the U-Haul

I am slightly frustrated and tired on this lovely August morning. Overall, I had a pretty good weekend. Started Saturday AM with the dead battery; so another 'grown-up' purchase and a stereo that does not work (apparently the geniuses that designed my Civic have some stupid security lock when the power is disconnected from the stereo... and unless you know your security code you have to take the stereo out to get the serial number from the stereo; call Honda and get the security code...now I ask you, if you STOLE the stereo you would be able to call and get the code---makes no sense what so ever---this morning my commute consisted of my iPod hooked up to a camping speaker)

So, I get a new battery installed and venture down to DC to look at a share house in NW DC, the girls were cool, the neighborhood was unbelievable and the price was awesome---but they picked someone else! I am sort of bummed because I really would have liked to have the opportunity to move Labor Day weekend. I am always looked over and guided, so this was not the right place; but it still stinks because I really loved it. Back to the anxiety table. I have to continue to pray about where I am go...

Enjoyed the incredible weather on Saturday night grilling out with Susan, Noel and Gary even endured an evening with the girls. Although, I have also learned that I can only maybe have a beer the night before a run. Margaritas are not very good pre-run.

I took advantage of another awesome day and headed north to close to the PA state line and had an OK 12.5 miler on a trail along the Gunpowder river, it was really pretty and I enjoy taking some time away from pounding the concrete in the city, and my body really appreciates it! I have not run with my group for 3 weeks...but I am keeping up with my mileage and not missing my long runs. Next weekend I have another supported training run on the Baltimore marathon course...I feel better because there are lots of people that run my pace...and I don't feel like the slowest 29 year-old runner in the world.
