I Still Have a Pulse

Yes, I am alive. I have a pulse. I have been so busy on my normal blogging days that I haven't had a chance to update anything. That and other spare times I may have had is no longer spare, I'm back into my regular running schedule now, so I've been busy (ran my fastest 5k to date yesterday:) )
But, I don't wish to continue on a boring saga of my busy life. So I'll try and make this a usual post.

I am at Starbucks (oh, how many blog posts have I begun that way) and I'm trying to install some software onto my computer so I can make my iphone work as a remote mouse for my powerpoint presentations for youth group. I am on attempt 5 now.Its getting pretty frustrating. Its the same program I've been using since January, but it decided to quit working on me, so I had to go through and delete everything and reinstall etc. Its a good thing my message is all typed up and ready to go or I'd be sunk because of all this extra work. Sometimes I can figure out all this techy stuff, but lets face it: I'm not a tech-savvy person. I run strictly on trial and error. Right now I'm running more on the side of error. Its pretty frustrating.

On another note (and total topic change) , I have really been enjoying getting back into a running routine--let me rephrase that-- I'm really enjoying the FACT that I am back into a running schedule. The running I don't always enjoy. Especially the routes I ran a couple weeks ago. I've come to the conclusion that constant rolling hills hate me. They hate my legs. They hate my lungs. I'd be more than willing to be on a good relationship with them, but they do make themselves so hard to like. Its a bummer too, because Its such a pretty route, but for now anyway, I kill myself on it. I ran 4 miles on that route and felt like I was about to die. Especially because I realized that it took me 25 minutes longer to run 4 miles than it did for me to run the 5k i did yesterday.I am slow enough as it is, so coming to that little revelation was pretty depressing. Needless to say, I will be avoiding the rolling hills at least for a while.Besides, there are pot holes the size of craters on that road that I feel sure want to eat me. I figure its safer to choose ulterior routes, even if they aren't as scenic. But hey, at least I'm running again:)
