True life – it is good I am a morning person. All before being picked up at 10:30 am I have run 11 miles, showered, packed (yep waited till the last possible time), blogged and had coffee. Productive. Oh yes.
True life – I keep trying to trick myself into not being nervous or anxious. Stress doesn’t help my stomach either so more of an incentive to take a chill pill.
True life – I am debating whether to run a marathon in March instead of doing the half with Jessie. I am actually terrified of running a marathon because I honestly don’t think I could do it. The longest I have run is a half marathon. I am still on the fence on this one.
True life – I don’t ‘go with the flow’. I try, I fail. Something I seriously need to work on. Routine just feels so much more home-y.
True life – I probably won’t touch my computer till I return Sunday night. I already feel blog withdrawal. Obsessed much?
True life – I highly doubt there will be a lot of gluten free options. Let’s just hope I am not a hungry and cranky Alex this weekend.
True life – my boss uses the work “janky” and “ghetto” a lot. I think it is hilarious. I personally have strange lingo so I appreciate this.
True life – you should probably go check out my guest post on Jessie’s blog today. She is on vacation, could I be more jealous?
True life – I’m nervous as heck. But I need to remember I am in Lexington this weekend to see two amazing friends get married.
Here goes nothing. Have a wonderful weekend!
Questions: What would be your true life statement today?
True Life – I am SO over this work week and would much rather have a job in Fitness.
It’s good to “shut off” from the internet when enjoying big life events! Have as much fun as possible this weekend. The blog will be there when you get back.
I wish I had a job in fitness or health coaching too. I think it would be a blast, get so jealous from so many of them in the blog world.
right?! Just another item to add to the “to do” list! haha!
HAVE FUN! I was in my best friend’s wedding a few weeks ago. It was the most fun I’ve ever had. No lie.
True Life – I immediately need the weekend, a nap, 2 litres of water, and someone to tell me a really, really good joke.
I hope I can enjoy it, have a wonderful weekend and I hope you get all those things.
The bubble wrap made me smile
Have fun at your wedding this weekend!
it is so true, isn’t it?
I can’t seem to go with the flow either! I’m totally comforted by my daily routines etc. and get super anxious when anything is out of whack. Trying to get better with this, but it’s a process.
Have a great time at the wedding this weekend!
Routine is my comfort level for sure.
true life – i used to love the show true life on mtv and still watch it when it’s on.
my for real true life statement…
true life: while my students are testing i am reading blogs and pinning recipes instead of grading and helping them. whoops.
I used to watch it all the time too! haha. I love that you do that! I am such a multi tasker as well
You are SO capable of doing a marathon. Do B&A with a bunch of us, it’s a flat course and entry is $50!
Whoa that is a great price for a marathon, when is it?
I’ll be thinking of you this weekend,Alex! Have a great time,let go of your fears,be yourself. <3 You're amazing!
I already feel like I am letting go of insecurities, oh what good friends can bring out in you
True life: for the first time in my short running career, I’m scared to death of my race this weekend. I know in theory I’m prepared to run a half marathon since I’ve completed a training program, tra la la…but y’all, I haven’t run farther than seven miles in one shot for the past two weeks. You want me to run 13.1 on Sunday?? Gah.
Have so much fun at your wedding!! Tell your stomach that it has no choice but to cooperate so you can enjoy yourself
I’ve found that often works with body parts 
(lies. All lies. But I think it should work!)
No need to worry about speed, just run it! I think you will surprise yourself. Aw, I will keep telling my tummy to nicely behave.
wow! 11 miles?! I’m with Victoria, I think you’re def able to run a marathon
Have a great time this weekend! Ignore the people you can’t stand 
EEk I just still doubt if I could do it!
Have a fun weekend friend! and 11 miles already today?! You are a rockstar!!
Wanted to get it in because this weekend would be only a shorter run. Thank you!
Yay Lexington! That is such a cute town! The bf’s architecture firm was renovating a building there so he used to drive there from Cville all the time. Have a GREAT time!!!!
It is weird being back on campus but I have to love the beautiful area for sure.
I hope you have a great time this weekend!
Thank you! I am really enjoying a lot of it already.
True life: I had to look up the word “janky” on urban dictionary because I’ve never, ever heard it used.
True life: I feel like I got hit by a truck. But I’m going to compound it by pushing out 12 miles and then crashing for 24 hours straight.
True life: I love my job, but I have never resented it (in particular my boss) as much as I do at this moment for doing this to me. And that makes me sad.
True life: I hope your weekend isn’t a challenge. But I know that if it is, you will rise to it.
Keep in mind your last true life point. This weekend, that’s all that matters.
Oh my goodness I use janky too much. I love your true life and I already feel like I am rising to the challenges! Woot woot
You’re going to have a great time in KY!!! My true life today? True Life: I wish my feet would stop hurting so I could get back to training. Going to check out your guest post on Jessie’s blog now !:)
It is actually Lexington VA haha…. I know small town you have probably never heard of it. I hope your feet stop hurting too!
LOVE the True Life theme in this post. Very clever! Have so much fun this weekend!!!
I used to love that show, just came to me that way.
Hope you have a blast this weekend, girl!!
True life: I think I’ve eaten my weight in sweet potatoes today haha
Thank you, I am already so happy I am here. I haven’t had a sweet potato in ages!
You are the cats pyjamas girlie!
My true life statement: This morning I ate so much pineapple my mouth is now raw. An hour later I walked to the fridge and ate more. I think I might be a masochist.
Hahah!!!! Oh my gosh I do that all the time with certain fruits and sour candy. Kills me but I can’t stop, so good!
Oh it’s like we’re twins. New situations make me nervous, I love being up early and getting things done and i have never gone with the flow in my life. I am so bad at that! I hope you have a fabulous time this weekend and there is something for you to eat
I know, I wish I was better with the whole go with the flow but I am still working on that one.
True Life: I am starting to tire from the amount of protein I am eating each day to keep my body fueled for training!
Oh man I am sorry, try switching it up with different kinds. Always need that switch up.
I hope you’re having a blast this weekend! True Life: I go to Costco just for the samples!
Who doesn’t! I wish I had one near me. I am already having a great time!
True Life: Now that I have my internet back, I love life again.
You must! I can’t believe you went so long!
Hearing about your early mornings makes me exhausted. LOL!
True life: I’d love to spend an entire weekend eating whatever the hell I want.
I hope after the competition you can do just that! I know my morning are crazy but I need that me time!
Have fun girl!! It will be good to take a break from the blog… we all need that at times! Focus on your friends and we will be here when you return!
You are so right in that advice and I already see myself doing just that.
True Life – I have to work all weekend, and secretly wish I didn’t have to.
Its good to take a blog break every now and again! Enjoy the weekend!!
I am sorry! Working all weekend is no fun, blog breaks help me too!
Have an Awesome time!!! Congratulations to your friends, I hope it is a wonderful weekend for you all.
Thank you Jess, I am already loving every second of it, something I didn’t think I would say
DOOO the marathon! I’ve gone on a 20 miler before and it was so not bad at all. I’m sure you’d rock a full. Have fun at the wedding!! Remember the goal.
I seriously have no idea if I will do it… so hard to mentally think about that 26
True life: you would think a rest day yesterday would psych me up for a workout today…yeah still not feeling it!
Ha, I hate those days. Last weekend I had two in a row for that reason exactly
Alex, I know how hard it really is, but you usually talk about running 10+ miles like it’s no big deal. You run those distances so much, it’s time for a CHALLENGE!
You’d definitely be able to do a full, and we all know you’ll train safely!
Have an awesome weekend and enjoy a break from the blog! We’ll all still be here when you get back, no worries.
I don’t know why but that mental block at 13 is a big deal! We will see, already loving the weekend.
First, have sooo much fun! Congratulations to your friend, and I know it’s going to be an awesome time for you
You know I love my mornings too, and I bet I am going to be doing a whole lot more smiling the next two years when I am feeling overwhelmed! lol
True life- I am enjoying coffee and reading blogs right now and I feel perfectly content
What a great way to start your day! I am already having a great time and today is the actual wedding day. Woot!
Ahhhh I bet you could do the full marathon
Are you thinking the DC RnR? I’m all registered for the half, so I’ll be there!!!!!!
I was going to sign up for the half, I did it last year but was just asked to do the full. I can’t decide! Woo I will maybe see you?
If I remember correctly, it is possible to sign up for one and the switch to the other later on if you change your mind (I’m not positive, but I thought I remember seeing that on the registration info). And yes! I hope to see you there!!!!
Oh really? That sounds like a good option except the marathon is more money. Can’t wait though!
Just breathe and have fun this weekend!
I did just that and had the time of my life. Success!
Awesome! I love when those successes occur!
true life: i wish i lived closer to you so we could do long runs together!!
That would be my dream. I miss all running buddies.
Have fun this weekend! Hope there are more gluten free options than you expect!
There wasn’t but I had the best time ever can’t even put words to it
True Life- I wish I could receive some good news soon, I’m tired of being a Negative Nancy. Have a good weekend!
I hope you get some good news too. I would be negative too! Hang in there!
Geez I had to navigate to the bottom of this post to comment. Moving on, I am the same way about being a morning person. It’s 9;45pm and I am about to pass out! Also about the marathon-I am so nervous about doing that too!
Have you run a marathon? I love being a morning person though. Waking up and getting stuff done feels good.
HAVE FUN! ENJOY! RELAX…and HAVE FUNNNNNN
Thank you Katie. Ps your tweets make me tired for you! I hope you are finding time to rest.
True life – I often stay in on weekends and don’t feel bad about it
Have a fun weekend! Won’t be hard to do while at a wedding.
That is one of my favorite ways to spend weekends as well.
True Life – I hate not eating sugar
Ugh i could never!
Your running totally inspires me. I think you would do great at the marathon. Do it!! I feel like that is on my bucket list but I would really want to run the race with someone. Not step by step, but at least start with someone.
You are way too sweet! I get motivated by everyone who tweets about running, gets me up and at em at 530 am. Ya, I mean this time I would have someone to run it with. Hm such a hard decision.
