Comfortable Home Life | running, family, drinks

things I’ve been up to…

I joined a running group. I’ve always trained alone, so it’s definitely a change, and a good one, at that (I think). I also have a bit of social anxiety, and considering I don’t know anyone in the group, it’s a bit of an understatment to say that I’m nervous. Orientation was this week and our first group run is on July 14th. Time to tackle my fear of being slow and get my butt in gear. Disney is less than 200 days away now!

Maybe I’ll just picture this during my training:

My mom and brother came to visit me in Greenville. We did the “Mice on Main” challenge, went to the farmer’s market, walked around Furman, went camp shopping and ate delicious Italian food. My brother is currently at sleepaway camp a short drive away from me, so they stopped in for a visit before he needed to get dropped off. I hope he’s having fun!

I’m addicted to beverages. It is so, so hot outside (104 this weekend.. ugh) and I need constant refreshment. Water gets a bit boring. I’ve been drinking coffee every once inawhile instead of every day, and it’s going fine so far. Let’s hope it continues this way. And yes, I’m aware that coffee dehydrates. It’s just so delicious. Otherwise, I’m also enjoying the cherry vanilla cream slush and green tea lemonade. Yum.
