First, I broke my headphones. Not just any headphones. The "best" made-for-athletes headphones. The supposedly sweat and idiot proof headphones. But, I manage to defy the odds and break them. Of COURSE.
LUCKILY, they have a year warranty, so I email the company (yurbuds)and they are FABULOUS and email back within hours and say send the headphones to them with the warranty form they attached and the receipt. EASY. Yeaaaah. Except I lost the receipt. Because I'm dumb. Obviously. Thank goodness the wonderful people at yurbuds freaking ROCK and let me return them without the receipt. Now, you know I can't go totally headphoneless til I get the new ones from yurbuds, so I do what any ration person would do: go to Dollartree and buy some really uncomfortable, shitty $1 headphones.
Why else has my week been shitty... well, I dropped my phone in the toilet yesterday and now keep randomly getting this message:
What does that mean, Apple??? What accessory? Toliet water?? Yeah, I'd most def say THAT is NOT optimized for this iPhone.
I also haven't woke up for my 5:30am gym class evvvven once this week.
I have no idea what's wrong with me. Usually, I'm all about it. This week, BLEAAAAH. Maybe I'm getting sick (even though I feel fine)? Maybe I'm going through a spurt of burn out (even though I'm not training for anything)? Who knows. I did get a workout in on Monday (Signature Strength) and yesterday (7 miles) (Note: Tuesday was a rest day) and plan to run on my lunch hour today, so I'm trying not to beat myself up about it. I mean-- are two-a-days really necessary? NO. No they are not. So, the fact that I've worked out 2 of the 3 days thus far this week is pretty darn good, in REAL reality. Maybe not in the running/healthy living blog "reality", but in the actual world-- I'd say it's a win. I'm also just gonna go ahead and call it a stepback week... just to maintain my sanity. I'll get back to my normal routine next week. For real.
This has also been the LONGEST WEEK EVVVVER. And, I was off Monday. UUUUGH. Not good. And, I don't have another day scheduled to be off til... oh, I dunno... MEMORIAL DAY in MAY. Bleah. Depressing.
So, it hasn't been my week. Hopefully it'll turn around. I have a delicious cup of coffee and a chocolate peppermint stick Luna bar waiting for me right now and this rascle waiting for me at home.
Life's not so bad.
I don't have a day off scheduled until MDW either and I wasn't lucky enough to even have Monday off. UGH. :/
ReplyDeleteSorry about your headphones, but it is nice to know that Yurbuds has good customer service.
BOOOO! I love my job, but sometimes work really cramps my style! LOL!!
DeleteIt's totally okay to not work out twice a day. Did I see correctly that you set an alarm for the weekend?!?! WHY?!?! Wait til you have a baby to do that. For now enjoy waking up whenever you want!!! (Do you sense jealousy?!?! If not, you should!)
ReplyDeleteI know! It's just something I've been doing for so long that now it feels weird when I don't.
DeleteI set my alarm on the weekends, even though I tend to be up already, but that way I make sure I don't sleep in toooo late. I hate wasting the whole day asleep! Plus, I always end up falling asleep well before 11 on the weekends anyway, so I get PLENTY of sleep then!
I go through headphones all the time too. I went through yurbuds also and then finally just gave up and stuck with the ones that came with my ishuffle. My dad also got me some for Christmas that so far I haven't trashed but we'll see.
ReplyDeleteGo easy on yourself! If you aren't feeling the 5 am thing this week then don't force it - then you could start to resent it. I don't think 2 a days are always all the rage, so you should be proud of your self not down! Do what you are doing and call it a step back week and then maybe next week you will be more into the early morns. P.S. can't wait to see you!
I hate that about headphones!! SOOOO frustrating! They can be PRICEY too!!!
DeleteCAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU TOOOOO!!!
