The time on the clock last night where a night terror had me hyperventilating? Nope. The time of day when my sweet tooth starts rockin' and I need to find a coworker's candy jar? Nope.
That my friends...is the time of my first mile in my 5k training run last night. We'll back up...
I called ahead to find out who the sub would be Bodyworks and it was going to be Lunges/Squats/Triceps lady so I skipped. Instead, I opted for a 5k run and weight training. My first mile was 12:52...new PR. I finished it in 40:02. 2 darn seconds away from under 40. Next time, my friends, next time. I feel good about it...my last 5k run on the treadmill was at 42 minutes with my fastest mile being 13:33 so I'm improving left and right. I think the spin classes is really helping me build up some leg strength. Speaking of spin, that's what I got going on today. Can't wait!
Food was good yesterday. Pretty much on target with the exception of Starbucks. Stupid, stupid Starbucks.
My boss, The Dark Lord, struck again. Found out she told a coworker that she's not sure as to why I came over at the level I did but perhaps it was due to tenure...implying that I didn't earn the title or pay. Well, ladies and gents. That's BS! I worked my butt off for my promotion, I've had this title and role for over 2 years before I moved into this position and I was working 50 hour weeks for 3 months in order to get it. So she can go eff herself! Whooooosssssaaaaaa. I hate her.
Different Subject...I've always read a bedtime story to my girls. Now my oldest can read and could read to her younger sister but Maddie still likes having me read to her as well. I have decided that it's time for my oldest to graduate to me reading chapter books to her instead of the short little golden books or whatever. Lori probably isn't quite ready yet but she'll just have to deal. So when we went to the library I picked up Ramona the Brave by Beverly Cleary on the recommendation of the librarian. Such a good pick! The girls are loving it! I read a chapter a night, and we're starting chapter 3 tonight. I'm happy that it's working out so well.
That's all I got today. Happy Tuesday!

Awesome time!!! You are going to smash 40mins next time! Sorry to hear your boss is being a total bitch, but I'm glad you know how it really is and can see that she's just on a power trip or something. Love chapter book time with little ones! x
Boss sucks..she should not be talking to anyone about you but her boss. And whoever told you what she said..is a pot stir-er...don't like them either..because the comment only upset you and there was nothing you can do about it but hate her more.
LOVE LOVE LOVE that you are reading a chapter book to the girls..I so want to start that with Johnny but his attention span I don't think is there yet.
I so miss spin...you go girl!
CONGRATS!!!! Isn't that an amazing feeling when you hit those PRs?? It's what keeps me addicted to running for sure.
I agree with Jenn, your boss sucks.. what the hell??
