[insert sound of bank account gasping for air]
Poor little bank account. This Monday it was celebrating its +$2000 balance, now it sadly sits under $500. But thankfully most of the big stuff has been paid for except for a few utility bills and saving contributions. The rest is up to me to determine how well or poorly I will spend it. Oh, and the sidebars have been updated accordingly. :)
I ran a total of 11.5 miles this week, which is pretty good considering it was hot, humid and sweaty. Yes–sweaty. This week I was also more conscious of my eating habits and made sure that I ate enough of the right foods to sustain myself during those long runs. Tomorrow I’m shooting for a 7-miler. We’ll see about that.
Happy weekend y’all! :)
I would be interested to learn how you got into running. I’ve thought about it, but don’t really know how to start (that sounds silly, but it’s true)
Way to go! I know it’s depressing to see you bank balance drop so fast, but you’ve got most of your big bills paid now.
Also, kudos on the running. I’ve made a solemn vow to get 11 runs in this month and so far I haven’t ran a single time.
This is going to be totally off-topic, and I apologize (I have been reading your blog for awhile, though!) but how did you get your little “debt progress bars” that are on your side navigation?
Goodbye paycheck, may your rest in peace :)
