Scatter-Brained

Normally summer months mean slower months for me, but not this year.  My tendency to cram too much into every day started to catch up with me both at work and outside of work.  My desk is a nightmare.  I've been forgetting things at home - like scheduling a few bill payments.  Whoops.  I got all that straightened out and the corresponding late fees reversed and should be back to my normal, organized self in no time.  Although, the house - it definitely could use more than my daily/weekly surface cleaning.  

July was to be my month with no schedules, no plans and the time for relaxation and stop going in fifty directions at once.  I can't say I'm really there but think I'll be a little less scatter-brained soon...except I do need to think about that whole JFK 50 miler thing!

Running has been happening but it's been rather boring, not much to talk about there.  

On Saturday, I went for 10 miles which was the longest continuous run I've done since sometime last month.  I've been running a good number of miles, they've just been a bit scatter-brained as well.  I've worked out a new routine that still allows me to get quite a few during the week, including plenty of dog running.  I'm now taking mine first thing in the morning, before they eat for the day to avoid the heat.  The only issue is they seem to forget by the end of the day that they already had some exercise for the day.  

Running with the shelter dogs has been a little sporadic due to the heat too.  I cancelled during the heat wave because I panicked that it was going to be too hot even for a walk.  We were able to get out this week though.  I didn't take this one far since it was her first time and she's pretty young, but she did really well.
