Five things Friday, ep. 4.

1. The weather this month has been incredible. Toss in the husband's unexpected day off last week and holiday this week, and I've been able to take advantage of the awesome weather with more daytime runs than usual. Running in the evening in warm-ish (shorts!) weather is great but running during the day (in shorts!) is just better.

2. The return to cross training is going well. I've been doing level 3 of the 30 Day Shredtwice a week and I'm still working on the push ups for Lisa's challenge.

3. I posted a review of Sun Crystals over at my other blog, including a link to get some free samples, if you are interested.

4. I'm between projects. This means I am antsy and trying my hardest not to let my mind go to that paranoid place where I imagine I'll never work again. Where I imagine that everyone hates my work and thinks I'm a hack. Where my reputation is mud. Yeah, I try not to go there. Instead, I'm looking for new projects and keeping my attitude as positive as possible (people need to hire freelancers in this economy; we're more cost-effective!).

5. Today is Friday the 13th. I'm not superstitious but two crummy things did happen. First, a friend canceled a lunch/play date that we had scheduled for today. Then, my Friday morning standing play date/babysitter (the babysitter comes over for 2 hours every Friday, with the little boy from next door to play with Conal) didn't work out. So, I had two fun things for Conal (and me, too) this morning but both went bust.

Turned out not to be so bad because I decided to take Conal to the NYS Museum, which is right by Owen's office. So, as an extra treat, we went to his office and then out for lunch. It was lots of fun!

Happy Friday, everyone. Have a great weekend!

Happy Friday!! Let's hope the weather stays because I haven't been able to enjoy it yet. :(

You'll find another project again soon. I'm positive. But, I hear you on the mind playing tricks. Good luck in stopping it from running!

Good job keeping the work attitude positive, you'll be awesome when it's time to be back! So happy your running has been warm!

I've had a few good runs in shorts as well, but the last couple of days Ida has made the weather suck.

I hate it when people cancel and I'm left with no plans. Glad you found something fun to do!

Sounds like a great day, in spite of it being the 13th.

I'm happy when I can run in something other than shorts (about two times since I started running in January). I don't think I'd like to run in snow but I love NOT being hot!

I'm with Rookie on the Run. I am so happy to be wearing something other than shorts (or a running skirt). I might even go for a run in the snow tomorrow! Woo-hoo!

And I'm with you on the freelancers thing. Have a happy weekend!

My fingers are crossed for a fun/challenging/high-paying project coming your way very soon.

Weather is crazy right now!! It's going to be in the upper 60s today. Not sure what to wear on race day next weekend.

Isn't this weather just fantastic?

Glad to hear the cross-training is going well - keep it up!
