A little of this and that

*Gotten sick

*Had starbucks 2 times

*Avoided housework

*Celebrated Friend's Bday's

*Minimal Laundry

I am enjoying a nice little blog update while my dearest sweet husband cooks dinner for me! :) We just ran 3.88 miles. I have to say I do get discouraged because it's hard. I really felt like it'd be easier by now. I suppose it is. I shouldn't expect it to be like walking -- or sitting -- it is a work out.

I must say....life is good right now. Things are busy and my house is not nearly as clean as I like it, but I'm learning to live and take care of myself and John, instead of worrying about needless things and things that I can't change right now.

YAY that Monday is OVER!!!! Tomorrow is LOST night!!!

Glutton for Punishment?

Running Update:

Jessica and I ran 5 miles on Saturday. We (Jessica) decided that since the Half Marathon course has hills, we should train on hills. Talk about painful! But, we did it. I must say that I sorta sucked it up. But I did it. It felt good to be done with that. We do 6 miles this coming Saturday. I'll let ya know about that.

Today, John and I ran 2.36 miles in 30 minutes. We made it to 2 miles around 26 minutes. I'm pretty sure my pace is picking up. It's exciting to see progress.

Random Thought:

I was thinking that i needed a hobby and something else to focus my time on. I think I'm going to redo the cabinets and woodwork in our house in a dark stain -- which will take alot of time. But, I'm excited.

PUNISHMENT:

Plus, as if running isnt hard enough -- I'm going to start the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. I have heard some things about it -- it hurts, it's hard, it works. I'm hoping it'll help with running.

I'm so tired of worrying about the scale when I know that I'm doing something to get in shape.

I am going to measure this weekend and start the shred next week. I'm excited to see the progress......

I'll have something else to update too!!! :-)

Hmmm....now it's time for some 1 point ice cream!!! WOOT WOOT!

Almost Wordless Thursday

There was a blog thing a while ago that was take a picture of yourself right now...

Here I am right now -- after a 3.34 mile/49 minute run

Here are my new best friends! My brand new Samsung washer and dryer!! :)

Tomorrow is Friday! John and I are going out with some friends for dinner and a movie. Can't wait!

Practice Makes Perfect

I don't want to get my hopes up -- but running felt good tonight!!

Tonight, we ran 2.66 miles, 30 minutes, and ran 3 minutes and walked 1. Talk about excellent!


In non-running news, we had to get a new washer and dryer this past week because our dryer decided to die last Sunday. We got new front loaders. LOVE LOVE LOVE them!!!
