Day 47

Took a day off from training tonight. Running-buddy-Jill and I have been hitting the pavement hard and consistently, making sure we get all the miles in. Saturday we ran a ten miler. While it was definitely hard, it felt great. I've been struggling on the longer runs lately, and mentally was starting to get down. This was the farthest I've ran since my half marathon last fall, and I'm excited to say it was fun.

My friend Shannon ran her first 5k yesterday!! It was held at our work, and while I can say a few things about the organization, it was flat and fun to run with her. She killed it too. Great pace, and pushed at the end to pass a few people. She is brand new to running, and has been doing a couch (potato) to 5k program. She hasn't actually made it to the end, because she's an overachiever and tackled the race early. I was so proud.

And tonight, I skipped my scheduled run. Feeling a little run down, and sometimes you just gotta listen to your body, right? So I'll be continuing reading about running a marathon.

More fun facts about me... former book worm. I still love to devour a book. But how many evenings do I really have between training for marathon and training with my camera?

Review of A Race Like No Other forthcoming :) Now go check out Shannon's blog, all about the adventures of her, her funny hunting husband, and adorable dog. She (unlike some of us, ahem) blogs pretty regularly.

Day 43

Fun fact about me: There's not much that mint chocolate chip won't fix. Waffle cone= bonus.
(My hubby makes sherbet look manly. It's true.)

Summer is officially here. I know I whined when it was raining all the time, but this 90 degree weather with 50% humidity is not as peachy as it sounded. HOT.

Ice cream is always a good fix for that though...

Day 37

We've been married 284 days.


I think it's a good day to celebrate that, don't you?

Day 31

I love home.


Little Apartment too full of stuff. It's where we flop after each and every long day. And the shorts ones.




This is our first real place together. As much as I pine for a house, I try to remember that this is home.


It's where we drink our tea.

Day 25

So the original pictures that I took on Day 25 were of Max wearing a purple monkey costume. Sadly, these accidently got deleted while I was uploading other pictures at a photography class that I took Saturday morning. So instead of purple monkey dog, I'll show you some pictures of me and J. Totally self-absorbed I know.

None of these pictures were taken by me. I'm just saying. Trying to show off my modeling? Hahaha... I am really just bragging about how cute my hubby is.

This is from a dinner the night before our wedding (not our rehearsal)

At a rainy family barbeque



From our honeymoon in Puerta Vallarta



And lastly, from my favorite snowboarding trip ever, Jackson Hole, WY. Please notice the beard. He is very proud of his winter beards :)



Tomorrow I'll catch up with photos from the weekend. A photography class and another little person's birthday!
