A wonderful Year!

I know I have not post last week. It is because I did not run at all:[ I know this is horrible but I have been pretty busy. I started my internship this week. At the DA's Office. It is going pretty good and I am very excited to be almost done with school but even more excited to get a better job. Also my mom and mother in law came up to deliver our cake because our first anniversary is today. So we get to try year old cake tonight. I will let you know how that goes.

We went to the cities for a weekend. We went for a little shopping and we went to an apple orchard this morning. It was very relaxing and a great weekend in general.

This past year has been amazing and much more than I could imagine. We had a wonderful day and it has only gotten better. Don't get me wrong it has not the easiest thing in the world but it has been well worth it. When we first got married neither of us had a job. But since then I was able to find a job, Tony has been working on and off, I am about to finish school and we bought a home.

Tony and I are a prefect fit. We both are so quiet sometimes that I wonder how we ever got together but things kinda did move slowly in the beginning.. We both tend to be a bit crazy and goofy but it just works.We really have formed the perfect partnership. I do not know what the next years will bring but I know I am more excited than ever to find out!

I Love you, Tony!

A break

I know it has been a while but after last weeks 5k I decided to take a week off. I felt like I needed to rest for a bit. I know a 5k is not really that long but it was my excuse and I am sticking to it. I am going to start up again tomorrow. I better I registered for another 5k on Halloween down at Como Park. I am going to try once again to run it in under 30 minutes. I am going to try to get my sister and sister-in-law to do it with me. It should be a good time...

So much going on...

I have been pretty busy last week so I did not get the chance to blog.

Last weekend I did not go running at all. I had a super busy Labor Day weekend and I wanted to enjoy it. I went to the lake for a couple of days. It was a lot of fun. I had my first real fishing experience:] We rode our bikes around the lake. It was a nice little jaunt. Then on Monday we had a birthday part for Evan where everyone played a game of kickball. It was a lot of fun! But I was super sore on Tuesday. I tried to run the rest of the week but I did not get very far my legs were just not up for it.

Yesterday I had my second 5k. It was a real nice run. Kristine and Will came and they did the 10k. Hopefully next summer I will be able to do a 10k at some point. We drove to White Bear and saw a sign that said parking for race. We thought that was our race. Wrong. We did not discover this until we went to pick up our packet. Craziness. We got back into the car and looked for our race which we eventually found 20  minutes before the start. We had to pick up our packet and I really needed to use the potty and of course there was a long line. Thankfully the 5k started about 15 minutes late so I had plenty of time.

I started the race with my shins taped up because I was experiencing some pain in my shins. I taped it a little to high because it caused my calves to hurt and they were unable to flex. So about 1/2 mile into it I tear it off.

The race was a lot of fun and a whole lot easier then the first one that I did. Although I did not think I was as fast as I was in the first one because there was not as many people behind me. The finish line came up on me fast and then I was done. When I started this race my goal was to beat my time and I did:] My unofficial time was 40:30. I am waiting to see my official time and I will keep you posted.

No Scale September

I heard of some people I know are doing this and I decided to joing in. I usually weigh myself often and I get discouraged when I do not see what I like. Although my clothes fit better, I feel better and I get told I look nice. I have decided not to but too much emphasis on the scale because that is not really what matters. So we will see if I can make it.

On a side note I went running last night. I was going to go on Thursday but work has been stressful and I could not get myself to do anything. The run last night went pretty good. I could not quite finish it but I came closer to finishing it then I ever had before. So there was a plus to it. I went right after work before I had the time to eat supper. I think this will be my new plan. When I run at night I will go when I get home before I eat supper that way my stomach will not be full.

I am going to go running tomorrow night. It will most likely be on the treadmill since we are going to see my in-laws up north.
