A Nice Long Weekend

This weekend was nice and relaxing, I was glad to not do much since I have my final race of the Raleigh Triple Crown series on Saturday the 1st.

Saturday, Rachel and I met at Shelly lake and knocked out a slow almost seven miles. I felt pretty good and decided on a new pre long long snack....graham crackers and PB. I thought it was weird too, but it was super filling and I felt great. Our run was normal until we had to run by a huge, terrifying pack of geese. I'm not joking, I'm terrified of most birds. This picture doesn't do it's justice.

I spent the rest of the day watching hockey and thankfully, the Bruins pulled out a win to the eastern finals! Whoo hoo! The only thing that pisses me off is that Pierre will be on more and more nights. So obnoxious!

On Sunday, Matt started brewing his beer and it was interesting to see this long ass progress. It'll be weeks before it will be ready, but I will definitely try some.

Today, I babysat Miss Stella today for a bit and had fun playing with her. I even changed a diaper. I'm impressed as well! After, that I relaxed, read and watched TV. Matt made a great dinner for us, burgers and corn on the cob. Yum! 

In other exciting news, I finally paid off one of my student loans! I still have one HUGE one left, but it feels great to have one knocked out!

We signed up for a free month of Netflix, despite me loathing them, so we can watch Arrested Development. I can't wait to start the new season! 

I guess that's it for now! Next time I update, I should be an official Raleigh Triple Crown finisher! Wish me luck!

Bird-a-ful Run

I seem to be back on track, which is great. I weighed in today and down 2.7lbs after last weeks 6.9lb gain.....so, heading in the right direction again. I'm hoping with the half marathon training plan we have I'll be racking up more activity points and be able to lose a bit more weight. I will also be getting my thyroid labs re checked this week, so I might be due for another dose change if it shows I'm still off.

Saturdays Rachel and I headed to Shelley Lake again for our long run. We did our intervals and finished up our four miles in about 58 minutes. I'm surprised I didn't run faster bc there were so many birds! I'm straight up terrified of birds and it seemed like every bird in the city was there....ducks, geese, cranes and even giant hawks. I don't think I've seen so my birds in one place. I can't even tell you the pure terror I feel when I see a pack of Canadian geese.  I took some pictures but, it is kinda hard to see the birds. The hawk was hanging out on the garbage can.

I ate pretty well today and spent most of the day reading bc it was snowy and slushy out. The oatmeal was 8pp and the shrimp salad was 3pp. Not bad.

Other than that, nothing crazy new is going on. I would like to give a shout out to my parents bc the sweatshirt they got me for Christmas came with a hole in it and I had to send it back. They finally got the refund on it and they sent me this:

VERY cool! I love it! Thanks, Mom and Dad!
