Sweep!

It was an odd weekend bc I didn't run, I didn't do much of anything but relax and watch the BRUINS SWEEP THE PENS!!!!! Whoo Hoo!!!!!

This past week, I ran once and I tried out some new socks, Injinji socks. They were uncomfortable at first, by by the end of my workout, I hardly felt like I had socks on. I think I'll be sticking with these thru out my (first) marathon training. 

I had been on the fence about a marathon for awhile and after reading the July Issue of Runner's World and getting my Boston Strong poster, I decided that I would try it. I chose the Marshall University Marathon on November 10th and will sign up next pay period. I drew up a training plan on my calendar and I'm good to go. 

Matt and I have finally started on season four of Arrested of Development and I'm not super impressed. I love Portia De Rossi, but her new face is distracting. I also think that each episode focused on one of the characters doesn't flow as nicely as previous seasons. It is still funny and entertaining.  

This week we are going to see a "Spirit of a Marathon 2" and I'm excited bc I loved the first one. After the movie, I will be visiting my aunt and cousin in FL and I have been looking forward to it for months! Great week ahead!

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!
