Fun in Florida

Last week was a lot of fun bc we went to see "Spirit of a Marathon II" and bc I went to visit family in FL.

On Wednesday night, Matt and I went to a one night showing of "Spirit of a Marathon II" and I really enjoyed it, but not as much as the first one. The first one inspired me to one day do a marathon, BUT the second one scared the crap out of me. I'm truly doubting that I can do it, I keep going back and forth with myself. I have til July 1st to sign up without a price increase.

On Thursday night, I left to visit some of my family in FL and it was so great. I got to see my aunt, cousins, my cousin's new baby and my other cousin's fiance and future stepdaughter. I had a great time catching up and just enjoying spending time with all of them. I had two firsts while I was there: I tried my first oyster (cold, slimy, but not bad) and a lovely alcoholic drink that my aunt introduced me to, a Dark and Stormy (yum!). It was a great visit and I'm hoping that Matt and I will be able to make Chris and Shirley's wedding in November.

I got home on Sunday and celebrated Father's Day by taking a nice long nap with Matt and had a great dinner. The dogs got Matt a book on beer brewing, so thoughtful! 

Well, gonna sign off and watch the Bruins. Here's hoping for another win! GO, BRUINS!!!

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!
