Just Plodding Along

Happy everyday to be married to my best friend! We kinds of celebrate twice a year since we sorta, kinda got married twice.....but hey any reason to celebrate. This year has been a bit crazy- just the way we like it. Love you D. Here is to many more crazy years!

Well blog, you and I have been at it for a year now.  Thanks to everyone who has stopped by and read my musings.  Here is to another year of half marathons, marathons (?).... and running fun! Workout this morning: 4 miles in 42 minutes pretty good for blazin hot and humid temps. Tomorrow 14 miles are on the schedule but we will see. If it super hot and awful, miles may be dropped. Tomorrow we load all our stuff up and Monday we are off to our new life in Illinois. Excited and nervous and very tired of packing, cleaning and dealing with details. Luckily we found a place to live today and I think it will work out great (fingers crossed, if everyone could cross their fingers that would be great, every little bit helps). I was super excited that my Sweat Pink Ambassador stuff came in the mail today! Apparently we will live here for years and move out and never, ever get this mirror clean. On the bright side- tank top is awesome and super soft. Love it! ...

Last week was kind of not great in terms of cross training: 1 day of zumba and one day of yoga. The lure of the couch after work is strong. Do not pass go, do not collect $200, when get home head straight to workout clothes. Even so I ran 28.5 miles last week including my fastest mile in a long time 8:46. #RWStreakExtreme is going strong. On the Agenda for this week: Mon: 1 mile plus xtrain of some kind (maybe strength) Tues: 4 miles easy and yoga Wed: 7 hilly miles and yoga Thurs: 1 mile and xtrain Friday: 6 miles with 2 at a faster tempo Saturday: Breeze in the Trees 5K sub 30 minute attempt. Woot Woot Sunday: LSD 13 miles + napping Fun Fact: D bought me an iphone. Whooeeee I immediately had to obtain an otterbox case because it is not if but when will I drop it. So this is what I will be doing with my free time.  Yesterday D and I celebrated our Anniversary by going to The Melting Pot where I ignored D and played with my new iphone (I had to check in ...

Hey D you are fun! Lets go for 6 more. Happy Anniversary. Love you!

I attempted to make D his favorite cake for our anniversary..... NO NO NO NO NO Ta da doesn't that just look delicious- I love you D Disclaimer: this cake in no way is a visual representation of how much I like my husband, just my inability to correctly utilize a box mix. oh man I was so mad. I followed the directions and cakepocolypse happened. How do you mess up a #$%$#$$% box cake. HOW?!? At some point I should have stopped. A normal person would have gone out and bought another $1 cake mix but no I was bound and determine to frost that turd of a cake. My thought being the frosting will cover up the fact that it is in a million pieces. There is not enough frosting in the world to make this right. So fail number one. I fear for the dinner I am about to attempt.... excuse me while I go put Domino's on speed dial and think of some lovey dovey metaphor for this crappy dessert....this cake represents our marriage not always perfect but still tas...
