Catching up!

Friday night Arturo and I had a date night! Arturo surprised me with tulips. He is so sweet, I am such a lucky girl!



Arturo also brought me home this chair for my Valentines present! Isn't cool?! He got the chair from the cow/calf unit. His bosses picked it up on the side of the road, and it has been sitting out there for a while. I spotted it and Arturo asked if we could have it and lo in behold, it is sitting in our garage waiting to be recovered! Once I get it recovered, I am going to put it in the corner on the left side of the fire place. I just have to find the right fabric and someone to recover it. Once I get it done I will share before and after pictures.



Running - Well I got through my six on Sunday! Yea! My legs did well, but by about 9:00 that evening I could barely hold my eyes open. It wore me out! I did run four this morning, and plan to run four on Thursday, three on Friday and I am going to try to run eight on Saturday. Wish me luck.

Arutro is enjoying his Spring Break, he gets to just work and not have to go to class. He is doing some studying to try to stay on top of the game.

I hope you all have a great week and I promise to keep you updated on this weeks runs and the weekend happenings!

Training - Week Three

I know, I know...I have been slow on blogging about my running this week. Unfortunately, I have not gotten all my millage in this week. :( I did run three on Tuesday and Three this morning and Sunday I plan to run six. However, I was suppose to get another four in. I have had a bit of congestion and it has been pretty cold here this week, so I slacked a little. I will make it though. I also learned that a friend of mine is getting married on the Saturday before my 1/2 marathon on Sunday, so I guess I will have to find another race. A wedding is way more fun than a 13 mile run! I am still training though, I really want to see if I can do the millage. I will probably run a 1/2 sometime in the fall.

Have a great weekend everyone!

What a great weekend!

Hey everyone! I hope you all had as good as weekend as we did! Our weekend was so relaxing. On Saturday, Arturo made homemade pasta with a Bolognese sauce. The sauce was made with some our tomatos that we canned this past summer. With our lovely dinner we also had a great salad and some yummy bread and of course some red wine!

Wanted to share a picture of our dinner!



Tonight we had some ribs, beans and coleslaw! It was delicious as well! I am so glad I have a husband that likes to cook!

I also ran five miles this weekend and the old shines feel pretty good! This week I have to run three, four, three, six!

Have a great week everyone!

Training - Week Two, Day Three

Good morning all!

I ran four miles this morning at five AM. That is right I got myself out of bed at 4:30 to go run. Crazy, huh? The only reason for this madness is the Little Apple Road Runners Group...there is a Friday Morning "Brew Crew" run. After the run we all go to Starbucks and have a cup of coffee, before we start our Friday. The coffee is so worth getting up at 4:30!

Have a wonderful Friday!

Training - Week Two, Day Two

Hello all!

This morning I got in four miles, with no pain! YEAH! I bought me a new pair of running shoes yesterday, and think that has been my problem all along. Thanks to the Manhattan Running Company, I learned I roll my ankles in when I run, so therefore it puts pressure on my shins and knees. Which in turn makes them hurt like crazy! I got me a shoe with support to help correct that and my legs felt GREAT on my morning run. Thanks Manhattan Running Company!

Have a good day everyone!

Training - Week Two, Day One

This morning I got up and headed to the gym to run on the treadmill, only because it was like 11 degrees this morning. Way too cold to run by yourself! I was suppose to get in three miles today, but unfortunately my shins killed me. I could only get through two miles. They hurt soooo bad! I am headed to get some new shoes this week...let's hope that fixes the problem.

Have a great day everyone!

Man, Fourth Post in One Day!

Ok, I will not bore you with much more, but I wanted to share a couple more pictures.

Our precious niece in her new sweater, that I made, and my boots! She loves other people's shoes!


Now she is running around with a roll of ribbon! She was so much fun this Christmas.


Our silly puppies watching the guys tear up the kitchen!


I also ran four miles today! I have to run three tomorrow, four on Wednesday, three on Friday and five this weekend! Wish me luck!

Have a great week everyone!
