It has been a busy last week. I worked all of last week, and my running suffered a little.The weather also did not help the situation. I only managed to run once last week. It was a very good run, but I missed running the rest of the week. I can’t believe that I am saying that I miss running, I would have never said that a year ago. We also had a fun filled weekend of birthdays and going away parties. Today was very very rainy and yucky. So I ran some errands, and cleaned the house. Now that the inside of the house has had a deep clean, now it is time for the garage and the yard. John and I are spending all of this Saturday working on the lawn. Weeding it, fertilizing it, and mowing…Yay!! I want to buy some big half barrels to plant flowers in for the front yard, and to also start on my garden. The weather is supposed to get much better by the end of the week. So here is hoping that we will have sun for all our yard endeavors. I will post pictures of the yard, flowers, and garden as soon as they are picture worthy. I am also getting really excited because I farm share is coming in in about two weeks. Then we go and pick it up from the farmer’s market every week. I think it is going to be a lot of fun not knowing what we are going to get. I know that it will make me more creative in the kitchen for sure! Well that is about it recently. Oh yeah, I used my elliptical today. It was interesting to use it instead of running. I was on it for 45 minutes. It was a good workout, but definitely much easier than running. I am very happy I have it for rainy days.

I am still running and running. My last few runs have been fast 2 milers, and today I did a 3 miler and managed to cut 2 minutes off my pace since I first started running about 2 weeks ago! It felt so great to run today, the weather was spectacular, a sunny 65 degrees. I am working full time all week, and I am excited. I like the shift that I am doing, and it feels good to get out of the house. However, I am still so glad that I am a sub, and that next week I won’t be working and I can get started on planting herbs and a garden…yay!! John has been wonderful. Busy with work and masters stuff, but still managing to cross train with biking and running. Can I say it again how much I love that I don’t have a sedentary husband! On a side note this evening we picked up our new living room chairs that I am so excited about, and are the reason that I have picked up some shifts at work to pay for. John loves them and so do I! Another side note, the grill got its first test run for the near summer. John grilled steaks, and I made yams and brussel sprouts…yum! Love you guys!
