Exciting Day

Monday are not usually my favorite days, but today was an exciting one....for two reasons. Matt and I booked our plane tickets to Norfolk, VA on July 19th to go down for part of my family's anual beach vacation in OBX!  We didn't think we would be able to make it because of all the time we took off for the wedding/honeymoon, but we are only taking 1.5 days off from work this way, so it's not so bad! We've been going to the beach together since before I was born, and couldn't think of missing another year (I missed one the first summer I started my job).

Matt and I also officially signed up for the Philadelphi Rock N' Roll Half Marthon on September 16th!

I know we just signed up, but I'm already nervous! We had to put in an estimated finish time and I put 2:10.  I'm hoping that's manageable. 

This is the training plan that I'm looking at right now.  It's a 12 week plan that I will start next week.  I'm going to switch my rest days to Wednesday and Friday because of volleyball and I'm going to add some strength training in at least 2 times per week.  I'm hoping I can stick to this plan, shuffling things around a little bit to fit my schedule.
