Bad Blogger

Today was such a fun day! However, I was a very bad blogger and didn't take pictures of half of it.  Well it started out bright and early.  Matt and I got up around 7:30 today and grabbed a small bite to eat before heading to campus for a run.  I ate a banana with peanut butter and craisins on top, my version of ants on a log.  When Matt and I got to campus, I felt like...nature was calling, if you know what I mean.  I had planned to stop at one of the student centers along the way, but they were both locked! WTF.  So I ended up holding it the whole way which was not so much fun.  Today I finished 5.5 miles.

It was an ok run.  I tried out my new water belt since the last long run I did I almost died from the heat.

Pretty much the coolest person ever I know.  It has two water bottles on it and a little area that fits my keys.  I wasn't a big fan of running with it at first because it sloshes, but by the end of the run I kind of got used to it. It's going to be necessary for this summer though. Matt also ran 5.5 miles, about 10 minutes faster than me because he's awesome like that

hahah

After our run we were both starving. I ate a greek yogurt with some granolla and some protein bar when we got home.  Then at noon we were off to lums pond for a bbq with some friends....and no pictures. Sorry!

We got home from the bbq at 5pm and did some cleaning until we got hungry. I just made a quick salad for dinner and had half a KIND bar with it because I wasn't too hungry.

Spinach, carrots, green beans, celery, tuna, black beans, sliced cherries

I got an email that our grocery store had fresh cherries and I was so excited I went out and got a big bag of them.  I love them, but I hate their pits.  I told Matt that I'm going to engineer a pitless  cherry so that we can be rich and  travel the world!! 

After dinner, Matt and I really couldn't decide what we wanted to do.  We both knew that if we just stayed in the house all night we would both go stir crazy.  We took Champ for a walk and then decided to set up our fire pit that we got for our wedding.

Tomorrow I'm hoping to go to the gym for a strength workout and then we are taking my mom and dad to a local vineyard for father's day!



Spontaneous 5k and Carpal Tunnel

Hey everyone! Matt and I started off our weekend with a great dinner at a local korean place with friends last night. I wanted to try something new so I ordered the a type of Jigae or hot stew. It had seafood, tofu and veggies in it and was served piping hot with a side of rice.

This soup was actually boiling when they gave it to me, and being the impatient person that I am I attempted to eat it a few seconds post picture. I managed to burn my tongue pretty good.

You also get a bunch of sides to share with the table for free. LOVE.  There was this thing I really liked that I had no idea what it was. We asked the woman and apparently it's their version of a "seafood hotdog"....should have never asked haha.

So last night when I got home from work Matt goes, so I'm thinking about running a 5k tomorrow. I looked at him like he was crazy because we just ran one and the weather was not supposed to be so nice.  Well wouldn't you know I woke up this morning and told Matt I was in.  It was in the 40s, windy and overcast when we left for the race. I went into the race just wanting to take it easy. I was not looking for a sub 26 again.

Waiting inside for the race to start.

It was a small race, only about 100 people which I liked.  I started out at an easy pace finishing my first mile in about 8:45.  I passed the second mile mark at 17:15 and finished my 5k in 26.20.  It's crazy for me to think back just six months ago when a time in the 26's was really challenging for me to get, and now I felt like I was cruising finishing in this time!!  Matt once again kicked my ass and finished in 20.39!!

And then we found out...

We both placed! I got third in my age group and Matt got first!

The rest of my day has been spent doing one of the most mundane activities ever...

addressing wedding invitations. YUCK.  I'm sipping on some coffee right now b/c this activity is literally putting me to sleep. I've finished a little over half and I think I'll save the rest for tomorrow, just as long as I get them out by Monday!

Shoot I look tired. Hope I pep up by tonight! Matt and I are headed out to watch the final 4 with some new friends!!

Champ is not too happy about this (don't worry he's not being mean, he just has an underbite so his bottom teeth get stuck on his upper lip a lot haha)
