Crooked

A while back I purchased a candle holder from Yankee Candle Co. It was very pretty holding 11 tea light candles. Upon lighting it up for it's trial dinner I noticed one of those candles was welded on crooked. It bothered me a little but I tried to let it go, and used it a few more times. In the end it was way too crooked and I just could not use it any more.

I had been meaning to go back to the store to exchange the item but just never made it in that direction. After a few weeks it got buried on my to do list and was forgotten.

Last weekend I treated myself to a Chipolte Burrito and the store was 2 doors over, I mentally kicked myself and moved it back to the top of my list.

This weekend it was finally accomplished. I even called ahead to keep myself from wasting a trip (I was not going that way unless they had this item). I now have a pretty and strait candelabra. Just enough of an accomplishment to make up for my lack of a bike ride.

14

Today was my longest run by far, 14 miles. It is a little daunting thinking of the training I will be doing for the Marathon. this 14 mile run took me approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes. I think I will be running all day to accomplish the long runs for the marathon.

My worries aside I am starting to look forward to the half Marathon again. I will definitely be taking a week or so off to relax and figure out what parts of my training plan worked and what I am going to change going into the Marathon training plan. But that is a worry for another day.

Today I am going to relax a little. (and do laundry).

7 weeks 2 days

In 7 weeks and 2 days I will be running my first half marathon. 2 weeks ago I caught a horriable cold from pat and took the week off of running (and everything else that did not involve sleep or work). Last week was a slow and painful.

This week my mileage is back to where it should be, albit SLOW. Realizing today that it was only 7 weeks away and my training went from running like I was on top of the world to slugging along over a week and a half is a little daunting. The plan is in place and I am back to following it but a doubtful voice that didn't exist before today is setteling in the back of my mind.

Hopefully saturday's long (but slow) run will quiet it untill after the half, when my sights are set on a marathon.

Stoffers Pizza

I had forgotten how good the stoffers frozen french bread pizza's are. They went on sale and this week both Pat and I agreed they were top notch comfert food. I get teh cheese and add additional toppings, Pat gets the meat pizza's and we have the perfect dinner.

Lucky for us they were on sale, we now have a freezerfull!

Between that and the chocolate chip cookie dough, My brain may be happy but the rest of me wishes we owned a scale.

That may be a purchase for the coming weekend.
