The Running Woman

Happy Halloween!!!

We are off to celebrate our 1 year anniversary for the weekend!!

Hope everyone has a fabulous candy-filled day!!

Don't forget to burn off some of those calories running!

I had waaaaay too much to drink last night and I am running a 5K this morning. This should be, in a word, interesting.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Halloween:) If you think of it, pray or send some positive thoughts our way. We have 2 showings today and one of them looks like it will turn into an offer...

Today is a rest day, and I'm going to TRY TRY TRY to not overeat!! My mom is hosting a party tonight and she's been cooking like a fool all week, so it's going to be rough.

I have to share this with you all: last night I was heading out for my last run of October (made 90 miles!), after DD1 was in bed but DS4 was still up. He came over and said, "Can I run with you?" OMG, it totally melted my heart. Is 5 old enough to start working on 1 mile fun runs? Maybe next summer he can!!

Also, I wasn't really focusing on any pace or anything, but after about 20 minutes started going faster because it felt good. Since it was dark, it was harder to check my Garmin. Anyway, I got the 6.2 miles in 62 minutes (1:01:52 to be exact)!! I'm so excited to know I will set a sub-hour 10K PR next spring!!!

Maria - Happy House Selling vibes!!!! Maybe someone will be more likely to bite today so they can say they did it on Halloween!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I too, had a little too much to drink last night, which I hardly ever do, but the extra glass of wine with the pasta sounded too good...and that turned into practically the whole bottle.  I hadn't planned on running in the morning today anyways, since I have a hair appt at 10, I would have had to rush.  So, after the hair appt, and rehydrating, I'm going to hit the trail.  If I still feel crummy, I'll just do my run tomorrow since I don't have anything planned at all, and hit the bike tonight.

Sometime today, I'm gonna head to the store to get candy, and stuff to make cookies.  I feel like baking. =)

Maria - lol, have fun at the race! I hope you get a taker on the house.

Julie - So CUTE about DS! I think a mile next year here and there would be okay. 

Karla - UGH, I'm definitely planning on burning the extra calories I'm taking in this weekend.  I never let myself over eat or indulge, so I do enjoy these types of weekends. =)

Have a great day ladies!

Hey, can i get on the "i had a bit to drink last night" train with the rest of you? hehe. I went to dinner w/ the man and then i met up with one of my best running friends from HS. i hadn't seen her in years. we met her & her boyfriend at a local bar and as we caught up (and the boys just sat there), the drinks just went down easy. ha.

So, today i'm gonna try to get some new running shoes & do a long run in them. I'm gonna aim for 8, i think. 10 if i feel ambitious. turkey day is getting closer and i gotta start some kind of training. Also, i'm gonna start weight watchers again on monday to drop a good 15 lbs.

Tonight i'll be hangin' with the man again. My (ex?) bff has now deleted me off of her FB so i guess she's still mad. ridiculous. and i'll pick up the kids around 12 tomorrow. off to my day of freedom...
