I guess I sort of did my check in on Saturday, with my blog about my record 12 mile run. I am still so proud of what I accomplished. Sunday was ROUGH on my body. I did my best to eat healthy, but I have to confess I caved and ate a couple of girl scout cookies. I look at it as getting rid of the bad junk in the house, and as soon as they are gone I won’t replenish them. So really I was helping!

I iced and recooperated Sunday and Monday, and tonight I’ll be back at the gym again. I’m nervous to run on my sore legs, but if I don’t run now, I’m just going to fall behind in my training. I’m not nearly as nervous as I was about completing the half marathon, especially not if I can keep up the 10 minute mile times. I’m just so ready to be done, and moving on to the next workout routine. I can’t wait to do something other than run! Pilates, yoga, swimming, anything besides run.

Besides working out until my kneecaps just about fell off, I puttered around the house for the holiday weekend. I scrapbooked, I organized, I put pictures in frames. I know I know, I am the most exciting nearly 25 year old on the planet. Speaking of nearly 25, my 25th birthday is on the 14th, and I tried to think of what I wanted. Honestly, number 1 on my wish list is a house, but that’s still a little ways off. If I did own my own place, I’d probably be asking for Hansgrohe faucets, maybe some Ethan Allen furniture, and definitely new pots and pans. I am such an old lady when I daydream. So what did I tell my mom when she called asking what to get me? I asked for a new iron and ironing board. Because I’m THAT cool.
