Baked apples and doing all the things!

I had a real life Amy Poehler moment. Someone asked me where I got my pants, and I got to say "Old Navy!". And they were all "no way!" and I was all "uh, yeah. I know!" Totally legit convo right there.


Ok, that was yesterday, and today is today. Tuesday actually. I'm here, I'm tired, I'm hungry.

Run report

Monday night: 2.5 miles 23:54. Sweaty and miserable
Tuesday morning: 2 miles 23:06. Sweaty and miserable.

I'm running regularly. Not fast, but on the reg. See, I can stick to my plan...if everyone is watching and holding me accountable. And judging. Judging helps me to do what I say I will. Keep it up!

Doing these things!


You know what? I did a lot over the weekend, but there isn't much photographic evidence of it. You know I like to keep you in the dark. Or maybe I forget to take pictures of things. Something like that.

Friday night I had a partner in the kitchen for a few hours. This makes my heart so happy. I love to cook, but I don't love to do it alone. To have the kitchen alive with laughter, and good smells...oh what a happy girl I am.

I made dinner, while he made dessert. Epic. Dessert. How many of you know that I've never been fond of cooked apples? And how many of you know about me and vanilla ice cream? Well, I had both. Twice. And then some more the next day.

I KNOW it was amazing.  I was so in love with it because he made it, so that helped; but really, it has to be amazing for me to eat baked apples AND vanilla ice cream.

Upside down apple torte made in an iron skillet. By a man. In my kitchen. On a Friday. ....what could be better than that?

Saturday we did a little work function BBQ, then walked around the Autumn Fest. After sweating for a few hours we cooled off in Old Navy, hence the amazing aforementioned plaid pants.

A solid 3 hour nap ....mmmm... and then we watched The Last Samurai.

That's how I ended up being awake until 3am. Once the movie was over and he headed out, what was I to do? Cereal, Friends, and hair braiding. Duh.

Sunday we made a quick trip to the outlet mall so I could find yet another gown. Oh yes, I found one. :) I love gowns. I'll share a photo after I wear it. My daily hair wouldn't do it justice.

I have some co-garden pics to share later this week, and hopefully more running!

What did you do all weekend?

That Dam 5k

Image
I found out yesterday that there is a 5k coming up in my area. The 'That Dam Lake Texoma 5k" is on 11/17. I feel like physically I am prepared for it, but gear-ly I am not. I still haven't bit it and bought new shoes. I won't need special shorts, shirts, socks, belts, sleeves, hats, etc. as a 5k doesn't require much fanciness. I need shoes, but first, I need the funds. Le sigh. This isn't a cry out for money, it's more like a cry out for someone to convince me to spend my money. I haven't spent that much on a pair of shoes in years. I became a frugal fanatic and push all belongings to the limit. Help! Last night I was back on the 'mill. Not defeated quite as early, but about 1.7 miles in I hit my wall. How silly! I pushed pushed pushed, and made it to 3.1 in just under 39 mins. S       L        O      W. I need to stop being so hard on myself, but if I'm not, how will I get better?! When I got home I started dinner. In a pinch I always make

Race Recap

You may have seen my mini post on Saturday about my dismal race. I do hate being negative, but I was really unhappy with my performance. The breathing problems, the stumbling, the walking, the dramatics....I was a total mess. Today I want to show you all the awesome stuff leading up to the race! Muscle time!!! Making shirts for the race. Team 'Run Free: peace.love.run' in the house! Gear ready for the race. Nike tennis skirt (bad choice by the way. Rides all up in the wrong places), team shirt (Wal-mart), Brooks Ravenna 4.  (not pictured, SPI-belt)  We were so ready to go!! All smiles. M ran the race pushing her daughter, and not in a little jogging stroller, but in the fully enclosed bike trailer/stroller! And she beat me! Grrr. She was awesome! She said she was a little stoked that she beat me too. She should be. We aren't racing each other, but a W is a W. Made a shirt for her little girl. This is the back. Awwww.  Barking dogs afterwar

Boomer Sooner and the lame mile

Image
Friday night I had a horrible headache so I didn't run. I thought for a second that running may beat it out of me, but I'm glad I didn't try. The people at the gym may not like me enough to clean up after me if I barf on the 'mill. Chelsea, Aaron, me, and J Saturday I had free tickets to the OU game, so of course I went. I overslept til 9am when there came a knockin' at my door. It was myfriends there to pick us up! I had time to get ready, but no run time. We didn't get back home until 10.30pm, so no running then either! BOOMER SOONER!!! (side note: bossman saw this and said it's sad if that is the best pair of jeans I have. Yes, yes it is...) Sunday I finally got out on the road after church. Now, I've heard you are supposed to take time off from running to recover, but I had 2 days off and almost died! It seems over my start to running that time off = bad run for me. If I were a big-time runner like some of the ladies whose blogs I
