(1) Whew. What a week. I turned 30 on Tuesday. That was pretty epic. Well, not turning 30 exactly, but my birthday fun generally. :) My friends and family surprised me (like seriously surprised me) with an amazing party on Saturday. It was so great. The only bad part was that I didn't have nearly enough time to visit with everyone.
My crazy-awesome sister in law volunteered to host this party, which was pretty awesome in and of itself, but she also decorated in a Harry Potter theme! I don't have any good photos (I was too busy talking to take pictures!) but I hope to have some coming. In the photo below, you can see me with both of Mark's sisters in the "Forbidden Forrest". :)
(yes, that's a super-happy face)
(2) Tomorrow is Veteran's Day. I truly believe this is a wonderful day and that veterans should be honored for their incredible commitment and sacrifice. However, I am rather excited because I have the day off work. Yay for government employment! I am going to celebrate by having some lab work done. (Boooo!) And going for a run that exceeds 3 miles (yay!)
(3) Speaking of running, still feeling in a bit of a rut. When I get out there, 90% of the time I am loving it (some runs just feel a bit ick, so there's your 10%). But with the weather getting worse and the days getting shorter and darker, I am really struggling with keeping running as a priority. :( This has got to change, especially with the holidays coming. I am seriously considering picking a race soon that I would have to start training for. I just still think I need that kind of motivation right now... But I don't feel like paying for another race. Bah.
On the upside, the cooler temps have definitely pushed me to run faster. I really need to continue to work on my speed. It would make training for a half marathon a whole lot easier if 13 miles took me less than 2.5 hours to run. :)
