Lazy Sunday

Since I completed my long run yesterday, I decided that I would take it easy today.  Hubby went off to a bowling tournament so I have been catching up on housework and resting these legs.
I had a little bit of a geek fest this morning.  I was up super early so I decided to watch Iron Man 3 and then moved on to Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness.  Now it's football time!!
I have also been working on my crocheting.  I had started an afghan a while ago but I tend to not work on any crocheting in the summer because it's too hot.  But now that it's getting cooler I can start working on it again!!
Happy Sunday all!!!

Running Update

So I have been severely lacking on my blogging!!

I have been busy training for the half marathon like crazy!!  Tomorrow will be my 11 mile run.  I can't even believe that I will be attempting it.  It will be the farthest that I have gone.  Ever.  It's unbelievable to me.  This has been a long journey for me and I can't believe that race day is almost here.

I also have some new running swag that I got this week.  I stopped buy my local running shop and picked up a new pair of running shoes.  I have always been a Nike girl but I thought that I should try something new.  I am so happy that I decided to go and speak to a professional.  I found out that I have been wearing the WRONG size shoe!!  Can you believe it??  I have been having some foot pain and had assumed that it was because I had increased my milage, but now I know it was because of my shoes.  By the way I ended up getting a pair of Brooks and I love them!!
I also put in an order on Sunday at running skirts.com.  I ended up getting a red athletic skirt, with white polka dots, and a pair of green compression socks.  They are so cute and I will be making more purchases from them.  I placed the order on Sunday and I received the package on Thursday.  Such fast shipping!


So wish me luck on the long run tomorrow!
