Working towards 34 miles this week...

So far this week, I've logged 22 miles and am hoping to add 12 on Saturday to make it 34 miles. I did 10 on Sunday, 6.5 on Tuesday and 5.5 today. I'm pretty happy with my mileage; although, I could be happier with my pace. I'll get there.

Today was about 33 degrees and icy. Deb and I ran around 5:30, so it was dark and hard to navigate through the poorly lit and poorly shoveled route we took. It wasn't bad, although our run was REALLY slow considering all our obstacles. I plan to rest tomorrow or do something light on the elliptical at the gym to get my legs moving without the heavy pounding. Hopefully that will leave me nice and rested for my long run on Saturday! Wish me luck :)

Happy New Year!!

I hope everyone had a restful holiday like mine! I was in Key West soaking up the sun and lounging by the pool. It was a very unorthodox Christmas...but SO great. I highly recommend trying it one year :) So there is a lot to say about my vacation, so here are the highlights:

1. I discovered my love for key lime pie...mmmm...just thinking about it makes my mouth water. (apparently I am hungry since that is my #1)
2. I snorkeled with a shark.
3. I got a new book!!!! I'm 300 pages into it; it's a Margaret George book about Henry the VIII.
4. I drank margaritas.
5. I ate delicious, fresh fish almost every night...all cooked by David of course
6. I relaxed by the pool every day.
7. I got engaged!!!! (this is really my ultimate highlight...I just put it down here to make sure you kept reading!)
8. I saw Ernest Hemingway's house.
9. I got tan.
10. I watched the sunrise on the beach one morning with David.

Those are my top 10 highlights~

I gotta run...literally. I am off to do a short 5 miles or so with Deb. Cross your fingers that my blisters don't get worse. Oh I forgot to update about my insane blisters. Stay tuned!!!
