Getting Ready

First day running in 8 days.  I felt like a newbie at first.  I was stiff and felt like it'd been a lot longer of a break.  Why does being sick knock you back so hard?!  Next week I know I'm going to have a little bit of a delay again because medical issues, so this week I'm going to kick my own a$$ in the running arena.  Anyway, I made Matt run with me which helped me to push myself a little harder.  We made it just over 3 miles (with our Starbucks stop).  I love stopping into the coffee shop, it's like we have out own little cheering squad :D 


I also have a running partner for the You Go Girl half marathon!  My sister is going to run with me, which makes me super happy!  Now if I could just convince my little sister to join, this would be even more legendary.  Next week is also the  Jelly Bean virtual race which Matt and I will be participating in.  This will be a challenge because I've never done a race without all of the ropes and groups and what-not.  I'm pretty excited.  Hopefully I'm feeling up to it :0

So this last weekend I got to spend with some very important people in my life.  My dad made an Irish dinner for us so we met up at his house with one of my sisters, her husband, and my oh-so-adorable nephew.    Needless to say, he has his Aunt Di Di wrapped quite tight around all of his little fingers.  I had such a great time seeing my family.


Well, I'm going to sign off and get ready for work.  It feels good to be back.
