This past week has been quite eventful and quite stressful to be honest. Lots of things have happened but I’ve managed to stay focused on the task at hand with the help of my adoring husband and try to remind myself that everything happens for a reason. Enough about that though … let’s talk about the exciting stuff, shall we?

Life:
Yesterday G-Man and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary! Actually, we celebrated this weekend by having a low key weekend together and going out for a nice dinner. We indulged, enjoyed our time together and left feeling way to full. I am so lucky and blessed to have the.best.husband.ever. He really is a dream come true. He is my best friend, supporter and the love of my life. I can’t wait to see what the next twenty years have in store for us. Feliz aniversario mi vida!

The other day I went to the states with my parents. It had been awhile, so obviously I was excited…..excited to eat at the Olive Garden’s that is. Unlimited salad and breadsticks? yes, please. 

We left early in the morning and it was just beautiful out. I had a really nice day with my parents. Of course we picked up some Chobani. I still haven’t been to any of the stores that carry it here in Canada but either way I figured it would be cheaper in the States and wanted to stock up while I had the chance.

RUNNING:
I guess running is part of my life, right? Anyways… I have been getting some good runs in and feeling pretty good about them. Friday we had a major snow storm. It was freezing cold (-15) but I managed to get a 16.76km (1:23) run in Saturday morning.  I’ll definitely look forward to my long runs every week because I’m going to run them with the Runner’s Edge crew and I loved training with them last year.  Before our runs, we stretch a bit at the store, run about 1.5 km and then stretch a little bit more… well once I got to the meeting point, I realized I forgot my water belt. Knowing that I would definitely need it, I ran back to the store to get it. So the first part of my run was slow and I was by myself although, I didn’t mind. At the turn around point, I caught up to another runner who I love running with. She ran ATB last year and she’s FAST. She always keeps her pace consistent which I suck at. Anyways, I ran the second part with her. It was a good challenge and felt great to fly along with her. If I had my camera I would have taken a video because my face was completely frozen. It was difficult to speak and when I did it felt like I was slurring my words or had just left the dentists office. It was COLD!
Yesterday, I planned to run a fartlek workout but was unsuccessful. It was just too icy out. I did get a run in but had to walk often over icy patches. It’s not worth taking the chance of falling. I realized afterwards that I should have hit up the treadmill at the gym instead. Owell.. we live and learn, right.

I have actually missed blogging lately and of course my blogging friends [that means YOU!]. I’m hoping to blog more consistently from now on but we’ll see how that goes.
