Saturday: After happy hour at Dogfish the night before, Scott and I headed to Frederick to hang with my sister and brother-in-law. Scott and Ben played racquetball while Meg and I ran around Baker Park. We did our 3 miles in 33:21 (according to my watch, about 32:00 on Meg's watch).
Sunday: Meg and I attempted the sprints. Well we started with the .25 jog, .25 sprint, .25 jog then it happened, the athletic clothes malfunction. My biggest issue with running is bad running shorts. I can say that when I got home I threw them out! Saving up money to buy all new cold gear clothes! We finished with a mile walk then a .25 mile jog.
Monday: Yoga/stretching
Tuesday: 2 Mile run - 19:45
Wednesday (Today): 2 Mile run - 20:32
Tomorrow after work, Scott and I are going to run 3 Miles then get all dolled up and head out to Growlers. A band that I like is playing and I want Scott to see them. 19th Street Band, if you're curious!

Wuuuzzzzzz upppppppp?
Yes, my tongue was out wagging.
Last week I started running again and this week marked the official 26 week work out plan for the 1/2 marathon.
Monday - I did Yoga, Biggest Loser Weight Loss Yoga. If I gain anything from this, it will be to do a plank. This way next time I am in a challenging drinking game of "Kings" and the Ace "waterfall" is replaced by holding a plank, I'm be able to hold my own!
Tuesday - 2 Mile run. I knocked this out in the morning because I had plans to go to my cousin's volleyball game in the evening. I stuck to a 5.5 mph pace and was done in about 22 minutes.
Wednesday - 2 Mile run. I really wanted to get this run over with because I had waited until 7:45 to run. I put the treadmill on 6.0 mph and finished in 20:10.
Thursday - 3 Mile run. Scott and I laced up our sneaks and headed out for a 3 mile run that my sister and I had walked on Sunday (while our male counterparts indulged in football and beer). I'm really proud of this run because I never felt winded and there were a few inclines. We started off the run at an 8:30 pace - kinda what happens when the adrenaline kicks. We finished in 33 minutes; thank you Nike+ GPS for being awesome!
Friday (Today) - I woke up and did my 6 mile bike ride (at the gym). I did the hill profile at a level 4 never pedaling below 102 RPMs. I finished in 19:40.
Now off to Happy Hour after work with my friend Deena. I've already checked out the menu and am in for the Chesapeake Pizza and Punkin Ale :)
This weekend I have a 3 mile run on Saturday and sprints on Sunday. Scott and I are gonna experiment with easy weightlifting because the scale hasn't been budging. I was at 157 before the beach and now the scale won't leave 164 -- for the last 2 weeks. I can only draw conclusions that I have been drinking more (socially, of course) than I was during the summer. I'm going to be mindful of the liquid calories.
Also, I've created a budget for myself until the end of the year. One that sees my checking and savings account increasing! I really enjoyed creating the calendar and was oddly sad when I reached December. I am vowing to stick to the plan until December and then re-evaluate for the start of the year when I start paying off my student loan.
Sunday is Dad's birthday :) Happy 52nd, glad we made it!

Cue Staind ... "it's been awhile"
Hi! I'm here! Just been busy!
Quick recap:
1. My Sco came home
2. My sister got married
3. My tan is back (a little)
4. My training plan for the half has started
So Monday Scott and I took off work. Ran some errands and ran on the treadmill. I haven't run since July, so I was rather proud of myself for doing 2 miles, even if they were at an 11 minute pace. Yesterday, after a long 7 am - 5 pm workday, Scott and I went for a run outside. Goal 2 miles; actual distance 1.83. He tells me it was good considering the hills and humidity. His positivity can be disgusting sometimes :) Just kidding!
