new happenings :)

i realize that it has been over a week since my last blog. this is just how things are sometimes. it goes for a while with nothing "blog worthy" then i will have a lot at once. the latter is what is happening now. there are a couple of things coming up in the next week that i will be blogging as well.
so this weekend a lot was going on...

• saturday, i ran in the morning. i haven't been running as much over the last few months. i picked it back up a couple of weeks ago. i have been working out. but since we have joined the gym, i haven't been running. i have still been doing cardio (and weights and pilates...) so i thought it wouldn't be that hard to pick back up. my first 30 min run back i thought i was going to die!! so i did a couple of light interval days to get back with it. and that worked pretty well because saturday was my first longer straight distance and i ran 2.9 miles (just what the course allowed) in 27 minutes... not too bad ;) i hope to run some more races in the near future.

• then we went to a pool birthday party. it was great! i have no pictures, so you can't see how fun it was. but trust me... fun times!

• a not so fun thing happened saturday evening. i got stood up for a photo session... more on that on my photo blog!
  

• sunday we did another no-tv sunday. it is going well. not as strict and stressful as the first weeks. the kids enjoy it :) we played candy land and took a walk/ bike ride.
