Opps a couple of more weeks flew by!

Its been 2 weeks since I have hit up the blogger but finally I am sitting down to post!  The floorset went fine.  I was even able to stay awake until 4am without whining! 
Other things going on include going to Dance, Dance and Zumba at UA with Jessica!  Those classes are a hoot.  I of course would rather kill time ticking away miles on the treadmill but I do enjoy the different workouts. 
This week was a good one work wise since it was Thanksgiving making a nice 3 day work week!  On Turkey day morning Cable Guy and I took off to Dublin to run the Flying Feather.  This was our 2nd time running this race and I really enjoyed it more so this year.  You get a nice tech long sleeve shirt and a bottle of wine at the finish!  Last year I hadn't ran but a few miles since the half and was feeling completely worn down and burnt out.  I finished in 2010 in 43:00.  CG finished in 43:53 so at least I had beat him.  It took me a few more 4miler tries to beat it due to one 4miler being on the hottest day EVER.   I had no idea how I would be feeling for this race but I was just going to enjoy it.
Last year CG took off at the start of the race and if it had been a 2mile race he would have smoked me.  This year he pulled back and I told him I would keep our pace at 10min miles.  I was quite happy to realize I could have been going at a quicker pace.  Around mile 2 I checked in with CG and while he asked me to stay back and run with him, he also would like me to not keep talking or he would punch me :].  Side note...the last time CG ran was last year on TG.   He was such a trooper.  Around mile 3 I started to pull away a little and had my final mile be by far my quickest.

This is actually from 2010 but I had on the exact same outfit so it will work :]
Thanksgiving was a great treat after a nice burn from the run.  My grandma Jones and my mom came over to my place and we had all the fixings!  I then spent black Friday at the mall, not shopping but working at AE.  I worked from 7-5.  Yeah that is more hours than I put in at my real job!  But it wasn't too bad.  I was stocking the floor and running items from the back room the entire day. 
Now I am needing to pack up my fall decor for my winter/Christmas ones!  But I also need to finish up some arts and crafts too! 
Tomorrow should be busy of fun stuff.  Arts and crafts will be done and some laundry!  And a trip to the gym.  I was hoping to go when the Bengals game was on but I just realized that I think the game is blacked out.  Annoying. 

3 things to get done!
3. Laundry!  My pile is about waist high!
2. Christmas wreath.  This one is yarn with felt flowers.  I just cant make up my mind on it!
1. Go buy a usb cord for my Kindle fire!!

When will it fit it

I am guessing it will fit in when I make the time.  Make it a priority.  But right now I am trying to make working out a priority.  My friend Jess from work just joined my gym so its nice to have a workout pal.  The past 2 weeks I have been able to make it to the gym/run 5 times each week!  And this past week I went to iron on Tues, Wed and Sat! 
So while I want to keep this journal/blog up I think once I settle into the working out plan I can safely learn to add in to my day. 
And so maybe so catch up for the past what 3 weeks?! yikes.
Nah lets just move on.
Today I had a nice Saturday breakfast of eggs and turkey bacon with a piece of toast from last weeks home made loaf of bread.  After some couch time I hit the gym.  It is member appreciation month at the gym and today had something to do with pets.  I was about crazy because there were 2 Aussie Shepard there and I really had to control myself from grabbing them both to snuggle with for the rest of my life!  I want a pet so badly and CG is still anti inside dogs.  I don't know how on earth to change his mind but I really hope i manage if we move on in life.  After 45mins on the AMT I took the iron class with Kristi.  That chick is hard core and I worked up a sweat! 
Since then I have been completely lazy today in prep to do a floorset at AE tonight.  I have no idea how I will stay awake! 

3 snacks to help me stay awake
3. Beef jerky.  Yumm.
2. Clif bar.  A mojo and maybe a regular one too
1. Smoothie!  The bigger the better!
