I'm silly.

So, I started Hal Higdon's novice half marathon training yesterday. Today was supposed to be a 3 mile run. Hubby isn't a runner, so he decided to go to the gym and we were going to meet back at home. Well, while doing my warm up walk (with the dog--his name is Duke), I realized that I didn't bring my house keys! Thank goodness I brought my cell...so I called Sean (hubby) and told him the situation. Instead of following the route I had planned, I decided to jog to the gym! It. ended up being around 2.4 miles, but I was really proud of myself for doing that in 35 minutes (and that's including my 5 minute warm up walk and some walking in the middle due to a stitch in my side). Anywho, that's my silly story for the day.

I voted this AM, the line wasn't too bad. It's amazing that this day is already here. We're making history, people! I used my "I Voted" sticker at a spy store to get a free pepper spray and at Ben & Jerry's for free ice cream (well, I had sorbet--only 2 points in a serving!). I'm happy that the country is encouraging people to vote.

Weigh in is this saturday. I'm nervous, because I'm so close to goal! I really want to hit that mark. I'm only 1 pound away as of last saturday. Just need to keep up on my eating habits and exercise. I'll be trying some new recipes this week, so stay tuned for any good reccomendations.

That is a funny story, but at least you got your run in, good for you! Don't be nervous about weigh in....if you don't get there this week, you'll do it next week. Keep on doing the right things and it will come!
