I felt like a "Springy" color was necessary and am quite pleased with the results.
Sorry you have to look at my feet.

Spring Toes
I had a much needed pedicure last night...and of course a date with my very favorite running buddy/neighbor/pal made it even better. Me with my bum leg and her recovering from surgery...quite the pair.

Monday Smunday
Happy Monday! (just kidding)
The rest of my weekend was quite lovely. I ran 5 miles (hurt a bit at 4.5), enjoyed our little cabin and the cold weather, drove back home in time for a perfect Happy Hour with the hubs and homemade grilled pizza. It was the perfect ending to our weekend. My husband is totally right, I have a bigass head.
I am a horrible blogger and didn't take pics of the pizza, but it was beeeeutiful.
Foodwise I did pretty good for the weekend. That's usually when I lose my shit and eat anything I want, and/or in site (OK not always) so I was proud of myself for maintaining some self control.
After talking to some running friends, I decided to take this week off running as well and give myself more time to heal. I will be cross training on my bike trainer and bodyrocking so I don't go nuts. I ordered my old Brooks shoe last night, which a few people said is probably my main issue. I REALLY hope that's true. I'm sorry I keep talking about this issue so much as I would MUCH rather be bragging about my amazing 15 mile run I was supposed to have this weekend, but hey, life is just that way sometimes. I'm still on the fence about the 15k race I have scheduled for Sunday...thoughts?
In more exciting news, I finally broke down and bought my first item from Lululemon last week, I just couldn't help it. I went for these shorts and am in LOVE...the prices are ridiculous, but for a pair of shorts I'll wear often I only feel a tiny bit bad.
Speaking of shopping, I am challenging myself this month and will NOT be buying anything for the whole month...my new running shoes last night don't count, obviously. No shoes, no t-shirts, no running clothes or earrings. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. My closet is full and I even have things that still have tags, it's ridiculous. My good friend did this challenge last month and was successful, so I'm going to copy her and go for it.
Wish me luck.

A Week Off
Last Saturday, I told myself I would take a week off running to give my IT band some must needed R&R...and I have. No running all week. It's been quite bizarre actually.
Unfortunately I'm much too hyper and spastic to not do anything so I have kept myself entertained by doing other stuff...and by telling myself it's OK to take a few days off.
Here's my sad sad little week so far:
Sunday - 3.5 mile beach cruise with the hubs, 2 mile dog walk (does that count?)
Monday - Nothing
Tuesday - Nothing
Wednesday - 35 min bike intervals + bodyrock
Thursday - bodyrock
Friday - so sore I can't walk
I'm hoping to run today. I had 15 delicious miles on my training plan for this weekend, but that would obviously be stupid, so I'm going to do a shorter run and see how I feel. As the OC Marathon gets closer, I get more worried that I am going to suck and die at mile 18. Hopefully I heal up and can get movin soon. Like tomorrow.
Perks of working out at home:
THIS needs to stop...
I've put myself on a diet...OK, not a diet but have given myself a few rules.
That's it for now...wish me luck on my run!

Perks of working out at home:
- Not matching my clothes
- Not wearing a shirt
- Looking hideous and ridiculous and not caring
- Watching Glee and singing out loud while on trainer
THIS needs to stop...

I've put myself on a diet...OK, not a diet but have given myself a few rules.
- No weekday drinking (unless I have a work event, then 1 or 2 is OK)
- Cut back on sweets
That's it for now...wish me luck on my run!

I'm Boring
Yup. I just realized that I have eaten salads everyday so far for lunch. Even weirder that I took pictures.
I guess I like what I like. Maybe I'll be super "crazy" and mix it up today and have a sandwich.
On another boring-ish note, I clearly got bored with my attempt at my "7W2R" and have moved on to something else. Still not ripped. But I can barely walk today from my first attempt at Bodyrock.tv.
Solid.
