Finally, the end of the week!

I am very very very happy it is finally Friday.  This was a long week.  Even better, I think the weather is suppose to be fairly warm and mostly funny.  Aidyn and I are hoping to take her scooter out for a spin this weekend. 

Today was a good run.  4.5 miles, but it was a little cooler than I realized.  The shining sun was a bit deceiving. 

Time: 43:16
Distance: 4.5
Avg. Pace: 9:36 min./miles

I even picked a route that was kind of hilly.  I'm actually looking forward to my long run this weekend.  Should be 7 miles, but I may shoot for 8 if I'm feeling it.  I also made it to the gym tonight to lift, and despite my back giving me a little trouble today, I was able to go up in weight for a few things.  Today was much better than yesterday's massive flop of a workout.  It was chilly so I didn't want to go out and run, and Aidyn didn't want to go to the gym.  So, when she dozed off on the couch mid-afternoon, I slipped in my Jillian Michael's 6 Week Six Pack video in the hopes of getting in some kind of a workout.  Naturally, she woke up just after the warm-up part of the video and was mad because 1.) Scooby wasn't on 2.)She didn't have a snack in front of her.   After resolving both problems, answering two phone calls, and probably 3 trips up the stairs for kid drama, I was able to get through the video.  I didn't feel it at all yesterday, but can today.  I think this will be a great rainy day video. 

I've been doing so well with my eating too...until last night, and today.  a new Famous Dave's opened up here in town , so Tim wanted to go and check it out.  We've been doing pretty well not eating out, and a night off from cooking sounded pretty good to me.  Of course, we had too much food, but I had chugged a whole glass of water when we sat down, so I think I could have done worse.  Today at work, I totally un-did my 4.5 mile run by eating a whole bunch of food right after I ran.  Some of the teachers brought in food so we could sit on our lunchbreak and watch college basketball and pig out.  At least I had some salad...

Can't wait for the weekend, and my day off from running tomorrow.  Addy and I will probably make a trip into KC so I can resolve my running shoe issue once and for all and to find something fun to do.  She's gotten so tall from last summer that she won't have anything to wear once the weather does warm up, so maybe a little girl shopping is in order.  Dresses, of course (she obviously did NOT get that from me). 

To leave you for the night, a few silly pics before bedtime. 

Shirt stuck on the head is hilarious every time. 



Taillon or what!?



Notice we switched it up tonight.  See, sometimes she wears pants!
