The race was wonderful! Getting home was a challenge. I am quite sore today however. I will fill you in on all of this later this week when I get some race photos from new friends I met on Saturday.
Everything is going well here. I've been busy with work/school. I hope you all are doing great!
This blog was started as a way of keeping myself motivated to keep working out, and the blog has been successful in that aspect. I started running in 2007, and it really has transformed my life. I have discovered so many inspiring individuals through the "blog world" and many delicious recipes. I use this blog to keep track of my training and write about the fun things in life. Keep checking back to read about my training for my first marathon, in February 2011.

More blonde
This week we had some serious rain! In with the rain, out with the 12 mile run I had planned. I technically could have run it on Friday or Saturday, but I was really tired after work Friday and ended up hanging out with a friend all day Saturday. Honestly, I am no longer concerned. I will run my race on Saturday and have fun. I did manage three 3-mile runs (Thursday-Saturday in 33:20, 29:54, and 30:52). I also did a very quick arm and ab work-out. I'll admit, it was a pretty lame work-out this week.
In more exciting news, I tried on wedding dresses for the first time this past week. I wanted to get an idea of what styles I liked on me, and I had originally intended to go by myself. I ended up being very happy that Caitlin convinced me I should have someone go with me. She ended up going with me, and I would have felt very overwhelmed without her there. I learned I definitely like an ivory color better than a pure white. That was on Thursday.
On Saturday, I decided to lightened my hair. I got several highlights put in my hair, and I love them! My hair has been slowly getting darker as I get older, and it was time for a change. When I went for my much needed hair cut, I just decided to go crazy and highlight my hair (well that is crazy for me!). As usual, just a trim of my hair makes it look so much shorter (darn curly hair!), but hopefully it will grow out fast. After getting my hair done, I met up with a friend for lunch and a fun afternoon of window shopping. We ate at a delicious turkish restaurant in Winter Park.
Then when we were walking around, we happened to walk by a bridal boutique and decided to go in. I found a dress that I loved! I dislike the picture of the dress online, but I really loved it on me. I have plenty of time, so I am not going to quit looking yet, but it was exciting to find a dress I loved.
I hope that you all have a wonderful week! I cannot wait to write about my race on Saturday!
