I really have nothing to talk about today. I ran into an old friend when I stopped at the super market today. It was kind of funny, since I called her last week just to say hi.
This week is going well. Nothing to special, but nothing too boring. Yesterday my hubby bought me flowers (Oriental Lilies). I love lilies, but I know that I'm highly allerigic to Casa Blanca Lilies. These smell amazing! I so love the smell, but I'm not getting to close. I don't think that I'm allergic, but hey, one never knows!
I've been working hard on my Mystery Stole. It's coming along so well!!
In other knitting news, my spinning friend Wrapknot and I are going to do another knit along. This time we are going to do Hey, Teach! I am exxcited about this project! It should be a good time! ^_^
Tonight I'm not running... I need one day of lazy! Back at it tomorrow! >_<

Family, Wine, and Dinner Parties
Ah, families. Last night I had my Uncle, Aunt, Mom, Dad, and cousin over for dinner. It was a blast! My Aunt and Uncle are here visiting my cousin. Since she moved up here they wanted to come and see her. They picked the best weekend to come up here. The leaves are so beautiful and rich with color.
My family came up early in the day so that we could ride our bikes along the path by the beach. I took them on a path that our walking club from school has walked a few times. The first half was all down hill... you can guess what happened on the way back up! We weren't the only ones with that idea. It seemed like everyone who lives with a 100 mile radius was out there walking, biking, running, or walking a dog. The paths were crowded, but with the number of nice days dwindling, it was nice to see so many happy people out and about.
After our ride we headed home so that I could make an apple crisp for dinner. Since, Hubby and I went apple picking on Saturday, we have a lot of apples to work with.
Dinner was quite the event! I love when we have family get -togethers. The stories and memories that are shared are so special.
I hope that my Aunt and Uncle come back and we can do it again soon!!!

Run Lola Run
Well, my goal of that 5K is getting more attainable by the day. This week I have tried really hard to go in 3 days after school to run/walk on the treadmill. I am getting closed to the 3 miles that I need to be up to for the race. On Wednesday, I did 2.5 miles, and tonight I made it 2.8
I now have a running program that I am working on. It's full of drills and sprints, but I know it is good for me. I just want to have the endurance to make to the end of the race still running. I'm still walking a little less than half the time right now, so I need to get the running part up before I'm race ready!
I wasn't going to tell people about my crazy race goal, but then I thought if I tell people, then I will be committed to do it! My coworkers are asking me about my training, so I have to do it! Good job me!
I learned the weird thing today... there is a National Punctuation Day on September 24! Who knew that?? I think that's great! I can celebrate it with my kiddos since I am an English teacher! It will be celebrated like I celebrate Pi day (March 14) with a wacky tee shirt! ^_^

Running
Well, I think I have lost my mind... I went to the gym on Sunday for a retest of how much I weigh, and how much muscle vs. fat I have. I was talking to the trainer and I mentioned that I would like to SOMEDAY RUN a 5K. What was I thinking??
I am now signed up with a personal trainer to get me in shape and start to train for my 5K. I want to do it before my 30 birthday (which is in December). I called my cousin and asked her if she would run it with me. She said no problem. She has done them before, so it will be easy for her. I am going to try to run across the finish line.
I am starting to run on the treadmill for now, but I want to get to outside running soon before the weather gets too cold.

No Resting
This weekend has been non stop!
Friday night, I went out with some former coworkers to a corn maze. It was a lot of fun! We had dinner first, then we drove out to the middle of nowhere and explored the corn maze in the dark. We did it last year and it was a good time. This year the weather was a little colder, and it did start to rain on us by the end. I was very tired by the end.. I think we walked about 5 miles! We collected 11 out of 12 pieces of the maze puzzle. This maze they show you the map for a second and then you are on your own. You have to collect the pieces if you want to find the exit! When we got to the exit, they had a table with all the pieces so that we were able to get a completed map.
Last night I went out with Goth Girl for some sushi. We had a great dinner and laughed a lot. I love to hang out with her! She has a great sense of humor and a wonderful outlook on life. After we were going to meet my cousin, but after stopping at her house, her cats triggered my allergies, so that ended my night. Too bad, I was excited for her to meet my cousin.
Today I have been catching up on my house work and getting back to a routine of going to the gym.
