:: So yes! I did it! Survived half marathon number two of the season. It went pretty well, and I got to run half of it with my friend Laura, which made it infinitely more entertaining. We started off with the 2:05 pace group, but about half way through Laura wanted to slow down a bit, and I was feeling good and wanting to speed up, so we split up. The course had one pretty significant hill, but otherwise was flat or slightly rolling and went by pretty quickly. The worst part honestly was the last mile, it seemed to drag on for no apparent reason. But I finished in 2:04:03. Laura completed her first half marathon and Meaghan also ran! It was a good day.
:: After that weekend I bit the bullet and ate Whole30 compliant foods for a week. I had been enjoying all the Halloween candy and my new found love of Dominos pizza WAY too much, and I needed to do something about it. It was amazing how quickly I just felt better. Of course there were days that I wanted to say screw it, if I'm only doing it for a week, it isn't worth it. But I stuck with it thank goodness. With Elsie getting sick and not really eating Monday or having my food and stuff prepped Tuesday I'm already way off track again, but back at trying to make healthier food choices. The right food just does too many good things for me. Plus I know Thanksgiving through Christmas is going to be tough so every day counts!
:: I love to read, but I rarely do it. Partly because once I pick up a book I just can't put it down. I absolutely have to know what happens. So when I started reading Maze Runner, I ended up plowing through all four books in the series in like six days. It was ridiculous. I just couldn't stop reading. I wasn't super happy with how the story line played out, some parts kind of pissed me off. But it was definitely something that kept me engaged and was entertaining. I also read Four: A Divergent Collection. I can't say I really loved that one. While it was interesting to see Tobias's perspective on some things, I felt like I wasn't all that interested because I knew where it was going. Next on my list of things to read is Gone Girl, because I just have to read books before I see the movie. It is just the way I am.
:: Who decided that this was put your Christmas tree up three weeks before Thanksgiving year? All of the sudden my instagram feed got bombarded with Christmas decor shots. Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas and the decorations and all that good stuff. I've been debating holiday wear and headbands and leggings for far too long already. But it is not put your tree up time. It just isn't. Plus then I just have to fight with my kids and my cats about not touching the damn thing.
Well little miss sicky is refusing to nap (%#$@^%!) so I guess I'm done. Wahhhh.
