10K expo

Yesterday I went to the expo and packet pick up. Not gonna lie, I was a little disappointed. It seemed smaller this year and a lot of the vendors were selling the same things (how many different types of running sunglasses are there??) I was really on the lookout for a pair of new headphones since mine went through the wash the other week. Was also hoping to find the type that are designed to stay in your ears better. No such luck. There was one booth selling headphones and they were the wireless kind. I didn't really dig that, but I would have been covered if I needed some sunglasses! 

I do, however, LOVE the t-shirt this year! I'm not sure what I was thinking when I ordered a small, I think I thought it was a technical shirt or something and those are always baggy on me. So it is a bit snug but alright.

I had to get a new armband for my phone since my old one doesn't work on the new 5S. I'm not totally in love with it so we'll see how that goes. 

In all honesty, I don't know if I am going to be running tomorrow. It is supposed to be raining down buckets and I felt like crap yesterday and woke up today with a sinus infection today. I'm really torn because I've done all this training and I will feel like a loser if I don't go but I know I will regret it as soon as I am standing out there in the rain.  I guess I will just see how I feel in the morning. 

 

B-man tagged along in the Ergo. I love this thing and wish I had used it sooner with him. 

Check back early next week to see if I ran or not!

Training Week 10: spot on

Saturday was week 10 of the training team. On one hand I am glad it is over because I won't have to get up early every Saturday again or run in the ridiculously cold weather. On the other hand I'm sad. The training team is always a good time and it has gotten better over the years since I first participated back in 2008. This year we had several different vendors stop by, the Y gave out a prize every week, we had bagels, donuts, coffee and tea, we were given signs to put in our yards, etc. Little perks seem to make things more fun.

Mmmm...

Coach John wasn't there this week so our run was actually 4 miles spot on. It was GREAT.

I've been very good these past 2 weeks about doing my PT at home and I feel like I have seen some improvement. I don't always get all the exercises in but I do get all the stretching and foam rolling done which Kevin said was the most important. I go back on Wednesday for my last session so I hope that he sees improvement too.

Keeping my fingers crossed for good weather this week. I really want to get out and run.

Also this past Saturday was one of my best friend's baby's first birthday party! We had a lot of fun. First birthdays are really just an excuse for adults to get together and drink. I'm pretty excited for B's now. I got a lot of good ideas and later figured out a "theme". I'm pumped. 

Yes I put a Cabbage Patch Kid wig on my child. My husband was furious. 

I'm excited to have the party but not excited about having a one year old. Where did the year go???
