Awesome shirts!

I just wanted to show off the shirts we got from running the Blood Run.  I love the design!  On the back it says "blood run" and all the sponsors.  I love running, but also LOVE getting new tee shirts too!!!!

Blood Run 5K

We woke up at 5am to get ready for this race.  It started at 7am so we had to leave pretty early to make it there to check in and all.  When we left it was raining out and a chilly 48 degrees.  It was still raining when we got there, but we were so lucky because 10 minutes before the race the rain stopped.  That made my day.  Not a fan of running in the rain when it is cold out.

The race was a REALLY good one.  The course was pretty flat which I liked!  They also labeled the course really well.  There would be a sign for every .5 miles.  I had to stop to walk twice, but still was able to get a PR!  35:31 My wonderful husband got some shots of me running.  Our camera isn't the greatest, but I think they came out ok.

Right after I crossed the finish line.  I actually finished at 35:31.  I'm the one in pink!

When I reached the finish line I swore I was going to puke!  I really pushed myself hard to get that PR!  Luckily I didn't get sick.  Yay!  After the race, they did a ton of giveaways.  Nate (my husband) won two gift certificates to jump on it for one hour.  Our son will LOVE that!  Oh and we also got a pretty awesome finisher medal.  Super cool in my book!

Me, with my medal for finishing the race.  I actually came in 8th place in women ages 19 -29.  I'm pretty proud of that!

After our race, we rewarded ourselves with this:

McDonalds Egg Mcmuffin!  YUM!  Don't mind my post-run crazy hair!

National Running Day!

I know it was on Wednesday, June 2nd.  I've been a little slow on my blogging lately.

On Wednesday, my husband worked mainly from home.  While my son was at summer camp, we were able to run together.  I thought it would be fun to run around a lake that is a mile from us.  We ended up doing 2 miles which is what I'm scheduled to do for my 10k/half marathon training plan.  I really enjoyed running with someone else.  I don't get to do that very often.

I hope everyone else was able to go out and get a run in!  I'm excited I have another 5k coming up in a week!!!!

I am in LOVE!

Yes, I found a store bought bread that I absolutely LOVE!  My favorite part is that it is 100% natural.  It has NO high fructose corn syrup which I have been trying to eat as little as possible of that stuff.  I have to be honest this bread is kind of pricey $3.68 a loaf but so worth it for the taste and knowing that it is healthier for you!!!!

I know the best way to go is to make your own bread, but I'm too lazy for that... hahaha!  Seriously, this stuff is delicious!  Go try some and you'll be a believer!!!!  They also have so many other kinds of bread other than honey wheat.
