Friday weigh in

Happy Friday y'all! Yes, I know I skipped a whole week of blogging but sometimes, not even I am superwoman.

I've been working really long days to help pay for the renovation - sometimes it seems like we've been at it forever and that it should be almost done but it's really just begun.

Just since I started writing this post the rest of the windows upstairs have been ripped out. 3 big new ones are going in and that will make for some less expensive bills this winter. After that's done, there's an 18' x 8' addition is going where the 2 doors are on the left. So thankful my brother-in-law is doing this - it's like having my own Mike Holmes "makin' it right".

In running news, last Saturday I made it through my first double digit run!

I did really well. I took it slow and the only time I struggled was on a huge hill and running directly into the sun at about mile 8. I think it's good for me to face those challenges out there because that's what will happen on race day and it's good to know how to handle it. I had forgotten my energy gummies and I'm thinking that may have had something to do with it too. That won't happen again!

112 pounds total!

Hello 130's! I can't even believe I am 13 pounds from my goal ?!?! I think I'm smaller than I was even in the 6th grade. It never stops being weird but great. I've gotten to the point now where everyone feels comfortable asking about it - people in my neighborhood stop me on the street and the people that work in the grocery story flock around me asking how I did it. Even some guys who you think would never even notice have said something.

-----------------------------

Next weekend is my 25 year (yikes!) high school reunion. I'm SO excited to be getting a trip to the beach and a few days away with my husband. It's also pretty sweet to have more than one dress option AND they are both size small :) 

------------------------------

Tomorrow I will set out early for another 10 miler. I'm going much earlier and am avoiding that mile 8 hill this time - oh and not forgetting my fuel!

Have a great weekend everyone!!
