Well hello again...........

Ali Mc (check this girl out, she’s awesome) thanks for the kick in the pants and checking up on me.

Blogger Fail! Apparently I fell off of the face of the earth these last two weeks. Not sure what my problem is, I guess for once in my life I had nothing to say. It has been crazy busy here with all of my training and the kid’s activities.  

Did I tell you that I ran a race? It was pretty awesome, a 10k across the Golden Gate Bridge. SIL and my time was 1:07:56 and a 10:49 pace. Faster than the Lucky 7. The first mile was up hill, and neither of us expected that. Also there were over 2,000 people running on the walking path of the bridge. No roads closed for this race. LOVED being up close and personal with all of those peeps. And there were stairs, you know the race is going to rock when they announce ahead of time that it was not a P.R. course. Well guess what, I P.R. (if this being my first 10k counts as a P.R.)  Here are a few shots of the day-

I was still smiling because we just started

After the race-Me, DH, SIL, FIL

While we were in S.F. we got to see my in-laws. We celebrated Miss thing birthday a few days early. Her birthday is actually today, and I ran 11 miles in honor of her 11^th birthday. More on that later.  Here are a few pictures from the weekend-

So I started swimming, and doing a little weights. I would eventually like to do another triathlon. I also started juicing, I am loving it but will get into that another day. 

Five weeks till the half marathon. I had talked a little about want to sub 2:00. That was when I thought that my P.R. was 2:05, after some research I found out that my P.R. is actually 2:10. I did this on my first of three halfs. New plan, just P.R.ing!

On to this morning, I ran 11 miles in 2:06:30 with an average pace of 11:30. This was my fast long run yet. It felt pretty good, though my shins have been hurting for a couple weeks. :/ At this point I feel like I can finish a half without injury. Can I P.R? Not so sure about that, I would basically have to add two miles to the time I ran today. 

We have a busy night tonight, I will be back tomorrow (or the next day)
