Challenge Accepted!!!!

Mike and I are running a couples 5k on Sunday.  The other day I was teasing him and said that I was going to make us cutesy matching shirts to wear since we have to be tied together.  He jokingly made the comment that he only wants a shirt if it's the 3 wolves howling at the moon with my picture in the moon.  Well, you can't make a comment like that and not expect me to accept the challenge.  :-)

I sent the day today making his shirt.  Here it is!

It turned out better than I thought.  He really likes it too.

Here is what my shirt looks like.

I can't wait to get a picture of us together in our shirts.  I had so much fun making them and I know Sunday will be fun as well.  I am really excited for Sunday!!!!!

Here we are at Friday!!!!!!

It's gonna be a cold one today!  We are supposed to get snow and cold temperatures.  I can already feel the temps dropping.  Brrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!

I got up this morning and took James to daycare.  He agreed that it was a little too cold to walk.  After I dropped him up I went to the gym to run.  After a 5 minute warm up I ran at a pretty good pace.  Then did a 5 minute cool down.  In total I ran 3.7 miles in 51 minutes, but if you take the 10 minute warm-up/cool down off I ran 3.3 miles in 41 minutes.  It felt really good.  I'm still not a fan of the treadmill, but I am dealing with it.  I am ready for it to be warm so I can go for my early morning runs.  I love those times.  Until then I will stick to running on the treadmill.  Tomorrow I'm up for a tempo run so we'll see how that goes.

I'm getting really excited to do the Valentine's Couples 5k on Sunday.  Even though it's going to be really cold I think it's going to be fun for us.  When we get home I'm making a Surf and Turf dinner for our Valentine's dinner.  Mike has to go to Ohio next weeks so we are celebrating on Sunday.

Saturday we have James so I have a special dinner planned for him as well.  He loves meatloaf, so I'm making meatloaf for dinner.  For dessert I got fresh strawberries and chocolate dip.  He'll love that!  We have a weekend of celebrating this weekend.

I am glad I have the next 2 weekends at home with the family.  Yes, I still have practice, but it's in the morning and I have the rest of the day so it's okay.  I'm so glad today is Friday!!!!!!
