Pumpkin patch!

Had a great time at Sonny Acres today. Bobbi, AJ, Kyle and I had a blast. What a gorgeous autumn day!

Autumn weekend

I made some cards this weekend. What a beautiful weekend to be have off :) Going for a long run at the arboretum in the morning. Hot Chocolate 15K Race is 3 weeks away!

Awesome Sunday

Had a great day yesterday! Started off the day with an early morning run with Marcia. I rarely have such a great run, where I felt like I could have kept going. We did 4.39 miles at the (hilly) arboretum in about 55 minutes--a great time for me. Then we got coffee in the cafe and chatted for a bit. My mother and I later went into the city to see Maliha. We had Indian food (yum!) from Shan. We drove past these beautiful flowers and I had to drive around to get a pic with them.
All in all, a wonderful Sunday :)

~Training~

Today's run was only 3 miles... felt sluggish but I made it through! Felt so good to finish instead of quitting ;) 5 on Sunday!

Catching up

I've been reading (Freedom by Jonathan Franzen and Butterfly Mosque by Willow Wilson~ both very good) and I've been busy trying to get back on the exercise wagon. Lost my motivation for a while and it was hard to make myself workout after a long day, so I didn't. BUT! Starting this week, I've been really good :) Marcia and I ran a 5k at the Morton Arboretum and finished in 33:07, which is great for me, especially with a hilly course.
Now it's time to get serious about the Hot Chocolate 15K on Nov. 6th! Nothing like a race to motivate me!
