On vacation

ahhh... a week off. We celebrated Eid Tuesday. Other than that, I've pretty much done nothing. A little running, a little reading, and too little crafting :) And it's already Thursday! I will try to finish the book I'm currently reading (First Family by Joseph Ellis). I went downtown and had lunch with Bobbi. We always have a good time together. Tomorrow night, it's dinner with Marcia at Wildfire. Here is a picture of me at the Hot Chocolate race on Nov. 6.

Hot Chocolate 15K

I ran the Hot Chocolate 15K race yesterday (Saturday, November 6) and I finished in 1:45, which is 9 minutes faster than last year! So I basically shaved a minute off each mile! It feels so awesome~I've been doing a lot of speed workouts and they must have worked :) Just an indescribable feeling to improve so much. Makes it all worthwhile :) I could feel myself running faster and my Nike iPod app was telling me my speed at each mile. It felt amazing to pass people, even though I wanted to walk around mile 8. But I kept running and had a smile as I crossed the finish line!
