Happy Monday!
This weekend was really awesome! Friday was a low key night. I got out of work a couple hours early and B made grilled chicken, asparagus and rice and beans. Bed was pretty early, around 10:30pm. I checked the weather for Saturday and saw it was going to be rainy and cool so I decided to let myself wake up natural time since the weather was not going to be that hot.
I got up to drizzle, bleh. I walked Clyde with B and decided to walk without an umbrella to get myself used to the drizzle :) It wasn't a pour like it was a couple days ago but just a light drizzle. After a 30min walk, I got home, changed into my quick dry gear and bandaged up my foot. Now I have been having blister problems for almost a month now. It has been a big issue on my long runs. My friend took me to Duane Reade and we picked up what he uses for his bad blisters. Two awesome products: Friction Bock and Band Aid Blister Bandages. Now my blog is a small little thang that I am not sure if anyone even reads so this review is purely based off of my experience and complete LOVE of how my feet felt. When I tell you that for 14 miles I did not feel one ounce of pain or irritation from my blisters I am telling the 100% truth. My only complaint would be the Bandages are hard to get off, but I read I'm supposed to leave them on, so next time I will. Guys, this run was the longest I ever ran and so far this training the best run. I was faster, stronger and having fun! The drizzle was welcomed! I really kept me cool. I didn't feel like I was sweating until around mile 7 or 8. The sun stayed away until I was on my way back, maybe the last 30minutes of my run. My feet felt like a million bucks and I got my motivation back! I needed it, all this training was getting to my head and this run put it all back to the motivating force I had in the beginning. I can do it! Ha!
After my run, B and I had an awesome brunch at our friends, then had pizza and beer at our other friends for dinner and watching a dismal Jets game :( Seriously, being a Jets fan is soooooooooo hard!
Sunday was a super exciting day for me. We went to have brunch with my Dad, Step Mom and B's parents at The Stone House, where we are getting married in one year!!!! I was a little nervous because I have not been back since we booked it in April. B and I go there early and just walked around the organic gardens they have on premises. I really fell in love with this place again. It is perfect and I cannot wait to get married there, like now!!! The food and drinks where awesome and our families LOVED it!
I skipped my run this am because I didn't want to get up and I knew the weather would be cool enough to go tonight. So tonight I'm going home, running then watching a movie! Movies rule!!!
