Hey there. School has picked up a bit for me and I’ve been busy! Here is what has been going on in my life lately:
– I’m still training for the June marathon and so far I have been injury free. I have been running outside- okay I run outside like once week. I always try to do my long run outside though. 
^My long run for this week done in 30* temps. I can’t wait for warm weather running! For the marathon, I am focusing on training conservatively. If I end up liking marathons then I will train more seriously for my second. No need to stress!
-I am convinced that a pb&j a day keeps the doctor away. Just kidding. But really. I am loving pb&j sandwiches! 
–I finished reading this book:
-Now I’m onto this book:
I have been making time in my day to do “personal” things like reading for pleasure and writing in my journal. I notice on the days when I neglect to read my Bible, journal, or just read, I get stressed out. So I try to do something little for myself each day.
Other things:
–I have been planning and doing a lot of behind the scenes-type things that I will inform everyone of as soon as I can. These things involve a possible job (surprise to come near the end of February!), a fundraiser, and something else. Fun stuff!
-I love this boy:
Oh yeah, I still suck at bowling. Like anyone thought that was going to change 😉
Alrighty, I’m off to shop for a Valentine’s Day gift for Jimmy. I have no idea what to get him…. any ideas?! (He’s really into technology + video games + boy-type stuff.)
Have a great day!

Such a cute photo of you and Jimmy! 🙂
I have no idea of Valentines gifts. This is actually the first Valentine’s day that I’ll be single since sophomore year of high school! UH woah. Serial dater for real. Anyways-your life looks fantastical as always.
Glad to hear all is going well! You’re one brave soul to run in those chilly temps!
I love that pic of you and the boyfriend..so cute 🙂
Cant wait to hear about this job of yours 🙂
I have been loving PB&J too! Excited to hear about your news!
Mmm, PBJ sounds super good! What kind of jelly/jam do you like on yours?
That picture of the snow on the trees is so pretty!
I’m horrible at knowing what to get boys, too! I still need to get something for Andy. I’ll probably just end up getting him candy and a card. 😀
I’m glad you are doing more “personal” things for yourself – you are worth it! Can’t wait to see what you’re up to : )
I suck at V-Day gifts. I always go with chocolate and sports tickets.
You and your boy pictures make me smile! You look so happy.
Sidenote, I friggin love your hair!
Sidenote x 2: I tagged you in a post!
The pic of you and Jimmy is super cute. I get Clay nerdy stuff- like I got him a Ninja Turtles beanie and water bottle and he loves them because it reminds him of being a kid. So things like that, they’re small, but they mean a lot to dudes :). Gift cards for electronics stores are always good too!
Good luck with your marathon training! I don’t blame you, if it’s your first time running one, finishing should be your goal. Then once you’ve done it you can figure out if you want to go for a certain time, I guess.
That is a really cute pic of you two. For Valentines, I usually make a fancy dinner for my husband — soup, lobster, etc. He loves the effort!
I’m happy to see your getting some Allie time in, very important to relax and do things you enjoy for fun 🙂 YAY for being injury free with marathon training!!! You and Jimmy are adorable!
That Pregnancy Project book looks good! Good luck with the marathon training! You and Jimmy seem like the perfect pair…
I always try to do long runs outside too. It just seems like that’s when it counts the most 😀
Can’t wait to see what you think about Phelps book! I’ve though about getting it a couple times.
I love PB&J sandwiches too..they were a favorite of mine as a child… actually, they still are! 😀
Have a nice weekend!
