Pittsburgh

Life lately

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. This week's long run^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 😉

-Pittsburgh got snow:Brrrr.

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!

Keeping up

Hey hey. I just wanted to say that I’m having a hard time keeping up with blogs right now. I feel guilty because I don’t want anyone to think that I’ve been ignoring their blog.

I love reading and commenting on blogs but I have found that my life is pretty busy at the moment with school, friends, family, running, and hopefully a job in the near future. If I haven’t been commenting on your blog, don’t fret because I’m still reading and creeping on your life 😉

This past weekend was quite fun. Hannah and I got our eyebrows waxed. I think it feels good and she hates it with a passion. Also, the lady that waxed my brows asked which local high school I went to and thought Hannah was older than me. I’m six years older than her. Fail. Like our eyebrows?!

I spent Saturday evening at a Mexican restaurant and then a car show in downtown Pittsburgh. Ten people ended up going to the restaurant and car show…. I was the only girl among a bunch of boys. Crazy and fun. Jimmy and I got in trouble for being above the whole car show and taking this picture. Jimmy’s brother and friend thought it would be fun to go to the upper level of the convention center and hang out even though a few signs said not to. We spent about 10 minutes upstairs and then got ushered back down. Ooops 😉

Other pictures from the car show:My dream truck. A watermelon truck!Some of the boys… acting awkward.An Orange Crush car… pretty sweet.Jimmy and his brother fighting?At the end of the car show, some famous BMX biker’s were doing a stunt show so we watched and this one guy got broke. Like I think he fractured his hip…it was crazy.

On a side note, I have been reading this book:The Long Run is about a NYC firefighter who was run over by a bus and made a comeback as an elite athlete. So far, I’m loving it. Such a page turner! I will do a proper review when I finish the book.
