it's been forever since i've even posted anything on here. life is good. i like my new job, although it's been a little frustrating lately because a lot of my paycheck depends on commission and i've just been running into a lot of dead ends. Ryan got a new job. he's really excited about it. he's got to go up to minnesota for 2 weeks to train. he'll be gone for his birthday :(.... but this will put him in a much better position once he gets back.
allie ran in the state cross country meet today. i'm really proud of her. she has worked so hard to get to this point. i ran a 5K myself this morning. i felt so good all day after doing that. yea, 3.1 miles isn't all that far, but i did get my best time of 28:25... and i know i have a long way to go before that's anything to brag about, but i still did it. This is our bond- allie and i are going to begin training for a 10K. Our long term goal is to do a half-marathon (13.1 miles!) but that's going to be a while from now. i looked up races tonight that we could run and begin to train for the longer distances. i've plotted out like 3 i'm going to do by next April. Another 5K and then 2 10Ks- i want to try to increase my time between the 2. i've pulled up training schedules and everything so we can do this the right way.
Ryan and I looked at houses last week with a realtor. It was so much fun to look and see what's around. Granted, they are all expensive but if we're going to buy in this area, we really don't have a choice! We found a couple that we liked but it's just such a huge expense and commitment that i don't know if it's something we can really afford soon- maybe in 6 months or so, but now it's just hard.
it's 10:00 and i feel like a loser going to bed this early.. i guess i will so i can get up early and do my first run before church in the morning. poor ryan has to get up at 4 30 to get to work by 6 tomorrow... that sucks!!
