It’s time that I get with the program.
So I bought a trainer for my bike…so there are NO more excuses to not get my cardio in. YAY TRAINER!!!!!!!! I got it out, set it up…well, ok the boyfriend set it up because let’s face it…if I can get him to do it, I’d much rather blame him for any malfunctions than know it was my fault for sure. 
Hehe.
I did 60 minutes on the trainer…and I am really not used to the seat on this bike. Mmm yeah. Gonna be hard to sit tomorrow. Lol. Here’s my sweet setup. FYI, coffee tables with wheels are God’s gift to apartment living.
So in superfunawesome news…my boyfriend got me a Good Luck on your half marathon package!!!! Lookie!!!
It has Gu’s, shot blocks, super awesome socks, lip gloss, and some body glide!!!! How amazing is that?? And did I mention my boyfriend is a non-runner?!?!! He got all that stuff and he doesn’t run!!! HE’S SO FREAKING GREAT!!!!!!!!
Ok, sorry for all the mush.
Oh, so some of my knitting friends are now reading my blog because it’s linked on Ravelry. In knitting news…I was working on a hat today, and my boyfriend looks at me and goes “HONEY!!! Finish a project before you start another one!!!” Lol. He’s noticed the abundance of un-finished things in baskets and bags around the house. I about died laughing.
One more thing, when I went to take the picture of my marathon package, it was on the table beside my gym bag. And my gym bag moved….on it’s own…
Yeah. Apparently my cat decided this is the ideal hiding spot. So…I left him alone. There’s nothing in there he can mess with. I usually just carry my post-run shoes, wallet, and body glide in it and some band-aids. Apparently now it carries cats too.
Ok, well I’m going to go get some homework done, wander Ravelry, and try and stop by all my favorite bloggers!!! More later!

Heyyyyyyy people.
So I didn’t manage to blog yesterday but I did manage a workout. However sadly it was not with Trainer. The gym was closed for cleaning/whatever since school starts next week so I’m not sure if we are allowed to meet this week or not outside of the gym…Trainer is trying to figure that out. But since we couldn’t meet and I was already on campus I went to one of the nearby running trails for a change of pace.
I did 3 miles, all running, no walking, and in under 30 min!!! This is very good for me, I’ve lost a lot of endurance since the half so…I’m pleased with this result. Especially considering I felt like crap over the weekend.
After the 3 I came home and did my ab workouts that Trainer has me do. I think I slacked a bit on them though because I wasn’t very sore the next day. I normally am, and it hurt while I was doing them so I don’t know. Maybe I need to up the intensity. We’ll wait on Trainer’s opinion for that. My guess is I was slacking.
That brings us to today. I did about 2-3 miles with Shiloh and Tessa. I ran with BOTH dogs at once for the first time and it was pretty interesting. They did ok. Tessa gets tired a lot faster than Shiloh so we may need to only take her out for shorter runs. She also may have some hip issues…so she might not be running at ALL.
So after my run I went down to the local vet clinic I used to work for because I heard they had cats for adoption. The shelters and rescues have not gotten back to me and it’s just so hard to convince people you’re a good owner, and it takes forever. So…I knew the people at the clinic knew me, knew my cats, and I could get one that day….so…….
Yeaaaah.
He’s a cute little bugger. He’s also highly anti-social, at least with me. He LOVES my other cat…but he freaks out if I look in his direction. I’m hoping that will subside because he was SUPER spunky at the vets.
Paco is really not sure about this whole thing. Ha. The kitten has been chasing him around the apartment which is highly amusing to me.
Well, I’m going to go watch the olympics/my cats!!

Well it was one busy weekend!
I didn’t really manage to get a workout in between the 11 hours of driving…but I did accomplish some pictures of the bf’s dog.
This is Kaiser!!!
He was running around and playing…so cute.
And here’s a halfway decent one of the bf and me at the wedding.
Good news is that I did a nice easy 2 miler this morning. I did the second mile faster than the first so if that counts as a negative split…YAY!!! Ha. I’ll count it.
I just ran around the loop my road makes so it wasn’t a very exciting run other than the time. However running at my apartment saves gas since I don’t drive to the park.
Tomorrow I meet with my nutritionist again and then Wednesday is PERSONAL TRAINER DAY!!!!!!!! WHOOOO!!! I’m so excited. I see her Friday too. Awesomeness.
And I’ll leave you with two amusing pictures.
These are a couple of christmas ornaments my aunt found at a yard sale for me. RUNNING SNOWMEN!!! I was so amused.
Then this is Paco hiding during the huge storm we had last night…he crept out after it was over.
More tomorrow!!
