Weekend Wrapup

I'll start with an update on the marathon training. I'm proud to say this week I logged 14 miles... not bad for my first official week of training! I did a five mile "long" run on Saturday. Now, that's only a couple miles more than my daily short runs, but for some reason, it really pooped me out. I definitely need to work on building up my endurance! The good news is that I survived it and will be adding mileage this week. My feet are sore today (those darn second toes hurt!) but nothing else hurts too badly. I am a little nervous - my friends who have already done marathons are talking to me about rolling sticks and ice baths. I had no idea that there was this much to it - I just thought I had to get out there and run! We'll see how sore I get and if I end up resorting to any of that!

Friday night Kati and I met up with Brigitte and Alyse for a little catch up dinner at Red Robin. It's been a crazy few months for all of us, so it was nice to sit down, have some drinks and chat! Saturday I went to a CERT outreach meeting (we're doing some really cool stuff this year) and then over to Mike's to watch "The Godfather". Yeah, I know, I should have watched it a long time ago (ironically, Kati claims we did... I don't remember it though and I'm pretty sure you don't forget the horse head scene). I do have it say, it's a great movie! I really want to watch the next two and Mike says the book is great, so that's on my list of books to read!

Today Kati and I went into full house cleaning mode and got everything clean in the morning. It's so nice to have a helper now... it's amazing how much faster it goes! Then we met up with Mom for brunch and ran some errands. I did a little yard work and now I'm getting ready to try out a Coq au Vin recipe for dinner. "24" starts tonight, so I wanted to make something yummy and have a nice night in!
