Well after a bunch of talking and searching and more talking and searching, E & I decided on the 5k we are going to do once we get to California! We are going to do the Wounded Warrior 5k! It's not until August, so the date hasn't been set in stone yet; I'm giving myself until August 1st to be race ready.
I revamped my training schedule and have myself starting to run 1/2 mile & working up to 3 miles. I extended the training time from 8 to 12 weeks, and am really excited to begin! I'll be running 3 miles by May 11th {because I will stick to the schedule} and will have from May 11th to August 1st to improve my time :))
I can't believe I'm excited about starting to run on a regular basis, but oh well, I guess stranger things have happened ;)
Anyways, this is what next week looks like:
Monday: walk 1 mile
Tuesday: run 1/2 mile
Wednesday: walk 1 mile
Thursday: run 1/2 mile
Friday: rest
Saturday: run 1/2 mile
Sunday: 30-60 minute walk
Any suggestions for a new runner?
On to Love Day. Happy Valentine's Day y'all!
This is our first Valentine's Day as a married couple, which is exciting all on its own. Last night before going to sleep E & I laid in bed talking about our last few Valentine's Days together, it was really sweet and got me thinking.
I know I'm a very lucky blessed individual, but holy cow, I am so incredibly fortunate to have found such a wonderful man to spend the rest of my life with. I'm so excited for our low key date night tonight. Love you so much shankapotamus.
All of this talk about Valentine's Day got me thinking about what love really is. So, what is it? Well, I did some digging around and this is some of what I found. There were so many different ways to define love that it almost blew my mind; everyone defines love in their own way. In my mind, the millions of different definitions are what helps make & keep love so magical. Below you'll find love defined by the dictionary and then two of my favorite definitions I found.
Enjoy ;)

Love is feeling things you've never felt before, smiling like you've never smiled before, laughing at your mistakes and winning battles you thought were impossible - just because that one person (your love) - is right there standing next to you throughout it all... Love is enduring all things meant to tear you apart and coming out on the other side only stronger than before. Its about being the most raw and naked version of yourself without hesitation and still being accepted by your partner.
ReplyDeleteAnd for myself and my wonderful husband.... Love is a miracle.
