Thursday night: Jeff wins "Best Hubby Award" as we discussed my next half marathon which is less than 2 weeks away in Myrtle Beach. Again after having this planned forever there is a tweak in our plans and causes logistics, etc. to be a little crazy. So Jeff said I could just get a room in Myrtle Beach that Friday night!! Wahoo! I got one of the last 2 available rooms at the host hotel that is only .4 miles from the start! With a 6:30 am start time...this is fabulous! Since he didn't get me a birthday present...this will count for it! (Otherwise I was staying in Pawleys Island and making the drive over, etc.) I will have to still go by myself as Jeff will be coming back from in town that day...so he will stay at home with Norah while I am gone.
Friday: School work was done and a speed work run on the treadmill. Friday night we then got together with our neighbors for chili night and let all the kids play. It was so great! Between us and our two neighbors we have 5 kids ranging in age from 2 to 5 so they completely entertained themselves while we got to hang out. I hate that I didn't take any pics...sometimes I forget all about the camera!
Saturday: Took Norah to her friend's house for a birthday party. I dropped her off and ran a quick 3 miles, showered and went back to pick her up. (BTW...this was the fastest 3 miles in a long time!)
This is the birthday girl, Harper, who turned 4 years old! So cute!
Norah showing me her nails (Christy painted all the little girl's nails at the party!)...Of course...Norah is concentrating on her cupcake!
Norah sneaking a marshmallow....
Norah had the best time at the party...it was a Pinkalicious party and was so cute!!My mom came up around 4ish on Saturday afternoon and so Jeff and I headed out for a little date time. We went to Cowfish and got sushi...it was really good! Then we ran a couple of errands and picked up Starbucks. We were home by 7:30! We then all watched "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest"...which is the last in the series. It was really good! I cannot wait for the American versions of this movie to come out...especially since my hottie Daniel Craig is in it!
Sunday: Super Bowl! Jeff's parents and our neighbors came over to eat some dinner and watch some pregame show and the start of the game. The game was great! It definitely could have gone either way at the end. The kids had a blast playing and the playroom showed it! Norah crashed out the moment they left!

I set off for a 5 mile run but only did 4.6 miles. It was one of those runs where you just aren't in it. I think running is very much mental and sometimes you have those runs that are blah. This was one of them. At first my calves were super tight but then I just didn't feel like running. But it got done and there is 12 days until the half!
Random Fueling Comment Regarding Running:
So I have been trying to figure out the running/fueling thing. I did find that only eating carbs before running seem to sit better with me. I ate pancakes Saturday morning and ran great! I think the whole protein (Peanut Butter or egg) before running doesn't do well for me... Well I am still tweaking all of this so we'll see....

Productive weekend!
Norah looks so cute with her pink nails :)
And congrats on getting in those miles! Running is really 80% mental.
