Will start off with one of the baby. Just riding her trike around the living room on a Sunday afternoon.

Now onto the weekend recap. Had a great weekend with my Brian and my Aria. Made omelettes and fried potatoes for breakfast. Then got in a great strength work-out. I only had 15 miles run for the week and I really wanted to up that by just a few miles so I hopped on the treadmill.

Did 2.5 mile tempo run. I want to run my upcoming 5k at about a 9:00 min/mile pace so that is what I did for the 2.5 miles and I went a little bit faster for the last half mile so I ended up with a 5k time of 28:20 which is a super personal best for me! Yay!


To reward me for my running progress and being such a great mama, Bri took me shopping.
We got him some new work jeans and me a new pair of *drum roll please* size 6 jeans!!!

I was at the weight I am now when I got pregnant but I was wearing a snug size 10! WEE size 6. And I tried on several size 6's and it's a sure thing. They are levi's and I'm not sure if they run large or what but I really don't care.


Following jeans purchase we drove across town for purchase of delicious BBQ from Brushfire Grill. Zoot fell asleep on the drive so Brian went inside and got the food and we ate in the car.

After eating in the car, we drove a few blocks to The Running Shop to get Mama some new running shoes that fit right. I had been running in cross trainers that I bought on sale for 20 bucks...
After being examined and trying on several different pairs of shoes that should work for me and taking runs around the building, I decided on these bad girls:
Mizuno wave something or others. I have never had a real pair of running shoes that I didn't just pick up because they were on sale. I'm beyond excited to try these on my long run tomorrow.

Then we headed home with our treasures and put the baby to bed and watched an episode of HBO's The Pacific and ate some ice cream.

I got up first thing this morning and baked some cookies. Of which I have had none, cookie dough included!

This is the first weekend in a LONG time that it has been just our family chilling all weekend. It was PERFECT.
