The Long Weekend Awaits...Almost...

It's Thursday before a holiday weekend, which means I have no motivation.  Boo.  Only another day+ at work and I'm free for 3 glorious days!!!

I figured today I would join up with Caroline with Thoughts on Thursday!

1.  Megan@ Watch Mego Run is having a giveaway from something awesome...especially if you're a runner!  Go check it out!!

2.  I just wanted to state that I have the best husband I could ever ask for.  He's perfect for me.  On my birthday, he surprised me with a birthday dinner after leading me to believe we were going to his softball game instead.  He even dressed in his uniform, knowing that he'd be sitting in it all through dinner.  He had friends there to meet us.  It was super awesome and he's the best!
The two who orchestrated it.

3.  My friends also rock my socks!  We had many of our friends join us for a Tuesday night dinner at Kobe Steakhouse and for fro-yo afterwards!  We haven't had a big group dinner in a while, so it was amazing!  I've been missing my friends!

4.  I'm SOOOO excited about the long weekend!!!  There will be a little of:

and a little of:

What could be better??

5.  My 27 at 27 got knocked off a little because of our rush to get to the softball game dinner, so I missed running on Tuesday, but I ran Monday 6.2 miles and Wednesday 5 miles in 46:55 during lunch!  Plus, and extra 1/2 mile last night.  So, I'm up to 11.7 miles right now leaving 15.3 to go by Sunday.  I can do it!

6.  Marathon training officially starts June 4, so one week from Saturday I start killing my body ha.  No, no, I kid...kind of.  The first month isn't bad, we're up to 10 miles every weekend and then it jumps from there.  I'm ready.  Let's do the darn thing!

7.  Here's an awesome deal for you runners out there:
June 1st is National Running Day and the Rock N Roll Marathon series is giving great discounts on races!  I'm a little sad I registered early now, but's what a girl to do besides pick another race??  Anyway, on June 1st you can register for a race and the discounts are as follows:
Save: $26 on any marathon
Save: $13 on any half
Save: $10 on any 10K
Save: $5 on any 5K

Awesome!  Now go do it!  I hear there's some awesome people running Savannah too, so that's a race to look into!

Happy Almost Weekend!!!

OMG, I saw we START at 10 miles. No easing us into training there. Sheesh! Guess I'll be bringing my Camelback right away after all.

I can't wait to start training! I'm ready for these long runs. I think. Remind me of this in July when we are running 14+ miles.

Have a FUN weekend!!
