I only got 6 miles under my belt for running this week (82 miles for the year). I'm okay with that though...
I actually got out on my bicycle out on the roads and I LOVED IT!! Satruday I did 17 miles and Sunday I did 23 for a total of 40 miles over the weekend, and 115 for the year.

Seeds of Yumminess
So I ordered my seeds online today for my garden. I ordered spinach, red beets, white and purple kohlrabi, red romaine lettuce, arugella, carrots, cucumbers and sweet peas. I forgot to order zuchinni, but I'm also planning on getting tomotoes and peppers (to try to start inside), so I will get the zuchinni seed then. I'm very excited to get my garden going again. The joy of bringing in a fresh tomato that has been warmed by the sun and eating it. YUM!!
I also plan on signing up for a CSA, community supported agriculture. I think I will go to this one: http://www.bloomingglenfarm.com/
A woman that does yoga with me works there. I give them $780 and 4 hours of my time over the summer and in return I get fresh, local produce once a week. Sounds good to me!! I just have to make sure that I have money in my account before I sign up.
I haven't run over the past two days, and won't have time to run tonight due to class. but Saturday I logged 10 miles and Sunday I logged 12, so I'm up to 76 miles for the year. Its slow, but I'm getting there. The summer is when I really plan to rack the miles up.
Oh and the wedding!! We have decided to have the reception on June 25th. I have to call to book the place. Hayley, my mom and I are making the cake. I think it will be fun-fetti flavored iwth butter cream icing. I don't know what we're doing about food. I don't really care about food. I care about desserts more. So perhaps brigning some cookies, and some cereal treats in? I don't know yet. But the date of the reception has been selected, and that makes me HAPPY!

Kayaking, running, and warm weather, Oh MY!
Today, the weather men are calling for an extremely beautiful day with a high around 50 degrees!! I am loving the beginning of spring!!
On Super Bowl sunday, Chris and I went to his parents for a party. His sister and sat and talked about babies, and how good Chris seems to be at about everything he does. She then said " you think that's bad, Doug (her hubby) can go out and run a half marathon , or a marathon without training", Which I said "Yeah, I can do that, too" which she said, "yeah but you train all the time".
Now there are a few problems here. One of which, is that I don't think running a half marathon is that big of a deal. I also don't think that Doug is that impressive, and it takes A LOT to impress me with running. So while I was out on a run yesterday (after not running for over two weeks), I felt pretty goo.d . And I decided to test my theory out to see if a half marathon really isn't that big of a deal. So I ran 15 miles, on three girl scout cookeis (lemonades, to be exact) and half a glass of water. I was only planning on being out for an hour or so. So I have proven my point to myself. I have shared this with my parents and Chris. This was STRICTLY for my own knowledge. So I'm pretty happy.
So where am I with my goals?
Running - add another 15 miles. I'm at 54 miles for the year
Biking I'm still at 75 miles.
I am making it to my yoga 3 or more times a week.
This weekend, my dad and I went kayaking at the pool. He's doing really well at learning his roll. I think its so neat that he's trying this. He'll have it in no time at all!!.

Warmer Weather, Happy thoughts
Weather on the East coast is starting to warm up. I'm really i such a better mood. I really think the weather has been keeping my mood down for awhile. As soon as one storm would pass, another would roll in. Well, today, at 8 am the temperature was 35 degrees. That means the snow is melting and the roads are clearing up!!
I spent two hours on the trainer last night. Two hours = twenty miles, so I'm up to 75 miles on the bike this year. slow and steady.
On Sunday, we belayed for my sister-in-law's step son's birthday party. And then we climbed on our own. I did awesome, and had a great time. I feel like I'm really starting to come into my own as a climber.
And the three muskateers. This is after my climb and I was so excited to have finished the climb, I felt the need to show off my muscles.
