happy friday kittens!
so i know i have been consumed (aka OCD) about the house these past three plus weeks, but yesterday i decided it was time to pop the “it’s all about the house” bubble and do something solely for myself!
so i ran…
my first run in TWENTY-SIX DAYS mind you.
i had it in my head that it was about three weeks — wrong! more like almost FOUR weeks!
so needless to say i was scared shitless to get out there because i just didn’t want to face the reality that i had regressed and needed to work my way back up to a decent pace again.
surprisingly that wasn’t the case.
i had a really good run. i felt no pain, my breathing felt regulated (even with my new hood being loaded with hills — seriously no matter which way i run i am running uphill at some point!), and i was pleasantly surprised at my pace. even back a month ago when i was hard core training that would be a good pace for me.
granted i only ran two miles (although i felt i could’ve run longer and would have if i didn’t have to be somewhere) — i am sure my endurance mileage wise has suffered with no running for a month.
but i have five weeks until the princess half and i am pretty confident that i can rebuild the endurance by then as long as i hard core train these next five weeks!
now that the major moving and decor/painting are done i can concentrate on running and working out again!
YAY!!!
oh but i do have to post this ONE thing house related…
we received our first housewarming gift yesterday…
it’s perfect and we love it!
(ps. the “house of du” is our foursquare check-in name for the new house and a tribute to our favorite chinese restaurant and scorpion bowl headquarters the house of wu! hehehe!)
thank you liisa and glenn xxoo!
oh and i got dean a little housewarming gift too…
YUP — his own scorpion bowl with volcano spout for the rum!
dean LOVES scorpion bowls — now i just need to find a good recipe that compares to the house of wu’s!
anyone know any????

well — that’s all she wrote for friday.
tonight we have our first family movie night with the younger kids — we are starting pixar theory and will be watching “brave”!!!
if you are unfamiliar with what pixar theory actually is and have a few minutes to kill… watch this!
(i haven’t watched it in full so if it sucks or has spoilers i apologize!)
happy weekend!
peace, love and margaritas,
cyn
