Sick Again

I'm so excited to report that I am sick again (note sarcasm).  I finally recovered from whatever funk I had last week to wake up on Saturday morning unable to breathe through the snot in my brain. So that was exciting news. But did I let it stop me? NEVER.  haha.  So Saturday brought about amazing news..


I GOT A ROAD BIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And here the beaut is....so freaking pumped!!!!




Saturday was a day of rest, and a day to celebrate love with my cutie pie.  So we hung our new microwave up above our stove (this took way longer, and was much more frusterating than anticipated.)  Went and got my V-Day gift ;), went out for mexican food...MY FAV, and then saw the new movie "How to be Single" which was quite funny.  From there I went on to have a sleepless, coughing night and waking up early to run a short 15 miles with my buddies in running group.  I know you all probobly think this was a dumb idea beacause I am sick, but you know what running outside actually makes me feel better.  Also, I cannot fail to mention that I got a PR on Sunday for my furthest run...EVER!!! Beautiful view before our run.

Monday brought with it a nice long swim, 2x1000 meters, and Tuesday was an hour long bike, of which I boosted up my level to a 13 and watched the bachelor on my phone! 

I hope you all are feeling healthier than me, and are staying positive as their is talk of a sunny weekend, and maybe the potential chance of getting to ride my new bike outside. (With a helmet, mother).
