Friday Catch Up

 ~Where have you been~(sang in my best Rihanna voice). lol Too bad you can't actually hear me singing that,because I know you would just love it!!

So, I have been MIA for a little while. Not on purpose life just got a little busy. School is taking over my life and its not fun. I had a mid term to do, work on a research paper, and a group project. Still working on that research paper, not really excited about that. Also I have been training for my 1/2 marathon, so life is a little hectic right now. I have been improving on my running and I'm really excited. I haven't been able to run outside much due to all the rain and cold weather here. So most of my runs have been on the treadmill. Below is a picture of the runs I have recorded on my Nike app. 

Don't pay attention to that second one, it was a scratch. Had to restart the app.

Just two weeks into running and I am getting a little faster. Even the smallest changes make me happy!

Of course you all know yesterday was Valentine's Day. I hope all of you had a great day celebrating LOVE day. A few minutes after I had arrived to work I got a nice delivery to my desk (see below). My husband is currently out of town for work so I really wasn't expecting anything. I was so happy when I saw the flowers and even more excited that he remembered my favorite is Lily Flowers. 

Since my husband wasn't here to celebrate Valentine's Day I thought I would go and surprise my little sister at school with some cupcakes and lunch. I took her a red velvet cheesecake cupcake from Gigi's cupcakes and Chickfila. When she came into the office at school she was very shocked and excited. 

After work I got in my 3 miles for training and it was the fastest I have done since I started training. I was feeling real good after that run and glad to see the improvement. The picture that I posted earlier includes my run from yesterday. I went home to let the dogs out and take a shower. I decided to treat myself to my favorite sushi and it was delicious! I went by myself and I have to say it didn't feel any different than any other day, so I didn't really feel alone. This could be that I sat at the sushi bar and had my back to everyone, so I couldn't see all the love birds around. lol

How cute are those hearts??!!

After leaving dinner I decide to go by the pet store on my way home. After all love day isn't just for humans. I had to pick my furkids up a little something as well. 

Needless to say the pups were very excited about their treats and they didn't last long at all.

That is an update on what has been going on with me in the past week or so. Hopefully I won't take that long of a break from blogging anytime soon. 

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!!
