I love working out in the morning. I'll just say it. When I suck it up and get out of bed and get my workout in before work I feel so good. I feel like the champion of the world. I feel like I can accomplish anything the day throws at me. I feel like I have completed something. I feel good. I like to secretly think that while nearly all the world's population is sleeping- I'm bettering myself and getting stronger and leaner. Happy day.

The Y now has a running group that meets on MWF from 6:00-7:00. It includes pacers for 8, 9, 10, and 11 minute mile folks! Then on Wednesdays you go meet on the track and do hills, thrills, and drills. Wow! I think I might run with them tomorrow. I'll have to bust my booty to get showered and ready for work by 8:00, but I'll give it a shot. This group could be the answer to my running alone problem for this upcoming marathon training. Speaking of which, training begins in 16 days!! Only 2 more Saturdays that I get to sleep in...

Lex brought dinner over to the house last night and hung out for a few hours. It was my last time to get to spend time with her for a long while. She is leaving for Arizona in 2 days. I did pretty good in holding it together while she was at the house, but after she left...yikes. I'm such an emotional gal. I'm just sad. She's been a HUGE part of my life for so long now...I can't believe she won't be a drive-to-the-gym away from me anymore. That's life I guess. I'm super impressed at how well she is handling everything life has thrown at her lately. She's such an amazingly strong person.

Ry and I are going out tonight for our anniversary. Yay! I was trying to think while I was in the shower this morning of someplace I would love to go that we never get to go to...can you guess what it is? Red Lobster! I haven't told the hubby that yet, he's not a fish person, but maybe I can talk him into it. He would like Macaroni Grill. That is yummy but it would REALLY kill my diet. I'll keep you posted on our choice. :)

It feels like Friday today. I wish it was!

TODAY I LOVE: my super cute husband and my Sex and the City soundtrack
