half marathon training update

The race is in 19 days! Today we ran 10 miles and it felt (mostly) good. Fall has decided to make an appearance, so it was cool, but we still managed to get sweaty. After our vacation we fell off the training band wagon, so this was our first long run....we skipped 8 and 9 miles. We're doing well for the most part, no injuries (knock on wood), I need new shoes, mine are wearing out and I'm pretty sure Alex is beginning to like running. He hasn't threatened to push me down any hills lately. We have 2 more long runs and then it'll be time for the race. Wish us luck!

Today I took a picture of some of our fall decor...there are too many options of fall decor in our society, so I just took advantage of my collection. It's not super fall-y but, there's a pumpkin involved. The candle was at my Grandparent's house for as long as I can remember and now I get to enjoy it here. The crocheted 'Williams' was a wedding gift and the pumpkin was a Hobby Lobby find. Oh, and Alex's Dad made the shelf (he's quite handy)! What kind of fall decorations do you have?

Sunday mornings before church Alex and I tend to do our own thing. He wakes up early to drink his coffee, read the news and to catch up on his sports teams. I like to lay in bed and snuggle with Moose until its time for our Sunday morning jog. Moose isn't necessarily the best runner with two people, but with me he does great. So, Sunday is our running day. This morning the weather was perfect: brisk, breezy and sunny.

Happy Sunday!
