Photo of the day: lunch with friends

This picture is supposed to be "lunch with friends" but in reality it's dinner with friend. Alaina came over to a hangout with me while Alex is shunned to the basement working. 

We reheated left over chicken and noodles and opened a bottle of wine to enjoy. Happy Thursday! 

Photo of the day: walk with Moose

When I get home from work I usually (try) to take Moose on a walk around the block. That way Alex gets a small break from his 24/7 Moose-care. Tonight our walk was interrupted by a pack of taunting squirrels and a neighbor dog. It was a case of who's walking who....

Photo of the day :cup of chai

My work schedule is very inconsistent and weird, to say the least. So, I try to enjoy the mornings of my later days (today I work from 2-8pm) and get some work done. I run errands, blog and today I get to enjoy a nice, hot cup of chai. For Christmas my parents gave us a milk frother and it has really improved my lattes, I recommend everyone add one to their coffee bar. Just look at that fluffy milk!

Happy Tuesday.

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!
