As I cited the day before today, I took nowadays off of running--my legs are pretty sore from the race nonetheless (must be those hills!). Jerry became off work, so collectively, we tackled my "miscellaneous" aim for the week: smooth out our bed room closet.
I failed to dispose of as much as i might hoped to, however it changed into first-class to arrange the whole thing. I went thru all my sewing stuff and material, and now i am sort of itching to start a new stitching project. i have a TON of antique sweatshirts and sweatpants that I split with the intention to make into a quilt--no longer due to the fact it'd look adorable, however just think how relaxed a sweatshirt quilt would be!
i have additionally been that means to make a denim handbag out of my antique denims, similar to my cover. i've all the stuff to make it, I simply have not taken the time to plot out a sample. For the following couple of months, i'm going to be running on my memoir every spare second i get, but after that, I can't wait to work on some cunning tasks.

The tea at the store was sweetened with their German Rock Sugar, so naturally I had to get that as properly. I additionally sold a small amount of a white chai to try. The grand total nearly made me faint at $sixty two, but i found a coupon code for $10 off. Very high-priced, but this tea turned into so true that I could drink it as a dessert, and be perfectly glad. In reality, this is going to be my meals purpose for subsequent week--to have tea at night time in place of a snack/dessert.
I already finished my three goals for this week:
meals--now not cross definitely food-loopy in Minnesota. I did suitable with this one, possibly due to the fact i used to be with Renee, who is a very healthy eater. I didn't gain a unmarried pound over the weekend!
health--strive for a sub-2:00 half of-marathon. I feel I put in about eighty five% effort in this one. I let myself get defeated too early, and that i wished I had driven a touch more difficult at the beginning to live with the pacer. however I did not totally throw all goals out the window, I just refigured them as wanted, and that i think I did properly.
Misc--easy out my closet. Did this these days with Jerry.
speaking of my fitness goal, I discovered why my Garmin time and my professional consequences were so one-of-a-kind--i was searching at the gun time, not the chip time. So the effects I posted have been a bit off. I fixed them now, not that it makes a big distinction. My time was 2:08:43 (now not the 2:09:thirteen that I had posted before). Thirty seconds isn't a whole lot, however each 2nd counts ;)
I were given a amusing package inside the mail from a Twitter buddy, Kendall Marie. She had published a photograph some weeks ago of pumpkin seed butter, and i idea it looked notable--i might in no way seen pumpkin seed butter before. She provided to send me a few (from Canada!)--so she sent me the pumpkin butter and blanketed a surprise jar of almond hazelnut butter as well. Yum!
it is so crazy to me that summer has come to an cease (as a minimum in MY sense of the word). jeans and hoodies are right across the corner!
