This week Landon and I started our pre-marathon training program. We ran three times, did a little cross-training at the gym and then tomorrow we have our long run--four miles. I know it sounds silly because we're training to run 26 miles, but right now 4 miles feels FAR! That can't be a good thing! Oh well, I guess that's why we're starting early...
Landon and I have never worked out together much, but it's quickly becoming SO obvious who's the more athletic one in this marriage (and it ain't me) which I think is incredibly unfair given that of the two of us I'm the one that's much more likely to opt to go work out or run or walk the dogs etc, on any given day (marathon training excluded, of course). Anyway, I'm just going to have to work extra hard and run on days that he doesn't, and get the little voice in my head that keeps telling me that I will never be able to keep up with him, to just go away! :)
Other than the addition of nightly workouts into our schedule, life around our house has been rockin' along as usual. Things are a little insane at work for me right now and a little turbulent for Landon right now, but all is good. And the working out has helped with the stress, which is always a good thing.
This past week Landon was working at home a lot more than out of town, which was a treat for us. We got to watch 24 and House together, work out together, try out some new recipes and just hang out at night. All the little things I used to take for granted. And, he helped me clean the house by doing the vacuuming--which I HATE. It was so romantic. :) Seriously.
This weekend we also saw a couple of good movies--we rented Eagle Eye on Friday night, which we had wanted to see in the theaters and never did--and tonight we saw Taken (thanks Lauren for the gift card!!) on the recommendation of Michael and Ashlee. I would definitely recommend both if you like those kinds of movies, which we do.
It's been a good weekend so far and I'm looking forward to church, lunch with friends and a wedding shower tomorrow. And our four mile run. It will be a full day, but it should be a nice one.
And then, I'm on the countdown...
One week until TAKS (and the day I can go back to actually teaching reading and writing--woohoo!), two weeks until the Dancing With The Stars season starts and three weeks until Spring Break!
We are so blessed and have so much to look forward to!
