This is the 4 of us after we all ran our races. It was a perfect day!
Kristin and Carrie did the 1/2 marathon and got the cool medals.... they have the arch in it that was what you ran through running towards the finish line.
And this is that arch. This came out SO cool. Just as the sun was rising the day of the race. The finish line was filled with flags.
Friday, after driving to CT, we went to the expo & got our bib #'s and all the goodies. Then we checked out the park and the start and finish lines.
We really did have a great weekend away. It was just nice to get out of town and do something different with the girls. We have fun and it was a great experience. I'm really proud of my 2 friends for finishing the 1/2 marathon.
After Jill and I finished the 5K, we grabbed a few things at the car then started along the 1/2 marathon course. It was taking longer than we expected to get where we wanted to and we ended up stopping just after mile 12. I sat at that spot for about an hour cheering on the runners. It was really cool!
I knew that it was a hilly course. After I found out that they had no more up hills from that point on, I started yelling that out too. First it was all "Great job!" "You're doing Great!" "Looking Good!" Then I started yelling, "it evens out, then goes downhill! No more up hill!" People starting thanking me! :) One woman said it was the best news she heard all day. They were all cheering when I yelled it out! SO funny! :)
The ride back was long but it was a nice break on Saturday afternoon when I got home. That night I went out with the boyfriend for dinner, then we just chilled at his house. Sunday we took his dog for a walk, then watched the Pats game.
Makes me laugh, cuz this weekend it was like we turned into an old married couple. Not sure how that one happened! :) We ate dinner at the bar on Saturday and left there around 8pm. When we got back to his house, he wanted to play his game online. So he was in the other room doing that and I was in the living room watching tv with the dog.
On Sunday, after walking the dog, he was cranky. He left and went out to pick up a few things he needed at Home Depot. I washed his dishes and picked up his kitchen. After football, he was back online for a few and I was in the living room on his laptop, watching tv.
Kills me! LOL! :) How'd we get that comfortable that quick?
But I think I must be stressed out about something. I've been having really bad nightmares again. Two nights ago it was the Mexican Drug Cartel that was after me, trying to kill me and last night it was the Mafia. Making it hard to get a good night sleep when I've having these crazy nightmares.
Last night, at one bad point in the nightmare, it woke me up. Just then, the boyfriend put his arms around me, wrapped me up tight and held me close. THAT made me feel SO much better. I was so upset and scared when I woke up. Having him hold me like that really made me feel so much better.
Things are still great with him and me.... even if we are acting like an old married couple right now. :) But it is so fun and we always have such a great time together, no matter what we do. I love him. I so happy with him and can't imagine not having him in my life. I feel so lucky that I found him.
I love that I have my apartment, my own space and my own stuff, but I really don't like sleeping here anymore. Right now I'm home. My cats have been running around me, snuggling and then fighting. But they are fine that I am not here overnight. I spend about 45 minutes hanging out in the morning before I get in the shower, then after work too. Before the boyfriend, I think I spent less time sitting at home.
But now.. time for me to get ready to go running. :)
