Toast and Mac N Cheese. Yum!

I am pretty excited because I ran 5 miles this week. I did it it just under 11 minutes/mile. Not as fast as I once was but my pace is better than it has been. When I first started back with running I was much slower. I had a runners high all day long.  I hit up the treadmill at the gym for this run. I have come to realize that the treadmill I use at home is off a bit. It is telling me that I am running slower than I actually am.  This is actually a good thing. I was actually runner farther than I thought. The fact that I can run 5 miles now makes me feel confident that I can train and run a half marathon in May. On my birthday. That is if registration for the race ever opens. My goal for next week is to get some strength training in. My legs were sore after that run. Plus strength training is so important when running.

In other news Isaac has been eating a few finger foods. Other than puffs I mean. He's been eating puffs for a few months now. I made him some toast and he gobbled it right up. He really likes it! Dan made some mac and cheese the other day and we gave some to Isaac. He loved it. In fact he got a little frustrated because it was challenging to pick up. He's get some of it in his mouth and other times it'd slip off his fingers. I tried putting a little bread crumbs on it and that seemed to help some. I also gave him some cooked carrots which he ate and loved. I am excited that he's wanting to feed himself table foods.

I love me some mac and cheese

Some professional news is that I made my yearly commission. I also made my quarterly and monthly commission. So that's pretty awesome. I'd like to get something cool with my big fat bonus check. You know like an i-pad or new computer. But i'm going to be an adult and use it to pay some bills.


Remember when said I put Isaac in the pack n play so I could get some things done. I finally got around to uploading the photos. I'll just share one. Gosh I love this little boy.


I'm getting kind of annoyed with people telling me that Isaac must be teething because he's drooling and chewing on everything. Guess what? He's been drooling and teething since he's been like 3 months old. He'll get teeth when he's good and ready.

Tomorrow I am heading to a baby shower for my co-worker and friend who had a baby a little over a month ago. It's kinda neat that our kids are less than a year apart. They'll be buds for sure!


How has your week been? Are you excited for the weekend? Any big plans?

  3. Congrats on meeting your commission! And getting some runs in ;) Our treadmill says is it slower than it is too. I think that is part of the reason I prefer to run outside ;)

    LOL - re: people saying Isaac is teething. It seems everyone has their opinions on babies!!!!

    Have fun at the shower!

  4. People just like to have a comment. Charlotte has two teeth coming in and she started chewing on her hand after breakfast, so everyone had to tell me that she was still hungry. Congrats on meeting your commission!
