Last night we had small group with our NOT so small group of 20 adults and about the same amount of kiddos! We just started this group through our church about a month ago, and can I just say that I LOVE it! Just a great, fun group of people who love the Lord and love to have fun! We stayed out with the kiddos until 9:30!! Late night for them!!!! But they love playing with friends, old and new! Our study is Andy Stanley's "Don't Waste Your Life" regarding time management, priorities, etc. So awesome and convicting. Redeem your time! Basically trade in your time for valuable, priceless moments. Be consistent! All the little repetitive moments in life provide a cumulative effect that is priceless! Of course, this is mostly regarding spending time with God, family, friends, but also reflects on the day to day as well, like running! Be consistent! Those little improvements over time make big changes!
Yesterday I had a tempo run outside that went fairly well! It is nice getting some of my runs outdoors these days! I started with 1 mile warm up and 5 at average 7:41 pace and then 2 cool down. My left knee was feeling pretty tight this morning. I was debating over an easy run or my scheduled speed workout. I started out 2 miles about 9 min pace and felt pretty good, so I did 4x700m or .4 mile repeats at 6:44 pace with 200m recovery jog and then .3mile at 6:53 with a cool down. Cardiovascular wise, I felt great, but I could feel a few twinges in my knee so I kept things conservative. Stretched quite a bit today and also at 15min yoga for runners video. Tomorrow is a rest day, so hopefully, I'll be back in ship shape by Thursday!
My little buddy turned "2" this past Friday! Where does the time go! I am so proud of him, and I really don't know where he gets his smarts, but the kid can recognize all his letters and out of order at that! He can count to 5! He amazes me! Not sure if this is from big sister, or just pure intelligence. Will have to see! Happy Birthday Buddy! Mommy loves you so very very much!
Have you seen the Lego movie yet?
Any birthdays this month?
What do you do for date night (if you have them)?

What cute birthday pictures :). For date night we usually keep it simple but I like that! Some of my favorite dates have been just going for frozen yogurt and a walk. Sometimes I will make a special meal at home and we will watch a video or something after. Basically we are easy to please and just enjoy time together :). Great pace tempo by the way!!!
Walks and frozen yogurt sound GREAT to me! We usually get out of the house about once a month for something special, but couch time after the kiddos go to bed is the best!
