Marathon training officially begins today! And what am I doing instead of running? ...Blogging. Brilliant.
Mike is super pissed that I got him up this early, but we have to be on the road to Williamsburg by ten, so we gotta start running early in the AM to beat the heat and get ready for our trip. I'm officially on vacation for the rest of the week-- my boss actually had to sit me down and have a talk with me about how I shouldn't check email while I'm away, blah blah. I get it, I shouldn't work on vacation. But I'll seriously get about 80 emails a day while I'm out, so I'd honestly much rather sort through them once a day than sort through hundreds of them when I return! But other than that, I am a FREE woman! Huzzah! I'm spending the week at home at my parent's house, doing a lot of wedding planning stuff. My mom has been telling me since Mike and I got engaged how important this week is, so when I asked her a few days ago what sort of things she had in mind, she mentioned that she'd "really like to go blueberry picking." Alright, Mom, but I thought we had SO much to do for the wedding! (In the interest of full disclosure, I have honestly no idea how to plan a wedding or what it is that we are supposed to do. Fortunately she sent me a very detailed email yesterday about hunting for invitations, make-up artist, etc.)
Okay, we're off to run. I sort of ran out of body glide, so hopefully the blisters don't come out in full force-- I already got a weensy one yesterday. I'm long overdue for new running shoes, so that's another project for this week. We will keep you posted on the success of our run today!

Hope you were able to beat the heat! What's going on in Williamsburg? Let me give you a tip about wedding planning: don't forget that the most important thing is being married to your best friend...the rest is just gravy. It drives me crazy when women say their wedding day was the best/most important day of their lives...really? You have nothing else to look forward to because you've reached the pinnacle of your life? I think you should be looking forward to spending the rest of your lives together, not just focused on that one day. Just my opinion. :)
ReplyDeleteHaha well, I'm very excited for both my wedding AND being married to Mike. I figure, after the wedding, the Navy will sort of take over our lives for a while. So I look at the wedding as the last hurrah, in a way. It's the last thing that can really be ours and ours to create as we see fit. (And also the honeymoon, which is the other thing I'm very excited for.) But since Mike's greatest stake in the wedding is the coffee maker that we register for, and since I have no idea what I'm doing, the wedding itself is a project that has been sort of commandeered by my mother. Since I'm the last kid that's getting married, it's sort of her last hurrah, too!
