best husband ever

jay came home from work the other day and brought me a lil surprise...


a bag of goodies from LULULEMON!!
he must have been feeling pretty guilty because back in december at the Las Vegas Rock & Roll Marathon he was holding my one and only lululemon jacket...

 and he set it down to snap some pre race pictures, like this....

we hit the porta potties a little ways away and when i realized it was missing we hustled back to the fence where he set it and it was gone!!  seriously like not even ten minutes had gone by!!
the nerve of some people, my sister and i kept looking for it in the crowd but no such luck:(
so anyways he had a meeting in portland the other day and picked out these for me
in white.

in bright pink.

in black.
isn't he the best!! it all fits but i think i might exchange the black long sleeve for a pair of capri pants or a skirt.
thanks babe love ya:)

yeah or neigh??

to blog or not to blog that is the question...

i'm trying to decide if i should start blogging again.  i really enjoyed putting together a post and taking pictures for the blog but it takes so dang long and i don't know if anyone besides my sister even reads it!!
i guess i need to remember that i'm doing it for me, to stay motivated and accountable for my workouts.
since my last post some things that i've accomplished....

~ran a twenty mile run in 3:23 with my sister,bff, and running partner alisha~



~pr'd in the portland half marathon by 15 minutes 1:58!! and i got to cheer on alisha as 
she pr'd in the full marathon!~

~did a 10k turkey trot with my family on thanksgiving morning~

~ran with cely from runningoffthereeses and then had breakfast with her and skinnyrunner along with some other pretty cool guys chris and ben~

~and last but not least, 
finished and pr'd in my third full marathon, Las Vegas Rock & Roll
