Happy Valentine's Day!

I realized earlier that this will be Paul and I's 10th Valentine's Day together. I can still remember the first one 10 years ago, when he was just a guy that I had a crush on. My friend Lindsay and I had a "singles" Valentine's Day party. We had heart shaped pizza's and Paul brought heart shaped sugar cookies from the cake shop that he worked at the time. An entire decade! That seems so crazy to me. We usually don't really do anything special for Valentine's Day anymore, which I'm totally okay with. I hope he brings something home for Elliott though :)

Kim joined the Y last night and we did our run on the dreadmill again. Stephanie wanted to lift weights too, and we usually do, but I was still pretty sore from my TRX workout the day before. I did about 3 machines of upper body and then back extension. Then I saw that there were three treadmills open all next to each other, so Kim and I went over to snag them and Stephanie shortly followed. We had a 5 minute warm up walk (as always) and then 24 minute run. It seemed a lot easier in the beginning than it usually is. We had about 8 minutes left when I started to have that feeling like I wasn't going to be able to finish (even though I always do!). I had dinner a couple of hours before I went, but that was too close to run time. I had about 3 times when I felt a little pukey while running, with those puke-ish burps (or is that just me?). I did fine though.

Today is a rest day and I'm so glad! Elliott and I went to the Dollar Tree earlier and she got a butterfly Valentine's Day balloon, so she is happy! And not puking! I think I'm going to make some brownies for Paul... Let's hope this doesn't end badly!

Puke!

I'm home from work again today. This time it's with a sick little girl :( Yesterday morning she puked a little bit, then seemed fine. She puked again after breakfast ALL over me. She seemed fine the rest of the day, playing as usual. She even ate dinner without an incident. Paul laid her down to sleep in our bed last night and at about 145am she started puking again. It's so sad when she pukes and cries. I rinsed the vomit out of her hair and then she fell back asleep. I was up until about 4am, waiting for her to puke again, but she didn't. I was going to take her to the doctor, but it snowed a lot over night, so I'm going to wait to see if she pukes anymore. If she does, I'll make an appointment for tomorrow.

Other than that, I had my last free session with my trainer yesterday. We did TRX again. I'm sore today, but not even half as sore as I was last time. I did upper body with TRX, then rowed 600 meters on the rowing machine, then did lower body TRX, then we had me do some fartlek training on the track. Those were so hard because my legs felt like noodles! At the end we saw that I had earned enough points to redeem another TRX session, so we set it up for March 2 or 3, I can't remember. I have also earned enough points to do a free month of boot camp, so I'm signing up for his boot camp on Tuesday nights for March.

The other night, was walking by my running shoes and saw something inside of them. This is what I found:

Elliott had filled my shoe with dog food! She is a silly girl!

I have a 24 minute run scheduled for today. With all the snow, it looks like it will most likely be on the dreadmill! I'm not excited! Hopefully we'll have our regular scheduled run outside on Wednesday!
