Off again!

Where did this week go? I mean, don’t get me wrong, I love that the weekend is here, however somehow it just means that this week was so full is just escaped from me!

This weekend we were going to relax, hang out with friends, unpack (please do not judge me for suitcases still on the bedroom floor… ) maybe even clean the house. However our plans changed again and we are off again! I guess this whole planning trips at the drop of a hat thing is sticking for us. (my poor dog, he thinks we no longer love him!)

We will be driving down to Racine, Wisconsin as soon as Phil and I both get off of work today along with his Mom. Phil’s grandfather has been battling cancer as well as a very bad infection in his knee for a while and now the cancer has spread. We both decided that we wanted to make sure we were able to see his grandparents soon. We will spend the day tomorrow with his family down there and then drive up to Milwaukee to visit my brother who is attending the University of Milwaukee. I am super excited to see his dorm, see where he has classes and have dinner with him. Then after dinner we will drive back up to Minnesota.

Maybe one day we will have nothing to do, for today, I am really glad we can take this time to be with family!

Phil’s first day on the job yesterday went really well! He is super excited to have a huge window in his office overlooking the city of Minneapolis. He sent me a text of it yesterday, and it is beautiful! Sure beats his cubicle with no natural light in his last job! He also said he really likes what he is doing, and feels like this is a good fit for him. I am so thankful for God providing a good job and something he enjoys!

My run yesterday was awesome! I ran a little over half a mile… yes, I know that does not compare to the six-eight I would do before… but hey, you gotta start somewhere! It felt so good to run, and know that I am making progress. As I ran they recorded me and then after we watched it and I was able to see a few things I can change in my running style that will help me prevent injury in the future as well as make my running more effective. I am allowed to walk for the next week and a half, then I will get my training program to get back to running after that. My physical therapist says that though it might be hard, she thinks I will still have enough time to train for the marathon, I just need to be really careful so I do not re-injure!

Hope you all have a great weekend, don’t forget, its Mothers Day on Sunday! 
