Now that these updates are closer to the actual date that I'm typing this, my memory is getting better! Maybe.
February 12 - February 18
Day 43: 6.21
Miles - MS had to work this morning, so I got a Sunday 10k in. It was awesome! I rested for a bit before I started really cleaning my apartment like crazy. I had a pre-move walk through of my unit set for the next day. He came over after work to help me. It was crazy, but got a lot done!
Day 44: 0
Miles - No running. It was really I first day of looking for a place to move to ... in person. And it sucked! Then lucked presented itself. During my pre-move walk through the Assistant Manager of my apartment complex told us that there was a drop in rent for a unit in the size that we're looking for. We talked about it between the two of us before we went to the office to get more info. So we ended deciding that we should take it.
Day 45: 0 Miles - It was Valentine's Day! And what MS did was apply to be a resident in my apartment complex. Nothing romantic or cute or gushy. No flowers. I already knew that he's been so busy and tired that he wasn't going to do anything for me. So I'll take the fact with him applying to be a resident counted as a romantic thing because this will be our first place together!
Day 46: 0
Miles - Rest Day for sure!
Day 47: 0 Miles
- Nothing done.
Day 48: 0
Miles - Rest Day!
Day 49: 0
Miles - All I remember is working. Boo!

2017 OMaD - Week 6
February has been a wasteland of no running and lots of stress!
February 5- February 11
Day 36: 0 Miles - Rest Day! I have no clue what I did that day other than sleep.
Day 37: 3.15 Miles - A nice 5k. My legs still ached from the race and whatever plagues them. I'm wondering if it's not my running shoes, since they were new right before my marathon in December, but rather my insoles I wear in my everyday non-running shoes. Looks like I need to buy a new pair! Blast my flat feet!
Day 38: 0 Miles - I have no clue what I did this day!
Day 39: 0 Miles - Rest Day for sure!
Day 40: 0 Miles -Nothing done. Maybe a kettlebell workut.
Day 41: 0 Miles - Rest Day!
Day 42: 0 Miles - I think this may have been the weekend that I was burning out. There's been stress to get wedding stuff done on top of finding a place to live with my fiance plus work and so much more.
Total Miles this week: 3.15 Miles

2017 OMaD - Week 5
Finally into February! And I had a race!
January 29 - February 4
Day 29: 8.01 Miles - I remember wanting to try to get to 9 miles or as close as possible so that I could feel that I was ready or not for the 15k race at the end of the week. It was a good run and I felt great and confident. I went to work the rest of the day, and it wasn't bad. However, my knee has been aching and I feel like shin splints are developing.
Day 30: 0 Miles - Rest and it felt so good!
Day 31: 4.01 Miles - I don't think I ran this day.
Day 32: 0 Miles - Rest Day for sure!
Day 33: 3.12 Miles - A solid 5k, with a bit of difficulty. Nothing to be worried about.I had the day off so my Mom and I went down to Fair Park to get our packets for the Hot Chocolate Run!
Day 34: 0 Miles - Rest Day!
Day 35: 9.40 Miles - Hot Chocolate 15k! I did an awesome job! My finish time was sub-01:50:00, which was the goal. Running buddy HC ran with me. It was a great morning! MS didn't make it down cause he had worked a 50hr week so far, and I "gave" him the morning off to rest. I had to pop into work for a little bit, but it was a really good day! My Garmin said I ran a 9.40, which is not to bad considering the 1k distance 9.3
Total Miles this week: 20.53 Miles

2017 OMaD - Week 3
This has been a crazy week! Exciting yet crazy!
January 15 - January 21
Day 15: 0 Miles -No running today! Wedding things to do! My fiance and I met with a potential photographer. She was really fun and awkward like we are, and we loved her style. After that we had lunch with my friends (wedding party), my mom, my sister and my new sister-in-law (my dad and aunt were receiving text messages). Then it was dress shopping! Aaah! We had fun. I had a style in mind, but we found a style that was even prettier on me. I was torn between two dresses because of their different elements. So I needed to sleep on it. My hubby-to-be meet us at my parents house for dinner before we headed home. It was a crazy day. It felt weird to be in the spotlight, but it was fun. I was constantly thinking about what dress I liked better. At least we had decided that we were going to book the photographer!
Day 16: 0 Miles - I was exhausted this morning. I didn't stay up late, but it was all from yesterday's festivities! I met up with my mom and we discussed dressed. I finally figured out what I wanted - basically a combo of the two from Sunday. By default I knew I may be able to get one of the dresses in a different color, but it had to be looked into. We called around to other salons to find other places to go to next Sunday. No one had openings except for one place, Terry Costa, because they don't do appointments. My mom and I decided that we could stop by and look around at the prices to see if there was anything worth while. Basically, what you do there is sign in and your name is added to a dressing room wait list. You're also given a hanging spot before they let you loose to find your own dresses to try on. When it's your turn in a dressing room, a stylist will take your dresses and help you while they help others too. The first dress was almost what I was looking for. It was inexpensive! But I wasn't feeling it. So I tried one on that was similar but more of what I was looking for material-wise. At first I wasn't sure about some elements. Then a veil was added and I walked on this little stage back and forth and looking at myself... and I started crying. I liked it a lot. I tried on a third dress just to be sure, and it was pretty but it wasn't it either. I liked the other. I had six other dresses to possibly try on, but I wanted to try on the second dress again. Yeah, I liked it. I could've ordered a new one, but the one I had on would've fit almost perfectly if it wasn't for a broken zipper. Because of that zipper they offered it to me at a lower price ($340 lower price). There is about 4 inches of seam in the bodice that can be used to fix the zipper and make it fit better in the chest. Plus, the veil was discounted too. So. I said "Yes, to the dress" and had my picture taken with my mom. We walked home with a dress! Now, I need to shop for undergarments!
I called my and texted my bridesmaids and maid of honor to let them know!
Day 17: 0 Miles - No running today, but I did a kettlebell workout and push ups to make up for it.
Day 18: 0 Miles - Definitely a rest day!
Day 19: 3.15 Miles - All I can remember is that it was on the treadmill!
Day 20: 0 Miles - Nada.
Day 21: 0 Miles - Nope. Memory gone!
