Almost Friday

This week has been super busy at work but that means it's been making the days fly by. How is it already Thursday? This week has also been full of working out since when my mom was here she talked me into running a Half Marathon with her. I'm not quite sure what I was thinking when I said yes, but so beginth the training!

Tuesday I played pickup on the mall which was really fun. I was playing really well and the weather was just perfect out (see picture). Wednesday night my co-worker and I hit up our work gym - she ran and I did the bike for 30 minutes. Then my wonderful sister came over and brought dinner for us to eat and hang out. Tonight I'm taking a day off because it's Foreign Film Night with some of my co-workers. Tomorrow I'm hoping to hit up the gym again and then hopefully biking Saturday if it's not raining, and then soccer game on Sunday like usual.

The only question now is what race to run. I'm thinking the National Half Marathon is a good choice, it's in late March so it won't be too hot out. It's in DC so I won't have to travel (just my mom). Only problem is my mom wants a flat course which this course isn't. Maybe I can talk her into it.

I've been going a bit Groupon crazy this month - I got the deal for Whole Foods (which I used the next day) for $10 for $20, the US Weekly year subscription for $30, and I used my Pete's Apizza deal this week for lunch on the day that it expired. Nothings worse than buying a Groupon and not using it.

Today's Jersey Day at work (every Thursday during football season is Jersey Day) and I'm sporting my DC United jersey. People keep asking me if I'm going to the game tonight because I'm wearing the jersey. I respond back that I'm wearing a jersey cause it's Jersey Day and I think they think I'm nuts since I'm the only wearing a jersey today. Oh well.

Weekend Recap

Even though it's already Wednesday, I have been slacking and need to update everyone on the latest happenings in my life. This weekend the boyfriend and I went to the Auto Show, which was so much fun we had to jump for joy.


We met Gheorghe Mureşan there (George Muresan for you Americans), who is 7'7" and used to play in the NBA. Not only is he ridiculously tall, his hands were ridiculously big. Each finger alone was like 3 of my fingers. He was also super nice, friendly, and seemed genuinely happy to be there. He struck up a conversation with us about the cars at the show. I was nervous so I didn't say anything, but the boyfriend was chatting away. For the record, Gheorghe said he would only drive an electric car.

Another recent happening is that I finally got around to ordering myself some kickboxing gloves. I no longer have to borrow the icky, smelly, gross ones from the gym. I went with red, cause it's classic, and bought these on Amazon while using my $10 for $20 LivingSocial deal I bought a few weeks back.

Don't Know What's Come Over Me

Wednesday night was the start of my winter soccer outdoor league. If you asked me last year at this time if I thought I would be playing an outdoor soccer game in January I would have told you I was crazy. Without really realizing what I signed up for, our game lasted 80 minutes (I'm used 60-70 minute games), there were no subs for the girls, I was playing mid-field aka running the entire time, and we had to play a man down. It was quite brutal, but so much fun at the same time.

To top it off, my co-worker Amy told me she was going to the lunchtime kick-boxing class on Friday and asked if I wanted to join. For some reason that I still don't understand I said yes. Now it's Friday afternoon, and I am so sore, but feel great. What has come over me?!?!
