Happy 4th of July readers and Happy Birthday to the U.S.A! I had a fantastic time at "work" yesterday. I love what I do- and afterward I met up with a couple friends who were also at our Freedom Fest celebration. I was exhausted and decided tonight would be my weekend fun day- barbecue and drinks this afternoon. Yes, please!

Before barbecue and drinks, I'm going for a run. Monday marks exactly 16 weeks until my first big 10-miler race in October. Seeing how close it is really gives me that swift kick in the ass I need to get serious about training- Been really lax lately...that and I'm scared. Not gonna lie. :-)

I put together a 16 week chart for my training plan- I tweaked it from some 12-week chart I found online. I added a few more weeks with mild training days- My way just includes a more gradual adding of mileage per week, if you will. I'll try to post each blog from here on out what the training plan for that day/days was.

Thanks for ALL of your input on a duvet and color scheme. I've decided on one (I think? lol) and I can't wait to start putting the room together!
I'll blog more in the next few days. Have a great rest of the weekend.
