Sexy, not sexy

Oh People magazine, you are so right....Ryan Reynolds is THE sexiest man alive. Possibly ever. Love him. So when I saw this cover staring at me in the store I was one happy gal.
I mean really? Really, is it normal to look this good?
What else is sexy? Rock stars who have been married for 21 years. Oh, like Jon....
In honor of Ryan's new title I had to watch The Proposal today. This movie makes me laugh SO hard.
Sexy-new leopard print shoes
Not sexy-(warning, graphic photo below) my big toenail being so close to falling off. It is not real comfortable to run right now I discovered today. I know, gross right!?

This weekend got to spend some quality girl time with some friends, got in a 3.5 mile run in this morning, and now need to study! That is if I can concentrate after visions of Ryan Reynolds dance in my head.

Productive

Oh yes, it has begun already. Chocolate. Covered. Cherries. Good thing I'm training for this 1/2 marathon since I've been known to eat my weight in these things.
Went for a 6.5 mile run today and didn't stop to walk at all except at the water fountains. I never usually make it that far much less without stopping to walk unless I have a friend there playing drill sargent. I'm not sure if it's that I've been doing strength training or just that the weather is cooler, but I felt great. I certainly haven't been running consistently enough lately to credit it with that. My breathing was great, my legs weren't heavy, I felt like I was in the zone. Of course since finishing and getting home I've felt like death. I was a little worried I was pushing it too far but I felt so good I didn't want to stop. My head is achy and I've felt like puking but hey, made it far without walking.
This weekend my excitement consisted of cleaning my carpets, woohoo!
So I rented a Rug Dr. from the store and went to town.
The living room before.
After moving out all the furniture
Put the couch and chairs in the kitchen. The dogs were confused.

Caylea made herself comfortable
And the after picture. Rearranged the furniture and I think it's a little more cozy now. It's nice to have the carpets done. It's been a pretty productive weekend.

Running shirt ideas?

So I've been thinking of ideas for a custom shirt for the 1/2 marathon next year. Seems like a lot of people have fun making shirts to wear. (and we know how we like our custom Bon Jovi t's and tanks right?) Anyone got any good ideas? Just playing around I came up with this. I was originally just thinking "I run like a girl" but thought the princess was a fun play on the princess marathon.

Back option 1
Back option 2
Back option 3 (too bare I think?)

I think I like the 13.1 on the back along with the date. Just not sure how I like the date format. I think I like option 1 the best. Maybe increase the font size a bit. Very rough planning phases. :) Training has become "official" in that I'm following a plan now. Surprisingly this first week I've felt really good and the thought that has gone through my head as I run has been "Maybe I can really pull this thing off." I have 16 weeks now to add on, oh, only about 10 more miles to my total miles ran.
