Marathon & Craft Update

Spring break! YAY! Well at least it is one less thing to juggle on my plate this week because all in all I have been very busy. The training is coming along and I am feeling stronger each week. Saturday I ran 12 miles! Now the downside is that I was STARVING at the end. So bad I was craving salt. I went to the extreme to even eat a spoonful of salt when Xiomara and I got to breakfast. It sounds crazy but now I completely understand cravings, I mean all I longed for was salt. It's hard to explain.
Tuesday night was hills. I ran 20 times up a steep hill! I know 20, no big deal, well let me tell you. The next day I felt pain in places I could not explain.
Wednesday was track night and I got a run for my money on that too. I think I sounded like a dead dog towards the end because of all the panting I was doing. I was TIRED and yes the next day I was also SORE.

Well as for the rest of the week, well I HAVE been SUPER busy. I made invitations to a Hannah Montana inspired birthday/movie. I also made a cute frame to match. I figured I would add it in because after all the invitations are sent out the birthday girl is left with nothing. So I made a cute frame with all the invitation information and a place for a picture. I also added some confetti to match and be put inside the invites. Genius, well I thought!
I have also been busy making crafts for a Kid's Festival our Team in Training is hosting in April. So for my one week off from work I think I can say I have done the following:
crafted, trained, hosted a great lunch with great friends(which I have made 4 days in a row for my hubby), worked on grad school, caught up on some chisme (gossip), celebrated a friend's birthday, made invites, made thank you cards, ran a million errands, shopped for some cute running shorts & jelly beans, crafted some more and had some GREAT long over-due conversations with myself and God. I think that sums it up. Phew I am tired and need a break from my break, at least 2 weeks, please.
