Great Day!

Long version:
Last night Tyler had two of his friends over for a birthday sleep over. These boys are so cute, I love having a 10yr. old! They watched Napoleon Dynamite and had popcorn, licorice, rice krispy treats and soda. I know, the perfect sleep over treats. I love having Tyler's friends over, they are so nice and polite, they are low maintenance and they don't wake me up in the night!
This morning I didn't run due to weather, so we sleep until 8 (never mind I was up with Patch AGAIN in the night). I looked through "baby" clothes for Patch and Alexa for the upcoming seasons. It was great to get that off my plate.
I then got to go to lunch with my friend Jill. She took me to Cheesecake Factory, one of my favorites! We had such a great visit and it was so nice to be without kids. After lunch she took me for a pedicure. I sadly haven't had one in too long, it was great to be so pampered. I came home and took a short nap, what a way to end a great afternoon.
It didn't end there.
Shauna hit me up to take a run since we didn't go yesterday or today, and seeing as tomorrow is Sunday, we wouldn't get our fix until Monday. I had to take her up on it. I should have known she was going to make me work. I should also state that my running has improved due to a new found desire to run as good as my friends, Connie and Heidi (which I really shouldn't say because Connie reads this and now she will now that I want to be just like her). I made the mistake of telling Shauna that Connie ran a 5K recently and she did it in 26ish minutes and that we should try for that. So, tonight that was our goal. We ran 3.1 miles in 25:49 one of those miles we did in 7:5?. This is totally a new personal best. Don't be fooled, it was hard. I didn't love every second of it and I don't look forward to doing it again, but since I'm competitive with myself I will one day need to beat that time. IT WAS AWESOME! The great thing is, in May Shauna and I were just talking about how we need to work on our speed to get under a 9 minute mile and 3 short months later we did it in under 8!

Short version:
Had fun with Tyler's friends
Slept until 8am
Sorted clothes for Patch and Lexi
Had a fabulous lunch w/ Jill and got pedicures
Ran an awesome 5K in 25:49 w/ one of the miles under 8 minutes
Happy, happy day
