Ten on Tuesday

1. Went running today with my new running shoes!! It is finally nice out again. My shin splints are getting better but still were hurting today. When I run again, I have to make sure to wear my compression socks.

2. Talked to the BFF in Minnesota today, Ali. I can always count on her to call me with the most inappropriate stories. I was laughing so hard. Oh the things girls talk about. The boys don't even know.

3. Decided to sign up for private archery lessons!! SUPER excited. Ahryon didn't think I was serious when I told him. Silly man. After reading The Hunger Games and seeing the previews for it, I remembered how much I loved (and was actually good at) archery in Girl Scout camp. Yes I realize it was a million years ago, but whatever. I found a great place close by with decent prices for private classes and they provide the equipment. The people that teach it are former Olympic medalists in Archery. And I can if I want, take some of the classes at the Olympic Training Center in San Diego. How freaking cool is that? Maybe someday I will be an Olympic archery medalist!

4. Speaking of archery, I already found the bow I want. It's pink. Duh.

5. I cleaned our bathroom last night. There is seriously nothing better than a clean bathroom. 

6. This week I am buying a plane ticket to fly to Minnesota!!! I will be coming home May 4th thru the 7th. Clara Hall's wedding is on the 6th, and I CANNOT WAIT!!!

7. I can't stop eating bread. Seriously! It is a huge problem!! I buy baguettes and in less than 2 days the entire thing is GONE. I am so addicted.

8. This is my favorite thing to eat after running. Like ever.

That's right, hardboiled eggs. And it is good for you, after a work out. But I only like them when they are still warm. If they are cold the texture grosses me out and I end up gagging on them. Just slice em up, a little salt and pepper, and yum yum!! My favorite thing to eat BEFORE a workout is strawberries. They are full of energy and carbs! It seriously makes a huge difference in how I feel during a workout. My sister swears by them too. She was telling me that when she was running in the Grandma's Marathon in Duluth, MN, they were offering gel packs and fruit chews and she took strawberries and had instant energy!!

9. I really need to get all my Christmas/St Pat's and other holidays decorations organized. I need rubbermaid boxes and stuff. The stuff is taking over our front closet and back closet. If Ahryon had his way, it would be thrown away by now. Too bad buddy, you live with a woman now, you don't have a choice whether or not there is decorations.

10. 3 more days until The Hunger Games premiere!!!! AHHH!!!
