Running Life-
This past Saturday (not yesterday but the one before that!)I traveled to Houston for the UH Indoor Track Meet. I was entered for the 3k and so very excited to hopefully run a PR and see everyone there! SFA was going and also I would get to see Amy Shack (and old teammate) who was in my heat and my future in-laws! 

This is on the starting line...Lauren (my roomie) is the first one nearest the inside, Amy in the royal blue top, and I am in the neon green top with the blue shorts. 

Now I love running 3k's to begin with so I was excited to get back on the track and see what I could do this year! It was chalk full of competition and the front girls were not messin around. My final time was 9:42 which was about a 20 second PR!

The race was followed the next morning by an 18 mile run which was an entry to my first ever 80 mile week!

This coming weekend I will be going to college station to run the mile at the A&M Indoor track (don't even get me started, if you have read my past few blogs you will know how I feel about that place) And the exciting part is all of the TEAM GREEN Girls will be there running, can't wait to run with ya'll girls! 

Tuesday was my first official day as Graduate Assistant at the SFA Registrar's office! Its nice to have steady hours and a job to go to, still learning the ropes though. No judging but I love answering the phone and actually knowing the answer to peoples questions!

Axe 'em Jacks!

Weekend Adventures: 

Friday night Steph and I had a date night at the student center! Tower Heist was playing and we decided a $1 movie was too good a deal to pass up ;)

(We actually took quite a few picts like this, we got there 30 mins early and had time to kill lol)

Steph and apparently everyone else in the theater loved the movie, I on the other hand thought it was just alright. Here is the trailer, see if it sparks your interest. 

Today Adam and I wanted to do something new and different after church so we went for a bike ride and got some ice cream at Marble Slab :)

So there is a somewhat quick sum up of my past week, here is to a better blogger next week!

P.S- Here is something that I have been loving these past few weeks that I wanted to share!

Baked Sweet Potatoes!

Cut them up, pour a very little of evoo and sprinkle them with salt, and pepper and bake in the oven till soft. They are soo amazing!! Good for a lunch or side of dinner.
