A&M Mile and Valentines Day

So yesterday was the big day....the one February day of the year that you either look forward to with great anticipation or dread from the bottom of your core! Ok, maybe that is a bit drastic but some people do have some pretty strong feelings about Valentines Day.... 

Here is a letter that I found that some kid wrote to their mother, too funny!!



  This year I am blessed enough to be with a wonderful guy who is smart enough to want to spend the rest of his life with me ;) lol (Love you babe!)
Adam and I generally don't do a lot for V-day, because our year anniversary is a mere ten days later (and we happen to think that ones more special!) But if you ask Adam he would tell you our story actually started on Valentines day 3 years ago..... (Adam's version of the story is not correct, just to let you know!)

February 14th 2009:
It was Saturday morning, Adam and I had both gone to the training room for an ice bath (I mainly went there because I thought Adam might be too). When taking our 10 minute plunge in the cold tub Adam asked me if I had any big plans for V-day? I proceeded to tell him that I had a big date planned and jokingly admitted it was with the coaches son, Louie, who I was babysitting that night.  Adam then says (In a very joking manner!) "oh well thats too bad cause I was gonna ask you to dinner."  Now this can be taken differently when read over a blog, but in real life it was very very unconvincing and so sarcastic that I had absolutely no idea if he was being serious and was left still questioning if this guy could be interested in me at all.  Only later did I find out that he was entirely serious and had I not had any plans Adam and I would have had our first date on February 14th instead of 24th. 
Adam still considers this to be him asking me out...but I beg to differ! Either way it is a fun Valentines day story we like to laugh about together. 

February 14th 2012

I woke up in the morning to find a rose and red water bottle (the awesome kind that Adam has that I keep stealing!) filled with mini Reese cups!

This was a package my Mom had given me at the A&M race the previous weekend with her instructions not to open until February 14th! 

Inside was a sweet card from my Mom and Dad and a new scarf! Mom knows me :)


Then I got to open my package from my future In-laws which was a dessert cookbook and oven mitt!

Oh thats right whats better than a water bottle...a water bottle filled with chocolate and peanut butter!

Then I went to work and found all these sweet valentines on my desk :)

Despite having to go to class and only seeing Adam for a short while, not a bad heart day.

p.s.- Running Life 
This past weekend I ran the mile at the A&M invitational. I ran a 4:59 which was a PR for me and I am now officially a sub 5 minute girl :)
My sister Amanda ran a 3k and ran PR for her, a 10:01 barely missing out on that 10 minute barrier!
Adam ran the 5k in Iowa and set a school record with a PR 14:41! (his teammate broke that record again the next day, but he had it for a few hours Friday!
