So, I figured I’d post a little something as it’s been quite some time since I’ve blogged!

Seth and I had a great weekend!  We went to his mom’s for her birthday and were able to make it outside to do some snowshoeing before the weather got too bad.  We brought the two doggies with and it was fun to see them jumping through all the snow and playing around!  Then we finished off the weekend at home with a nice home cooked meal of Penne Vodka in a Cream Sauce with some wine for our Valentine’s Day dinner.  It was nice.  Since we don’t have great restaurants around here we are trying to experiment with some different recipes to make dinner more fun and healthy.  (so far the more fun has taken precedence!)

It’s insanely snowy  here in Marshall as it is in all of the midwest and I’m not sure if I am speaking for myself only when I say that it was nice at the beginning, but it is now starting to get a bit old.  Here are the reasons why:

1.) We can’t have any more snow days because if we do, they are going to start taking them away from our Easter break or adding them to the end of the school year

2.) We can only shovel the snow to so many places!  Out little doggy path is getting skinnier and skinnier with the tops of the drifts getting higher and higher around it!

3.) I NEED to run outside!  Running 5+ miles on a treadmill just isn’t doing it for me

4.) I like sun and am done with the snow.  Bring on the flowers!

That being said, we are officially training for the half marathon on Mickelson Trail in Deadwood, SD.  It’s over our Anniversary weekend, so that should be fun!  Probably not the way Seth prefers to spend our Anniversary weekend, but we’ll have fun!  Training for me is going ok.  I went to the chiropractor to check out my knees last week and he said I have patellar tendinitis.  It’s something that can be healed by rest.  Since that really isn’t an option as I WANT to run this half marathon, he has encouraged me to do lots of icing and stretching.

It was the first time I went to a chiro so that was interesting.  One of my legs was like half an inch longer than the other so he was able to rotate my pelvis and stretch the tendons and it was miraculously better!  :/  He did some cracking of a few joints (the neck was the coolest) but basically helped me out with my knees.  I don’t see myself going at all on a regular basis, I just wanted help with my knees and to know what was wrong with them and how to help it!

Alrighty, On that note, I must end this blog as it has become much to long!
