Hey Friends!  Sorry for being absent again from the blog - I was sick all last week with a terrible cold and every free minute I had I was at home sleeping!  So let me catch you up on whats been going on!  Well, as I already said, I was sick with a terrible cold last week.  I was SO worried I was going to get David sick on top of it.  I literally was making him "Airborne" cocktails every time he came home.  Knock on wood - he has not gotten sick.  I would have felt so bad if he caught the cold, especially with how busy he is!  The most sleep he got in a single night last week was probably 4 hours.  That's partly why I thought he would for sure catch my cold - his immune system had to be working over time or something! =)  (or maybe it was my Airborne cocktails) ha.

So, not only was I sick last week, but I also had to babysit extra hours, had a bunch of hours at BBW, AND we got 8 inches of snow!  On a random note right now - as I type this blog post, I have the 10pm news on, and it says the current temperature is 2 degrees.  Awesome.  Last night for the Super Bowl we had my sister and Mike over, and my cousin Ande and her husband Adam.  I guess you could say its tradition we watch the big game together.  We didn't watch it together last year, but did the year before and it's always been so much fun.  She brought over a dip, and I made my mom's lasagna recipe and garlic bread and life was good.  (not to mention my freezer now has a good supply of frozen lasagna pieces in it! - One of David's favorite things to eat when he get's home late at night!).

Being sick last week also got me off to a bad start in my half marathon training.  Most training schedules I have found online say you should start training about 3 months out - so that would have put me at February 1st as the start of training.   Now, notice I say you "should" start your training 3 months out - last year I literally trained for 6 weeks before the race, but, I am trying to follow a better training schedule this time around!  So, today I was back at the gym.  Ran 4 miles - not record speed or anything, but felt good to officially kick off my training.  =)

I have a random question to ask any of my readers - do any of you eat greek yogurt?  I love eating yogurt and fruit for breakfast, and have wanted to try greek yogurt but need suggestions on what kind to buy.  I prefer to buy organic if possible, but am open to any suggestions - shoot me an email or FB message if you have any insight for me!

Sorry for all the random thoughts!
Thanks for reading!!
