Computers....uugggghhh ugghhh

So my weekend was good, other than the fact that I missed my kids like CRAZY. But, I met many new people, laughed with family and friends.

AND

got 20 New Scrapbook pages done!!!!

The highlight of my weekend was coming home and trying to share them with the blogging community and my friends over @ 52sketches.

I got on my computer last night and seriously...SERIOUSLY it took 40minutes just to bring up the website and log in. I tried, STILL to upload but it FROZE during the upload process, locked up and shut down. I used to love that machine. NOW. I think I might hate it. YUP. I hate it.

So obviously that wasn't my highlight. Of course it would have to be seeing my beautiful children and their smiling faces. That always makes everything better.

Back in RUNNING Mode

I am SO excited.

Friday after work I ran with my sisters...just a few steps to get the heart pumping (less than a mile) then we did our usual 20minute workout.

Sunday morning I joined a few people (one of which I am extrememly fond of) for a long distance run. (LOL funny Megan.....yes, I'm laughing at myself). I was told the goal was 9miles. I was thinking since I jumped on that treadmil a few weeks back I might actually be able to hang in there for 6 or so. Yeah... TRY THREE!!! I was so happy when we hit the 2 1/2 - 2 3/4 marker that my running partner was cutting the run short on account of: NO Running shoes (yes, he forgot the most important gear-I think GOD was helping me out and planned that one). I believe our overall pace was about 8:45/mi...I have to check again though. The good thing was that I was running outside on the dirt/pavement, sucking the cold nasty air into my lungs once again....and I loved it. It instantly put me back in RUNNING MODE.

Monday after work I ran 5 miles at a 9 minute pace. I figured I need to keep the mood fresh and if I have another opportunity (hope I do) to run with others I want to be able to keep up. I'm sure no one will be forgetting their shoes a second time! Then it was off to my sisters for our lower body work out...30minutes worth.
