20 Miles and 2 years

Last night we went over to my cousin's apartment to visit and keep her company while she was babysitting her nephew, Will. We still don't understand why he is in a White Sox uniform, but he's so cute I think we can let it slide. We watched Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle which is so hilarious. Jason and I caught the end half of that movie a couple months ago and so even funnier all the way through. That's one of those movies that you could watch over and over again and it just keeps getting funnier. Apparently when Lisa and her boyfriend watched it last week they then had to go find White Castle for themselves. As Jason does not like the whiteys and i LOVE them, I am excited to have fellow White Castle lovers in town.

This morning we got up around 7am and were out running by 8:15. It was such a beautiful day out and we had wonderful run. At about mile 4 and near the Bally's (I really don't understand the spinning class....outside....on the bike path...but whatever) we saw someone yelling at said spinners and then noticed they had a familar shiney scalp, "Hey, HEEEEEY HEEEEEYYYYY JOSH!!!!" It was our friend Josh over at Pugpaw. He ran our direction for a few 100 meters and then sprinted back to catch up with his training group. I love LOVE love seeing people I know on the lake front path so that was a ton of fun.

We just kept on moving forward and soon enough we were at the 12 mile marker that is near the little beach and park a bit south of McCormick place. We had gels at mile 7.5 and ~15 and had slightly longer miles there (10:00 and 10:39) but other than that we just cruised at 9:15 miles ending with an 8:41 and 8:11 mile for the last two. I am always really happy to have something left in the take, especially at the end of a 20 miler. So we paced 9:22 miles, which I must say is pretty perfect!!!! It was a great run. It was a great feeling to be done with and we have run 100 miles in the last 13 days. I never thought that I would be able to do that, so now it's time to celebrate with some pizza rolls and frozen drinks before naptime :-)

Today we also celebrate our 2 year wedding anniversary. Wow.

To Jason-I love you so much. While we were running today I was trying to think of a cute little thing to write to you ....you know, Webster's Dictionary defines love as....blah blah....but I couldn't think of anything very clever. So I will just say this : You are so spectacular and I am so lucky that not only do I get to spend the rest of my life with you, but I get to spend the rest of my life with you....my best friend and partner in crime :-) Happy Anniversary Baby. I love you. Here's to a wonderfully fun and exciting and spectacular and unordinary lifetime.
