I'm Jiggly and I Know It

Observations from today's run

1. I jiggle. A lot. Particularly in the butt region. My husband tells me he enjoys it when he's running behind me (which is pretty rare considering how slow I am) but I do not. I've always had a large backside but this is ridiculous. I better go find some apple bottom jeans and some boots with the fur.

2. Pushing Rowan in the stroller is hard work. This is going to come across as so whiny but it's true. I can barely propel my own weight forward so trying to push an additional 45 to 50 pounds about did me in. My goal today was 3 miles. I did 3.85 but probably only ran 2.5 of those. I made myself go the extra distance to make up for the fact that I didn't run as much as I anticipated.

3. I did not find my runner's high. See #2.

4. Running in 60 degree weather is glorious. I love everything about it. It's not too hot or cold and your clothes don't stick to you quite like they do when it's 80's and humid.

This afternoon we've got my cousin's wedding and the Bayonet dinner. It's so awesome to have to go back and forth. It really wouldn't be the army if they didn't make things more complicated than they should be. I found a dress yesterday that I L-O-V-E. It's plum chiffon, halter neck, with ruffles on the top. Again, hard to describe but I love everything about it. I even got new shoes because one really must wear silver shoes with this dress. The shoes sparkle. Not hooker sparkle but in an elegant way. I'm gonna look so kick ass.

Today is also the hubby's 30th birthday. Finally, he joins the majority of us in the 30's club. I feel bad that he has to spend the evening with the military. However, if any of you army guys feel the need to give him the 30 spankings he definitely deserves, I won't stand in your way. I'll even hold his coat for you.

Ciao!
