Running, Favorite Running Playlists, and Kitty Cuddles

So here I am drinking some coffee and trying to catch up on my recap posts. I'm trying to catch up on school but I still want to be doing these posts so I can look back and remember this year. 

Last week (week of 17 January 2017) was a pretty good week. I've been keeping up with my running, my workouts, and I got all the Christmas decorations down and decorated the house for Valentine's Day!



Tuesday I decided to go for a run. Although I have Amazon Prime Music, I still love running to Spotify's running playlists because it detects your steps per minute and gives you great music that matches your pace.


My favorite palm tree in the neighborhood is so magnificently tall. You can't really tell in this picture how tall it is though.



After the run Lando wanted to go outside with me on the front porch while I had my protein shake.


Later that night I decided to take down the upstairs Christmas tree. Lando wasn't having it. He decided sleeping in the box was the best option to prevent me from putting the tree away.



Wednesday I took down some of the other decorations in the house, did some schoolwork, and cuddled with Lando.


Thursday and Friday I focused on school and fitness. 


That night it was a bit cold so Lando decided to sleep in a ball under the covers lol.


That weekend it snowed on the mountains just west of here! 





With the nice cool weather I decided to go for a run. I, however, forgot about the wind. My ears were hurting so much from the wind. I had to stop and put my hood up part way through.




The view was worth the bitter wind.


It was a pretty good run. I can feel myself getting stronger every run and they're getting easier and easier.

Later that weekend I took down the massive tree we have in the living room and set up the Valentine's decorations.

Warrior Challenge Obstacle Course and Mud Run

Today my husband and I completed the Warrior Challenge Obstacle Course and Mud Run! We got there at 07:30 bright and early. Before we went I ate a little bit of fruit and packed some things we might need (lots of towels, baby wipes, eye drops, snacks for afterwards, water, and electrolytes). I really enjoyed myself and it was empowering to accomplish it! Jake and I did it together all the way through. I'm so thankful that I have such an amazing husband that is so patient with me and helped me all the way through the event. The event was just short of 6 miles. It had over ten obstacles and included mud pits and a run through the woods that was very muddy! At the end we got some free water, Gatorade, fruit, snacks, and beer! I was very surprised but my Fitbit Surge held up pretty well! The only thing is when we got sprayed with water at the end, the force of the water must have hit one of the buttons and it turned off my Fitbit. That was as we were crossing the finis...

LASIK: Three Week Review

So on May 27th I had my LASIK surgery! I'm going to write the great, the good, the bad, and the ugly. The Day Of The morning of the surgery I woke up very early to make the 1.5 hour drive the where the center was. They said to make sure to eat the morning of because they didn't want the valium to make my stomach upset. I managed to get some nuts, granola, and some other snacks down. I was really nervous so eating a bit was hard. If I could do it again I would have eaten an actual breakfast! I didn't eat enough and afterwards I was very nauseous. When I finally got to the clinic I waited about a half an hour after my appointment time to be seen. I wasn't in a huge hurry just very anxious and the wait didn't help. I already new what to expect but I just wanted it done and over with. I was finally called in and we went over some paperwork that I had to sign, they made sure I knew about all the risks involved, I made the payment, and then they gave me a little happ...
