It was a GREAT 2 yr anniversary for us yesterday.  We did what we wanted to do...We got our planned run in targeted for my "training plan" & then joined our run club at Amico's for some good carbs.  We made our plans for Saturday with Steve, Lauren, Shawn, & Richard. 

I got my butt up to do IT Band exercises & ab ripper this morning.  I feel pretty great right now & my weight has not budged even though I've been eating slightly more the last few weeks.  I got a HUGE compliment on Tuesday evening at my gym from a gal that I randomly talk to every now & then. She told me that I looked very "lean" to her & wanted to know how I maintain it.  :-) 
Even my former personal trainer told me that I would be proud of him for running 4.25 miles nonstop the other day.  (He's signed up for some type of adventure race.)  I was so flattered that they both cared what I thought. 

I've scattered "leave" hours through out the month of December for work.  I had more vacation time than I knew what to do with so I'm taking half days here & there.  This will help with getting my work outs in, packing for MI, running errands, etc...in December.  It may not turn into the "crazy" month that I thought it would.  ;-)
