4 mile run
Today was pretty good. My pace group and I got to know each other a little bit better, as we sweated it out in the overcast sun. We finished in about 56-58 minutes, which was fast for our group. I knew it felt a bit faster than my usual pace, so it was really nice to hear the coach tell everyone to slow down. Our pace group has been assigned a 2:2 run/walk ratio, which makes the entire feat of marathon running seem doable. I don't feel too exhausted and I'm anxious to do it again next week, except for 5 miles.
Flowers, Dresses, & Invites
A lot got done this week. Last week, I spent lot of time trying on dresses. As much as I love to shop, I hate to shop for wedding dresses. As a girl who wears 95% vintage clothing, shopping for anything non-vintage is such a chore for me. Wedding dress shopping is a whole new level of hatred. Not only is everything not really "me"-enough, but you always hear brides with their entourages trying on a slew of dresses next door, finding their perfect dresses, having their crew go nuts on them, and freaking at the sight of tiaras. That's cool for them, it's just so completely not me. It helps make the whole experience a little more frustrating. Being that girl would probably be easier. All that being said, this week, I decided to just get my dress made. I picked up some fabric, which I just chose in about 5 minutes, drove it to the lady's house, and should be hearing from her in approximately 3 weeks for my first fitting. I couldn't be happier to never step into a bridal salon again! Well, I still do have to chose bridesmaid dresses, so....
This entire week, we also concentrated a lot on our invites. We have been designing them ourselves, so there's been lots of back and forth with the wording, the font, and the design elements, but I think we've got it all down and may get started on some printing today! Fingers crossed!
In a few minutes, Brian and I will be leaving to our wedding reception site to meet with florist for a walk through. I'm hoping we get him booked and done with, just to cross another thing off of our list. The tasks for this coming week:
