Week 3: 5 Miles / Invites

This post comes a little late, but that's only because I have been so productive with all things running and wedding.

5 mile run
Surprisingly, this run was not bad at all. The weather was nice and cold and my team was in high spirits. I also purchased some new running gadgets including: fancy run capri pants, new socks, new running shirt (which I didn't wear this week), and a water bottle utility belt. I was told to wear the belt below my hips at the store, but that just made things all too bouncy, so I tightly wore my belt at the smallest part of my waist and it felt perfect. The more I get to know my team, the more I like them. Everyone is so positive, determined, and really fun to be around. They make a 5 mile run feel like a 2 miler! Can't wait to do 6 miles! It really is getting easier.

Invitations
Right after my run, I made us a little lunch, took a shower, then went straight to our invitations. We had a little trouble getting them to look right last time, but this time, they were perfect. I almost cried. I spent the next 7-8 hours on my feet doing some printing work. When I was done, the apartment was covered in invites and I was ready to pass out. Did I mention I only had 200 calories that day? Not good. We ordered in some food, then spent the rest of the night with friends at a party. All in all, a very productive day. It's been a very productive week, actually. Brian has been calling people all over town to figure out the alcohol serving situation, and I've got lots of top secret plans taken care of, mostly regarding the wedding favors. The easy part is done with the favors, the hard part will begin around February, when we start assembling things together.
