Week 7: 10 Miles / This & That

10 miles
It's a few days after the big 10 mile run and I'm still experiencing a bit of pain. It's hard running 10 miles! My knee is in pain and my toes have blisters. Ugh. This was the first time I did not get into the run. I usually start off tired and then get motivated once we start going, but this time, I was feeling a bit defeated. I bought a few running snacks, which helped, but this week's run just felt awful. The last mile was the worst. My thighs and knees felt so sore, and i got a stomach cramp. Complain, complain, complain. Days later and my knee is still in pain. This is why I quit last year. This year, I can't let myself quit! But, this knee has got to start feeling okay again.

This & That
This week was a bit hectic, because I started a new job. It's a part-time job, so one would think I have more time for wedding planning, but lately, it seems my hours are closer to a full-timer, so it's been a little busy. Though, I did get quite a few things done. I sampled around for ribbons and envelopes as part of our wedding invites. I think we're almost at a decision, too! I'm hoping to get it all figured out by this coming week.
I also called around for printing prices and was pleasantly surprised at how affordable things are coming together. I have started designing the last element for our wedding invite package and the favors, so as soon as we get all the content together, things will be ready for printing! It's so weird to think these invites are going out in about 3 more months. Time is flying by too fast!
Brian also got busy this week and scheduled our one-day church meeting for January. Lots of things going on in January. Oh, January.... it's almost here! I'm almost starting to feel the pressure, but not quite yet! I'm going to try to prolong my relaxation as long as I can before the nerves take over! I'm hoping to stay relaxed the whole way through... let's see if I can!
