6 miles
We are following all of our longer runs with short runs, so after last week's 12 miles, we "recovered" with 6 miles this morning. Most of the group did a 10k race at Universal Studios, but since I had to work today, I decided not to. Lucky for me, 2 others from my group were there, along with someone who joined us from another group. It was empty today. Possibly because people feared the rain, but there was no rain and the weather was absolutely ideal for running. The run today was pretty easy, considering the first portion of it was uphill. I really enjoyed how mellow it was though. We all did really great, and stayed exactly on track. It was nice. On top of that, I must admit, I did not one maintenance run this past week. The new jobs have been keeping me extremely busy, but I have to get at least one in this week, somewhere.
The Cake
I ordered it. At first, we had this grand illusion of an idea for a cake, but recently, I decided to completely simplify. Our cake is going to be simple, but super cute, and really delicious. And that is all I got done this week as far as wedding plans go. Brian has been researching printers for us, in order to print lots of wedding inspired projects. I think we're pretty close to buying one too. Much more to come once that printer is purchased!
This weeks marathon goals
-run at least one 3 mile maintenance run, but try to do two
-run 14 miles Sunday. Yes, 14!
This weeks wedding goals
-start looking for airline tickets and book them
-buy a printer
-continue designing the other top secret project for the wedding favors
-start designing the ceremony programs
-start thinking about a slide show
-try to finish invites completely and start printing
-start arranging the wedding music and contact music coordinator (Brian)

Week 9: 12 Miles / Envelopes, Customs, & Pavement
You May have noticed, I skipped week 8. We did a 5 mile maintenance run. The sun was out and shining hard, so the run was a pretty tough one. I only managed to get one maintenance run in this past week, but surprisingly, 12 miles was not too bad.
12 miles
It's true. For some reason, 10 miles really hurt, but 12 was not as straining as I imagined it would be. I felt like I could have kept going, if I really wanted to. We even started the first 2 miles going up a fairly steep hill, but I felt pretty good all of Sunday. Now, 2 days later, and I'm sore. Really, really, really sore. Walking is difficult. I don't know how I'm going to run this week.
Envelopes, Customs, & Pavement
The reason I really don't know how I'm going to run is also based on the fact that I got yet another part-time job. This puts me at working 50 hours a week. I will basically be at work from 8am-8pm (or later) everyday, so it looks like I'll be waking up bright and early more often. This also gives me very little time to plan a wedding, so that might be a challenge. We did purchase our envelopes and are almost done with all the designing of the materials accompanying the invite! What a relief!
Speaking of a relief, one of my bridesmaids, who lives in Tokyo, just received her bridesmaid dress! Why is that so exciting? Well, it was stuck in customs for about 2 weeks! Very scary! And the dress fits, so all is great in Tokyo!
We also started thinking long and hard about the honeymoon. We haven't purchased plane tickets yet, but we already purchased concert tickets to see Pavement in Paris. Plane tickets will be purchased soon, I think. I guess we're still figuring it all out.
This weeks marathon goals
-run at least one 3 mile maintenance run
-run 6 miles Sunday
This weeks wedding goals
-Make some final decisions on where to honeymoon and start looking for airline tickets
-Make some final decisions on if we should buy a printer for wedding projects, or not (or should we wait until the day after Christmas to get a printer???)
-continue/possibly finish designing the other top secret project for the wedding favors
-start designing the ceremony programs
-start thinking about a slide show
-try to finish invites completely and start printing
-start arranging the wedding music and contact music coordinator (Brian)
