Keep Chuggin' Along

So sorry for the infrequency of posts lately!  I have no excuse other than I've been super stressed and busy at work, which has unfortunately bled over into every other aspect of my life.  A lot of big projects and events all at once has made for one very tired girl...I keep telling myself to just keep chuggin' along!

I've definitely been slacking off in the workout department too.  I need to make it a point to get out for a good 4 mile run tomorrow, because I signed up to run in a 4 mile road race on Friday!  While I've run this distance many times, this will be my first ever competitive run of any kind.  I'll have a friend there running with me so that should keep me motivated to push through :)

I also got this awesome new pair of running shoes last week from a local specialty running shoe store in my area - and I haven't even had a chance to take them out for a test drive yet!  

I can't wait to try them out!  I have extremely wide feet and very high arches so I tend to have a lot of trouble finding shoes that fit and support properly, but when I tried this on and took a few strides on the treadmill I felt like I was running on a cloud!  They are the Addidas Boost, has anyone tried them out?

Tonight we have some friends coming over for dinner - I'll be sure to post what I made and some pics of the delicious and healthy food. It'll be nice to catch up, relax and just forget about everything else for a few hours!

Have a great Monday!
