TGIF!

Yay, it’s finally Friday!  This week has seemed long, even though it was a 4 day work week.  Yesterday I thought it was Friday and what a disappointment that was. After work we are headed to pick up Emma for the weekend.  Hopefully it will turn out to be a good weekend. 

Sunday we watched Julie & Julia, I loved it.  I’m not a huge fan of French cuisine, but after watching the movie I do want to try my hand in a few of Julia Child’s recipes.  So my question to you all, has any of you ever tried some of her recipes?  If so which ones?

I love Lisa’s post from yesterday, 2010 So Far, I only have one thing I’m proud of so far this year.  I have started running.  Now I know I’m not a runner yet or even running yet but I’m learning.  I started last Friday and I thought I was going to die.  I have been walking at a steady pace for 10 minutes, then running for 2, then walking for 3 for 30 minutes.  Yesterday was my third day of this and I was actually able to do the running without holding on to the treadmill.  (Yes you can make fun of me for that, but I have NEVER ran long distance in my life before so I’m way out of shape for this.  I had to hold on to keep up and not fall. :) ) I didn’t hurt as bad during the 2 minutes of running. I’m not quite ready to start running the 3, but I’m getting there. I have also learned that you need true running shoes!  The shoes I ran in Friday were at least 7 years old and never were “running” shoes.  Sunday I picked up a pair of Asics Gels and LOVE them.  I feel like I’m running lighter.

It’s time for me to head home for the day! Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
