Last Long Training Run


This morning was our last long run before our half marathon next week (yay)! I have a feeling it’ll be our last long outdoor run for a while if it starts to get super cold.

I’m so not a football fan, but Sports Authority Field was about the most exciting thing we saw.

We ran out our front door, through the Highlands (hooray for Christmas decorations!):

And a few miles out on the Platte River Trail.

 Kevin claims that Pippa slowed him down the last few miles.

Ha. Ha. Ha.

Some of us love running more than others! :) 12 miles — 1 hour, 55 minutes, 27 seconds. Kevin tends to be super competitive in a race environment so I like our chances of breaking 2 hours next week. :) I don’t like our chances of training for a full marathon together though… One of us is impatient and the other isn’t a fan of long runs.

Kevin was pretty happy about finishing up some of the Best Carrot Cake Ever.

But our poinsettia is really sad. :( I have no skills with plants! I’ve only had it for two days! Any tips on how to revive it!?

Off to watch a Christmas movie! Good night!

  1. Plants are very forgiving. Just give it a little water & a lot of sun. It will love you again in no time. If the leaves start to turn yellow, you’re giving it too much water.

  2. the fact that he is trying says a lot about how much he loves you. teehee :) and good job with the run. I would not be able to do any of that.

    I am brown thumbed.. I managed to kill a plant the lady at the nursery called unkillable.

  4. I really love that you two are doing this together. My husband can run somewhere around 3 miles with me but any more than that and he gets bored or winded ;) Can’t wait to read about the half marathon next weekend – looks like you’re ready!!

  5. Wow! That’s quite a run! Good luck next weekend! Sorry I can’t help you with plant tips-I always kill mine too :(
