What I'm Loving Wednesday





1. Band of Brothers
 
This TV show/movie/miniseries thingamajig has me in tears almost every single episode. The way Tom Hanks has depicted combat in WWII is amazing to me (ahemm a history major/nerd). I am sad I am almost finished with it, however, I love it.

2. My New Shoes 

I think you are familiar with these. They are awesome, and that is that!

3. USA Soccer Videos

Holy moly, I'm obsessed. Following the USA team last summer in the World Cup was so.much.fun! I am such a fan of highlight videos and this one gives me chills like no other.

4. Running

I haven't been a big fan of it until recently. Don't get me wrong, I have ran in 10ks or just run for fitness my whole life but right now I'm really starting to enjoy it. Running for a goal and training for my race in two weeks has really been a lot of fun. I love working hard and seeing what happens.

Half-Marathon

Well, folks, my first half-marathon this year is in 19 days. Woop woop! I have started training and it's been going surprisingly well! I ran 8 miles on Saturday, 5 miles on Sunday and 3 on Monday. Today was my off day (my knees say THANK YOU!).

I haven't gotten my full training schedule until the race starts but I have a feeling this coming weekend has a double digit run. EEK! Good thing I bought some SAWEEEET new shoes. 
They are wicked comfy. Sooo we shall see how they do when we're on the road for over an hour and a half!
