Fun Cross Training & New Gear!!

Having this week off has been so much fun!  My husband and I have been hanging out a lot which is awesome since he works nights and we typically don't get that much time together.  Two days ago we went ice skating which was a blast!  If forgot how much work it is; man, I was sweating!  I'm not that great of a skater but I can stay upright and not hit the little kids :)

Today we went to play racquetball once I got home from my 8 mile run with the group.  I had about an hour of down time between the activities, but wow, my legs feel it now!  I love playing racquetball, but I get frustrated since I used to play tennis in HS and I'm still adjusting to the shorter swing and subtle differences in the game.  And my husband beats me 99% of the time :(

When we got home from racquetball, I found these on my front porch:

LOVE THEM!  Yes, I splurged and got the $100 pair of shoes cause I liked the color.  I can justify the purchase since a) I never splurge on things for myself, b) I LOVE the shoes and will DEFINITELY wear them, and c) I got a pretty nice bonus from work this year, so I really didn't spend any of 'my money'.  The only problem is that I don't want to wear them outside yet; I don't want them to get dirty :)

I also picked up this beauty for less than $20 today - gotta love TJ Maxx.  I swear more than half of my wardrobe comes from that place or Marshall's.  I really needed another long sleeve top layer for winter and this one seems perfect :)  Can't wait to get out to try the new gear this week :)

Now all I have to do tonight is watch the
