Ladies and Ladies, ahhh hmmm... I am pleased to announce I have made contact! Today I went and enjoyed a delicious lunch at Olive Garden and I wasn't alone! There I enjoyed the company of four really sweet and welcoming Army wives! For a while, I was starting to wonder if they really existed in this town! Jk, but it's was feeling that way:p I RSVP'd though "meetup" so once there, we met up in the lobby area, exchanged names and handshakes then waited to be seated...I really suprised myself because I wasn't even the least bit nervous. I have never done anything like that in my life but, for some reason, it felt so natural...Probably because I'm so tired of going it alone down here:p After eating my fill of unlimited bread sticks, salad and soup we swaped numbers with the promise of calling and doing this again and I really hope we do!
After I allowed my food and drink to settle, you guessed it, I went for a run:p I know I said I wouldn't be blogging about running for a good two weeks, but I just want to say, this walk/run thing is panning out! Today I found the pace they spoke of which is DEFINITELY in the jogging catagory:p I felt even stronger then I did one day ago when I finished that exact run/program...My lungs felt better, legs were feeling great and I definitely felt like I could do it again, but didnt't:p Looks like I'll be doing this every other day so I'll be running 5 miles a week instead of the 4.5 I was doing while doing straight runs...Sounds good to me! Thats all or now:) I'm off to clean the apartment or talk myself into buying some new running shorts...Hmmmm...Which sounds more fun:p
YAY for some nice army wives!!!! Hopefully you will click really good with at least one and can become great buds! And, ps---both options sound good to me, but im weird and LIKE to clean...its my therapy! :) Congrats on thr great run!!! Keep up the ma-va-lous work !!!
ReplyDeleteI am new to you blog, and fellow mil wife too :)
ReplyDeleteYour photos are beautiful! Also I am a relatively new runner (started January) and just ran my first 10K, and am training for a half marathon in Sept. Your running log in the top right caught my eye!

Have a nice weekend.
Glad you found some great new friends! It really makes all the difference!

ReplyDeleteI'm officially addicted to your blog. Its awesome.
ReplyDeleteAaand I'm a little partial to this post because its about the fabulous lunch we had to today =) I'm so relieved this meetup group is bringing us army wives out of hiding! haha. We will definitely be doing it again!
Yall better be ready for me when I get there! Oh and it's official! July 12th we fly out! We are going to do some travel and visit family we haven't seen in years. I can't wait to meet ya!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had such a fantastic time with the other ladies and found some friends! Also it makes me happy that your runs are going well again!
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely good that you found some "in real life" (because all of us aren't 'real' j/k lol) Army wives to hang out with and talk to! =)
ReplyDeleteStay positive on your running. You'll get to whwere you want to be. It's a process. I learned that with losing weight. It never goes as quickly as we would like but I reach my goals all the same. =)
Yummmmmy OG!! Glad you met some new friends. They make all the difference in the world :)
ReplyDeleteYay!!!! I'm glad you've finally broke in!! I'm glad you were able to find them! That's so exciting!
ReplyDeleteYesss! Yay for meeting a group of good girls. I have a feeling that is something that will work out for you.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll read my post and see that my weekend hasn't started off so hot. Looking forward to tomorrow though. Slim chance I'm sure but Trey has to be back by 6. If you're not up to anything I'd love to meet.. we can get coffee or something. (not sure what there is to do around here). Just let me know :)
I'm SOOO glad that you met some new Army wives in your area! That is awesome, and way to go taking a chance and meeting them for lunch!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great weekend!!!
That is so awesome! :D Eating with other actual people is a highlight of my life ... seriously. LOL It sucks eating alone. :p
ReplyDeleteWay to go on the run and getting out and meeting some people! Hopefully there will be some normal ones when we move to Carson!
ReplyDeleteHey Becca - saw you on 'that runner's forum' (won't name names!) and I don't hang there much so just wanted to welcome you to the runner/blogger community. It's been absolutely the best thing in the world for my running - tons of advice, support, and laughs. Hope you'll stop by sometime.
ReplyDeleteThe running shorts :) CP Champion shorts at Target are AMAZING btw lol.
ReplyDeleteI am soooo glad you met some other wives and felt great with your run :)
So glad you had a nice time and I hope it turns out that you find some great friends there.
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear your new running plan is working!! Good luck!
Cheers to "Real wives!!" YEAH! The best thing about real wives is that they can give you a hug. But cyber-wives are my faves - don't tell.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on figuring out what works for you when you hit the pavement.
And, OLIVE GARDEN! YUM!! We have commercials for the OG here, but I think the closest one is 3500 miles east, in Hawaii. Boo.
That's awesome that you met up with other Army wives and had a great lunch!
