OH HELL YEAH!

HELL TO THE YEAH!!!! Excuse me while I laugh out loud and do a victory dance here!!!! Let me back up and say, for some of you readers, I know you've been tracking right along with me on my running success I started three weeks ago. A week back I posted that I wanted to hit my 1.5 mile mark this week but guess freakin what! Tonight I ran the furtherest at a whooping 2 (couldn't have felt greater) miles! I was shocked to say the least....My last run was on Thursday where I ran 1.70 miles but that was even rough by the end so tonight when I got on the tread I was hoping to make it right around there again, but when I hit the 1.75 mile mark I was still feeling great so I pushed for that last quater of a mile...After all, thats what its about right! I feel great, my legs are tight, I actually broke a good sweat and I just downed a glass of chocolate milk. I have to give a shout out to d.a.r on that one. We've been e-mailing back and forth as shes been giving me tips and pointers on making this more of a success. She told me about drinking chocolate milk afterwards...Apparently it has a lot of good protein to help your muscle recovery; Do you see me complaining here:) I was thinking it would eventually come down to those nasty protein drinks or something...Gosh, if someone had told me I would have an excuse to drink chocolate milk after running, I might have made olympic gold medalist by now! Lol...k not really, but yeah:p
I hope everyone enjoyed their weekends! Robert was in town again but sadly we didn't get to spend much time together:( I couldn't stay down too long about it though, knowing that in two days I get to drive to South Carolina to see him graduate! So most likely I won't be posting on here for those few days; at least until (WE) get back:) Thank you all for you wonderful compliments and comments on my last post...You're all too kind:p I think I told JLC that everytime I look at my eyes I just see an everyday blue, but when you have to live with them everyday they're just not that exciting:p Especially when allergies get the better of me and they're red from inching....uggg...Last thing and I'll shut up for the evening. I've noticed that when you girls post about another blog site you somehow find a way to get their blog name in there as a clickable URL...How do you do this? I mention ya'll alot in my blog and I would love to be able to send people to your sites easier via this way...Okay, I'm off to catch up on all of your lovely blogs and my favorite part, commenting! Caio...

EDIT: Thanks to lola and d.a.r I now know how to hyper-link! Woo hoo, thanks girls, you've made my night;)

  2. Aw, I'm glad that you guys got to see each other and that he'll be graduating SO SOON! :D

    Oh, and a much deserved CONGRATS on your 2 miles! :D :D wooooooooo!

    For the links -- there's a hyperlink button in the new post thing -- it looks like two chain linked things (at least in my eyes) and you click that and copy/paste the URL into the popup! :)

  3. Yay for 2 miles!! I remember when I first made it two miles, it was the best feeling ever. :)

    Highlight the name you want to link, then go to the hyperlink button on top of the text box (it has a little chain link in it) and type in the URL you want to link to. Easy peasy.

    Have so much fun at his graduation!! I can't wait to hear all about it!

  4. Hah, I'm an a--hole. I left out the step of highlighting the text that you want hyperlinked. d.a.r. explains above.

    Sorry about that!

    And if I can drink chocolate milk after I run, well that totally makes me want to run more!
