Knee Pain

My knee has been hurting lately and I can’t figure it out… it’s been hurting for the past month and my workout streak 2 weeks ago didn’t help any so I decided to take some time off from running and tried to ride a Bike on a trainer for some cardio instead even though I have a half marathon coming up on May 5th.  I actually enjoyed the bike and think that as soon as I can get my knee feeling a little better and get back to running again, I will keep it as part of my Cross Training routine! :)

Wordless Wednesday: Shower Pictures

Remember the post where I showed you all my hard work for my twin’s “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” bridal shower?  If not, it can be found HERE. So, it’s been a little longer than expected, but here are the pictures from the shower.  My twin really appreciated it and had fun, so it was all worth it :)  She’s getting married next month and I’m excited for her!!  It’s been almost a year (June 25th) since my wedding so I know how excited she is! :)  ok, that was a lot of words for a Wordless Wednesday lol… on to the pictures!

    

My beautiful twin and I :)

Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend

This time last week I was sitting in a 9 hour long class and then coming home to work on some stuff for my twin’s ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ themed bridal shower (Audrey Hepburn)…  (yeah, I’ve never seen the movie, but I think I did pretty good lol)  I can’t remember if I told you all that she was getting married in May or not…. Well, “My twin is getting married in May” haha… there ya go! ;)  So I put together all the centerpieces:

Here colors are blue and silver and the Calla Lily is her wedding flower and then the pearls and diamonds are related to the “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” Movie.  If you know the movie at all, you know that Audrey wears a sleep mask that looks like this:

Image found HERE

So I decided to make my twin a mask for her shower:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then I had some extra pearls from the string of pearls I had cut all the decorations from and decided to make myself a necklace to wear to the shower the next day to “stay in character” lol:

   

And then I also put together two games for the shower and by that time I was so exhausted from the day that I went to bed.   I’ll post pictures from the shower either later today or tomorrow sometime… it was a fun time and my twin really enjoyed it! :)  I’m so glad she did!  I’m excited for her!  Being a newlywed myself, I know how exciting of a time this is for her! :)

Running related note:  I didn’t post my weekly roundup last week because well… remember my streak? … it ended lol… last week was a hectic one at school and with getting everything prepared for the shower, also, my knee has been hurting lately… not so fun… so I rode the bike for 35 minutes last Monday and that was it. :(

Going Streakin’

I made it a goal to workout everyday last week… and I did it!!! In fact… I just completed Day #8 in my workout streak! :)  I feel awesome!!  A little bit tired because I haven’t been going to bed at a decent time and my body isn’t used to so much exercise thanks to 16 hour long school days last quarter… but it really does feel awesome! lol… I’m looking forward to keepin’ the streak alive! :)  My body is a little sore, but it’s a good sore… the kind that lets me know I’m getting stronger!  Speaking of which… this song has been stuck in my head all week!! lol… enjoy!

I wore my Nike capris to run in this evening and then decided to foam roll and this is the result:
(That is not a bruise on my leg… just the shadow of the camera lol)
