I hadn't announced it yet, but I am going back to finish my Bachelor's in Business Administration. I am going to University of Illinois Springfield in their online program because that is the learning environment that I enjoy the most. It is hard, but I've earned two degrees already doing on line school and I will finish the Bachelor's as well. Not to mention that UIS is about $25,000 cheaper than the other online schools I attended.
So, as of tomorrow I am a full time student and the University of Illinois at Springfield and will have my BA in less than 2 years. What will I do after that? No freaking clue. Ha!

Half Marathon Training Days 6, 7 & 8:
Day 6 - Friday - I did my cross training this day
Day 7 - 4 mile run
Day 8 - Rest Day
I've been switching up the schedule a little to make it more convenient for me. Long run days will be easier on Saturday so I have flopped those two days around. I just did some circuit training on Friday, reps of weights, planks, push ups, etc.
I had asked Andrew if he wanted to do the 4 miles with me and he said sure. I told him it was cold and might snow. He said OK. I think he regretted that decision but I am forever grateful that he went because by the last mile we were cold and covered from head to toe in snow and he was making me laugh so hard! I had a blast all because of him.
This is when the snow had just started and was barely coming down. It was a blizzard about 5 minutes after I took this. That's Andrew ahead of me.
See the snow starting to accumulate on my hat? That was nothing. I didn't dare take my phone out to snap more pictures though in fear of it getting too wet.
Our pace was slower because of the slick conditions! Stupid snow!
I enjoyed my rest day too. Rest days are very nice.
Tonight's schedule has me set for a 3 mile run. The conditions look good as of right now but that doesn't mean that they won't take a turn for the worse by the time I get home. That's usually my luck.

Foodie Food
My weekend food wasn't too bad. The only thing that was probably not the greatest was the champagne and sparkling wine that I drank while playing Cards Against Humanity with my family.
I did not end up going to the SRRC event with Christpher McDougall because of a family emergency which is why I ended up in Taylorville. I won't go into detail but mom and I were about to drive to North Carolina to get my dad but the situation has worked itself out and he'll be taking a bus home tomorrow and be home Wednesday night. We just ended up hanging out with my family until Sunday afternoon and then came home.
I did food prep yesterday. Lots of jar salads and quinoa all ready to go for the week. Yum!
Today's Menu:
B: 2 HB eggs, coffee
S: String Cheese
L: Jar Salad, quinoa and a couple pieces of dark chocolate
S: Pineapple Greek Yogurt
D: Tilapia, mashed potatoes, broccoli
Activity: 3 miles
I will be leaving work today to go to the doctor so that afternoon snack might not happen. I have developed a little outbreak of thrush on the corners of my mouth (OUCH) and need to go get a cream for it. I have an inhaler that lists thrush as a side effect and I'm not a happy camper. My skin keeps splitting and bleeding and it hurts like a bitch.
I alway get the weird mouth things. Canker sores, cold sores, chapped lips, thrush..... aren't I lucky?

Cuteness:
He was shivering like crazy so I had to put him in a sweater of Caesar's and he was so stinking cute in it. I don't want that dog to get any bigger. I love him this size! Of course, he's only 5 months old so he's got more growing up to do...
I don't really have any other news. Running is going well, Andrew starts school Wednesday and I start tomorrow. We are going to have one busy household! Full of homework and studying. Oh the exciting lives we lead.
