Getting closer…. and one of my sister’s talents.

Just our favorite smoothies to start off our Saturday.  

Running didn’t end up happening yesterday morning but I figured it was more than okay because I had a solid week with an 18 miler, some speed on Friday and 51 miles already for the week—>  two days off from running this weekend wouldn’t put a big damper on marathon training.  We had hours and hours of painting ahead of us (and Andrew’s family meeting us early to help us paint) so a rest day (from running) ended up working out perfectly.

We picked up Beretta and then we were off to the house to paint.

Turns out this yellow wall needed just a little bit of TLC to get it to the gray color that we picked out together.

Andrew was busy spraying the ceiling.

And I am very glad that we were able to get a majority of everything done while the kids are both away.  There was a LOT of paint/everything possible everywhere.

I made just a few stops at The Home Depot because we kept forgetting everything.  The workers there kept telling me that they would see me again soon whenever I was checking out;)

After that we met my sister and her family to pick out flooring.  This little dude is getting too fast to actually catch on camera.  

I need his smile on my face during my next marathon.

My sister has many talents and one of her many talents being—>  she is AMAZING at picking out colors and finding the absolute best deal possible.  She saved us a whole lot of money yesterday.  I owe her big time.

The flooring and carpet we picked out.  I cannot wait.

The only use of running shoes yesterday was for painting… I always keep my old pairs of shoes to do stuff like this.

We made dinner together and then rested for a bit on the grass before starting the painting again.

Oh and we grabbed a little bit of candy and a movie to finish the night off strong.

PS my brother posted this pic of me as a baby on Facebook recently so I thought I would post it on here too.

Have some random talents outside of running to share with us today?

Done any DIY projects at your house?  Painted?  This is a whole new thing for me but I am loving it… we have some fun projects ahead.

What do you do with your old running shoes?

How has your weekend running gone?
