New week.

You know you're off to a great start to a new week when you realize you forgot your shoes for the day.  Yep, I stepped off the treadmill this morning and it hit me.  I didn't bring my work shoes.  Awesome.  Hello shower flip flops.  I was only semi-embarrased by my VS PINK polka dot flip flops that are almost a half size too small. hellooooo monday.


But back to the weekend....this weekend started off with a run and ended with some r&r, big time.  Saturday morning was 15 miles -w/o my running partner who I missed badly.  Finished at 8:19 overall pace and I was ok with that. I'm still a little sore from the hills. However, we did have some pretty amazing views of the sunrise.... the view was absolutely gorgeous as the sun was rising.  Running endorphins+sunrise=the best start to a day.

I came home, took a nice hot shower, and cuddled up with a blanket on the couch for the rest of the day.  We watched conference, took a nap, baked some pumpkin bread, and lit the "autumn" candle in honor of the first day of fall here in Alabama.  I'm not sure where this cold front came from, but it sure did hit us.  We've been in the 50s-60s all weekend and today I was freeeeezing.  Pretty sure 3 days ago it was upper 70s....  But I'm liking the cooler temps!

And we had some white chicken enchiladas. After all, weekends mean eating lots of yummy foods, right?  I made half the batch for Sunday night and froze the others for next week.  Nothing better than coming home and popping dinner in the oven. And they taste amazing. Seriously, my MIL did it, and it's the best idea ever.
