52 Weeks of Happiness Week 28

This past Thursday (and all week, actually), Memphis encountered an incredible snap of fall weather.

It gave us a tiny preview into the season of orange, yellow, and red leaves, pumpkin spiced goodies, Halloween, and Thanksgiving! What a lovely preview it was.

I'm working on training for my fourth 1/2 marathon benefiting St. Jude in December. I can't handle running in hot temps outside. My lungs don't like it, and I don't like being far away from water. I love the treadmill when I can run in the cool inside and have water at any given moment.

But I do love running outside when I can handle it. Thursday, I ran after school (which happens to be 12:30 for me!) and it was lovely. I did 3 miles, and enjoyed being outside with the trees, sun, and breeze again. I take my phone so I can see how long I have gone (GPS on phone), so somewhere in the middle I decided to snap a pic of this great moment.

52 Weeks Of Happiness, Week 1

It's Thursday. I have the first week's photo. I think I'll just always aim to post it on Thursday.

Today's happiness is brought to you by...

NEW RUNNING SHOES.



This signifies me time, health and exercise, and motivation. I recently completed my third half-marathon, but first post-baby. It is a thrilling accomplishment. My shoes were kaput, so hubby and I went to the best store to get them in Memphis. I love my Brooks shoes. And since they are so tailored for how you run, you can't choose a color. How lucky I am that it turned out to be a slightly darker shade of Tiffany blue!
