Half Marathon & Babies!!

So first off, let's start with babies!! No, not me!! Of course here are some more of Merritt, my niece. Sorry, I am hoping this blog does not turn into Babies R Us. We all know it is really about Ollie! :)

How cool is this? I facetimed with Merrit on Sunday and my brother took a picture of it! This is Merrit and I's very first picture together!! Gotta love technology! 

Already a bathing beauty!! I think she has a little jaundice so she is sunning herself. So cute!

Check out this bow!! Miss Pretty in Pink!! On her way to her first check up.

Our good friends Tiffany and Victor just had their baby as well this weekend! Victor Phillip was born on Sunday and mom and baby are doing great!! I got to go over today to visit and hold the precious little one! He was so good and let me hold him for a really long time!

Isn't he cute?? I look a mess as I came straight from yoga, but he is all that matters! So happy for Victor and Tiffany!! (You will have to update your blog now!!)

Here is Ollie at the vet yesteday. Poor dog has an ear infection and some sort of acne that is caused by allergies. He has to get his ears cleaned out (which he hates) and take antibiotics for a couple of weeks. We also are bad parents and need to brush his teeth more. Word to the wise pet parents - they said brush 4 times a week or plaque will harden! He was a good patient and got pigs ears as a treat.

Allright, on to half marathon training! I haven't talked about running lately, but I have been running a lot. I haven't stuck to a strict half marathon training schedule like last year, but I have been running 4 or 5 times a week and increasing my mileage. Ollie and I ran 8 miles yesterday (well I dropped him off after 6, he was thirsty!). The last two miles were tough, but I pushed through. It is awesome that my body now is used to running and it is not as hard as last year and my pace is way better. White Rock is a little over a month away so it is time to get serious about training. I put all my runs on my calendar this afternoon and am going to be strict about it. I went to my very first yoga class today! A woman I met at one of my Stella & Dot shows is training to be an instructor and offering free classes so I thought why not? I really liked it! I was sweating like a pig but it was a great work out! I hate stretching so it is a great complement to running. I think I might keep it up!

All right off to do some work and then happy hour with Casey and Amy at Gloria's! Looking forward to some bean dip and a cold drink!

Ohh PS: We made the enchiladas I posted about on Monday and they were so good!! They are healthy also!! Not the quickest throw together meal, but if you want to spend a bit in the kitchen and have some yummy, spicy, healthy enchiladas, then try these! Check out the recipe on Gina's Skinny Recipes.
