Happy Valentine's Day!

I'm really, honestly, not the hugest fan of this holiday. But isn't that what all single people say? It's been a very long while since I had a Valentine, but I'm really okay with it.  (Okay, it sucks a little to watch flowers be delivered to my coworkers all day long ... but who needs flowers anyway?) The people I love know that I love them, and I don't really think it takes a special day to tell them that.

On this "day of love" I'm just going to tell you some of the things I love most in life:

My family

My friends

My job/coworkers/kids

Being healthy/active

Playing in the kitchen

Independence ;)

Reading in bed

Hot showers

Long walks on the beach

...oh, oops... got a little carried away

Truthfully, though, I love my life and I'm truly blessed. 

I celebrated today with a 3.5 mile run... to show my body how much I love it :) Training really is amping up. Last week I racked up 8.5 miles total... and this week I'm already up to 7.5 miles in 2 days! I love being able to see improvement! Just a few short weeks ago it was a struggle to run a mile... and now I'm unstoppable! ;) Not really. But it continues to remind me that I CAN do this. And I WILL.

My romantic Valentine's dinner was a mushroom, spinach and goat cheese quesadilla with kale chips on the couch by myself. Catching up on last week's Bachelor, and then watching the new one. Hey, if I don't have anyone to love on, why not watch other people get loved on? 

Hope your day of love was LOVEly!
