Life in Michigan's Upper Peninsula

WIAW: Lots of PR’s

05/22 by Leigha 9 Comments

Fashion Friday {5/20-5/24}
Cellcom Green Bay Half Marathon!

Hello Wednesday! I can’t believe you’re here already.

It was the last track meet of the season yesterday. It was my last chance to get a school record!

The two mile was first. My first lap was a 1:24 and then they started getting slower.. oops πŸ˜‰ Anyway, I missed the school record.Β By a second. My time was 12:22. Ugh!! I guess that’s just more motivation for high school. At least I PR’ed!

Soon after that was the 800. I was planning on taking it easy since I pushed it pretty hard in the two mile. That didn’t happen though, I had a super tight race with another girl. I ended up winning with a time of 2:42.Β 4 seconds away from that record. UGH. At least I got another PR!

And my last event – shot put. That event was totally unexpected this year. I ended up doing pretty well, 26’11”. Good enough for second place, and also another PR!

So while I didn’t break any school records, I did break my own. I guess that’s still pretty good πŸ™‚ I swear this track season went by so fast!

After the meet I wasΒ suuper hungry so we went out for dinner. I got French toast – I deserved it! It’s just so yummy. Thick Texas toast, powdered sugar, melted butter, syrup,Β it’s okay to have once in awhile πŸ˜‰

You don’t go to that restaurant without one of their cookies.Β So. Good.Β Oatmeal, chocolate chips, almonds, ohh my gosh. It’s love. And huge.

Two nights ago we went to my dad’s for dinner. Kind of like Cooking with Lynn except she did all the cooking! I can’t explain how yummy it was. It just had so.much.flavor. I definitely had thirds, haha πŸ˜‰ they were small portions!

Somewhat healthy alfredo with whole wheat penne, broccoli, cauliflower, and zucchini. Oh man it was good. I don’t know the recipe but I know she used Greek yogurt. Perfect prerace dinner.

Time is just flying by. 8 more days of school! πŸ˜€

Thanks to Jenn for hosting the party, as always! Have a super day πŸ˜‰

      I know.. 3 PRs in one meet is pretty good! It’s from a local restaurant. I think it is my favorite cookie ever! And I’ve eaten a lot of cookies haha πŸ™‚
