Its Pumpkin Season

This week has been quite eventful, I was supposed to start my training for the half-marathon I'm running in April. I'm doing a couch to half-marathon program which is a 6 month program pretty much designed for the non-runner. I do run fairly frequently and I have been running since my sophomore year of high school so I could have gone with a more rigorous training program but I figured with all of my injuries from XC better to start slow. So tomorrow I'll start on my lazy kid adventure to half marathon greatness... I even got some sweet shoes:

They're supposed to be super stable so hopefully they'll provide all the support that I need! Apparently my feet turn in, or roll funny so I run funny; oh well no ones perfect.

This week was also great in that I got to skype two of my friends who are both currently "down under" I have my old Australian housemate who I have regular skype dates with and they're pretty fun; its always great to connect! I also skyped my friend who's currently studying abroad in NZ and after some technical issues it was great to see her face!!! On the same note one of the gals that I studied abroad with in Sydney will be in town this upcoming weekend and I'm super excited to see her!!!

In the spirit of fall my housemates and I plus some friends went to the pumpkin patch in search of the perfect pumpkin. It was quite an adventure since we got lost on the way there and then it took a long time to find the perfect pumpkin! We were slightly disappointed in how small the selection was, well maybe it was just me. I'm from the Midwest so I'm used to GIANT pumpkins but these were none too shabby. We shared a lot of laughs and dirty pumpkin jokes ( yes they're possible) and after finding our perfect pumpkins and taking our Christmas card photo (get ready) we headed out.
As you can see there was quite the fine selection :)

Today my mom came by to help me redecorate my apartment; she decided that it could use a "friendly" touch. We swung by Target and TJ Max HomeGoods which both have some sweet deals and gave my apartment a pretty good touch up.
It looks like real adults live here now :) We're hosting people on Saturday so we'll see what they say :) I think my next project will be the bathroom since I want to make our whole apartment cute.

Today I also talked to my best guy friend which was great! We talk about once every 5 weeks so it was great to catch up :) my other best friend from Chicago is going to be here in less then 2 weeks and I'm soooo excited!!!

Well that's about all!
