Accomplishment and Benihana

On Friday, February 5th:

I Ran 10 Miles!

75 laps.

10.....10! All in one run!

I am so proud of myself!

and yes....I am indeed bragging right now.

Just thought I'd share that with you guys. It was amazing.

My feet were numb the last few miles and it wasn't confirmed until I finished and started to get feeling back.  ha!  Pretty awesome:]

It did take me 1 hour and 40 minutes to run. Which sounds like I crawled the mileage, but actually it means I ran steady, decent 10 minute mile. Which, really, is pretty dang good considering the distance and this was the first time I had ever done that. So yes, I am so happy about this accomplishment :D

In other news, 

After my run that day, protein shake, lunch and all that jazz I went to Mark's house to hang for a bit before going to dinner with his family.  His parents were in town so Mark, me, his mom and dad, his sister and her man, and her daughter all went to the restaurant Benihana.   It's safe to say I had an absolutely amazing time with them!  Everyone was so nice and super funny.  I think everybody else had a good time as well.  Not to mention the food was FANTASTIC!  That, really, was one of the best meals I have had in a long time.  So if you ever have the chance to eat there....you better do it. 

The cool onion volcano!

Before dinner Mark, me and his parents played dominoes where they were staying.  I had no idea how to play the game, but it ended up being really easy and fun!  His mom completely owned us, by the way.  

My Friday was one of the best days ever!

Life is wonderful!  

I couldn't ask for more :D
