Running, Family & Friends, and Pumpkin Cookies!

Welp. We did it again! Another 5k done!
My work sissy and I finished the 1st Annual Palmer 5K :) 

And we kicked butt! Both of us beat our last 5K times :)
Last time- 43:30
This time- 35:13!!
Eff yeahhhhh buddy!
AND I felt like complete death great afterwards! My feet were screaming at me...but that's because I hardly walked :)

Today is a different story though haha! My recovery run later on will be interesting...to say the least!

After our awesome finish, sissy got me DD! Ahhhhh so amazing!

Idk if I told you...but...since I bought those compression socks for myself...and hubby doesn't understand why I spent that much money on them....I agreed to push a DD strike on myself for 2 weeks. Oh. Em. Gee. This is the hardest thing I've done alllll year long! Especially since I stop for coffee almost every morning. Aye yai yai. However, the clause doesn't say anything about other people buying it for me!!! Tehehehe :) 

Then to continue with the GLORIOUS weather, I went to my family picnic to chow down on some hert dergs and hermbergers! Ermergerd! We had a birthday cake for my Mimi and one of my other kinda related relatives! Haha.

I left the picnic to get ready for the perfect night for a fire with some of mah bestest friends! 

(Saturday was jammed PACKED with fun!)

I made some beer bread, spinach and artichoke dip, smore's stuff, and........

I got to make my FAVORITE cookies of ALL TIME yesterday!
