Marathon training has officially started!

| Extremely sweaty post-run selfie. |
Monday was day one, but Mondays are rest days so I had nothing exciting to report yesterday. I did do a 21 Day Fix workout video and took the dogs on a 2.5 mile walk though.
This morning, I did my first run. I have surprisingly morphed into a morning work out person over the last week. Not sure how that happened, but it has, and I am extremely pleased about it.
My alarm went off at 4:53am, and I was out the door by 5:11am. I had 3 miles on the schedule, and I started out slowly. On Saturday, I ran 2 miles, and I felt burnt out after that run so I knew taking it slow would be key for today's run.
Even though I started slowly, I'm not very good at keeping a consistent pace. My first mile was 11:47, mile 2 was 11:11, and mile 3 came in at 10:41. Yay for negative splits, I guess...
I haven't uploaded my stats from my Garmin yet, and I cannot remember me exactly at the moment, but I did just over 3 miles in 33:xx, and I think my average pace was 11:04.
Besides starting marathon training, I have been keeping up with my 21-Day Fix workouts, and walking the furbabies. Nutrition has not been perfect, but it has been pretty damn good! I'm actually excited for weigh-in tomorrow!
And because I'm not quite sure how to end this post, I'm going to end by sharing some of my favorite pictures over the past few days!
Last night, when I was sitting on the steps to put my shoes on for a walk, I SnapChatted a friend quickly. I noticed there was an adorable photobomber in the background so I had to take a real picture too.

Then my friend snapped me back, and I went to send her another one, and the photobomber was even closer.
Finally, we just took this beautiful selfie together. We're both extremely photogenic :)
On Sunday, after hours of yard work, I was going to go on a 2 mile run. Instead, this happened.
Life is good, and my heart is full <3
Not only is Skittles a photobomber, she is also a spot stealer! I got up to make coffee on Saturday morning, and when I came back to lay down again, she claimed my spot as her own. She's lucky she's so cute!
Love your photobomber - so cute! Our Millie is the same way about stealing spots. If one of gets of the loveseat to get a drink she has stolen our spot before our feet hit the kitchen.
