Happy Patriot's Day

Patriot's Day is a holiday that's celebrated in Massachusetts on the third Monday in April every year.  The holiday commemorates the anniversary of the first battles of the American Revolutionary War.  Also on Patriot's Day, though, is the infamous Boston Marathon.  Beginning last week, more and more visitors made their way to Boston and thanks to the thousands of runners, I declared a work from home day today!  If you're not running or if you don't have the day off from work to watch at the finish line, then you don't want to be anywhere near the city of Boston today.  Hence why I'm snuggled on the couch with Belle watching on TV (I'm working, too - even though Nick thinks any time I work from home that I have the day off, which is beyond annoying!). 

Anyhow, if I were running today - which, let's face it... there's no way in H-E double hockey sticks that I'd ever run 26.2 miles, especially not now when dealing with infertility (oh, and also because I can barely run a (yes, one) mile!).  I'll happily stick to my low-impact barre workout classes for now (well, until my stim cycle, when I have to forgo all exercise completely).  But, if I were running, I'd surely be sporting these:
Yay - my new FAITH Nikes.  I'll take a reminder to have faith any time I can these days, so my new sneaks are perfect for my non-running self right about now!

Those are awesome shoes!! They might (maybe) make me want to run (possibly). Also, one of our REs runs the Boston Marathon! Personally, I think he should be here working on getting us a baby, but whatever.

Oooo love those shoes! There is no way I am running a marathon. Although I am going to do a 5k in May. It's a start right?

I love your Nikes! Awesome colors! I've been working on a pair (customizing it) for the longest time! I go from orange to lime to blue and back to orange, lol Your pair looks like a great combo! :)

I'll just say that I'm glad you weren't running today. Hope you don't know anyone who was hurt. Terrible news.

I'm so glad you were at home working. Terrible news.

I so LOVE love those shoes!! I've done one marathon and feel very accomplished for having done it. I'd love to do it again, but probably never will. I can already say I've done it, so what's the point? :)
