Running to the Sun

This week seemed LONG & I couldn't look forward to the weekend more. Yesterday did not disappoint with the 50 degree temps & beautiful sunshine!

Tuesday I didn't get out of work until almost 6pm & it had been snowing all day. The city of Pittsburgh sucks at treating their roads, therefore it took me an hour & a half to make it home.. I even slid down a huge hill! Thankfully I didn't hit anyone, but it was enough to freak me out & call my Dad to talk me through the rest of the drive! I can always count on that guy to talk me through how to drive in the snow :)

This week I did well with getting to training. I went Monday morning, but then didn't get my lazy ass out of bed Tuesday or Thursday morning to get there for 6am. I unexpectedly had the day off on Friday so I scheduled myself a 9am workout. I woke up Friday morning from a dream that really screwed me up (I don't even remember what it was about.. but it scared me enough to where I woke up sweating & out of breath) - so I put on my gym clothes & drove to the gym. I normally don't take my purse into the gym with me.. I mindlessly threw my keys into my bag & got out of the car. FACEPALM. I locked my keys in my car. Super way to start the day. Thank God for AAA. I got my workout in & the guy showed up around 10:45AM. After that debacle, I went to the nail salon & got a mani/pedi. It was glorious. I immediately felt better about the crappy morning I had just had.

^ We were really just laughing because we knew Gill was taking our picture & we didn't know how to act :-P

Friday evening I met up with a bunch of girlfriends for Restaurant Week at Station! All of us got our buzz on & ate some really good food! I had chicken liver mousse for the first time EVER & it was delicious. As I get older, I'm becoming way more open to trying new foods! My second course was hangar steak & my dessert was a chocolate PB concoction. Chocolate & PB? Count me in. Sorry for the lack of pictures - I only posted on my IG stories! For the lucky ones who already follow me there - you saw the goodness *heart eyes*

Saturday morning I hit up training again (boy am I sore...) & successfully did NOT lock my keys in my car ;) Afterwards I headed out to Ohiopyle State Park which is about a 90 minute drive east. It was an absolute BEAUTIFUL day. Here's some pictures I took from the afternoon!

I'm really glad I got out there with my camera this weekend - the weather has been so cold & dreary. I've really been needing sunshine & crisp weather. School starts again tomorrow (I've had 6 weeks off! I'm ready to get back to the grind) & I'm really excited to start. I'm taking an Exercise Physiology course & a Personal Fitness Training course! It's going to be a tough semester, but I'm excited to potentially sit for my Personal Trainer certification at the end of May! I'll find out tomorrow if that's what I'm on track for. Fingers crossed! I can't wait for my career journey to truly start. I can gain some experience with part time training clients =)

I hope ya'll had a wonderful weekend enjoying friends, family & the beautiful weather!
