Two weekends ago, Steve and I made the big trek down to Houston to watch my little sister graduate from medical school!  Woo hoo!

Happy Friday, friends!  I am currently on a plane on my way to Houston to watch my sister graduate from medical school.  Today is going to be a very special day :) followed by a weekend of celebrating and a fantastic week of houseboating with my family in Arkansas! 

what is a silver lining?

silver lining (noun): a sign of hope in an unfortunate or gloomy situation; a bright prospect.

[origin from the proverb: "Every cloud has a silver lining" (1870)]

running recap: week 5

This post is part of an ongoing series to recap my runs as I train for a marathon - you can read more about that here! 

Well, Week 5 didn't quite go as planned.  After my long run from Week 4, I started to really struggle with pain in my left calf muscle.  I tried to push through it for two days, which was not a good idea.  After being unable to walk down the stairs without significant pain, I decided it was time to give my legs (well, really just my left leg) a break.  I'm pretty sure it's my soleus muscle that's causing the problem. 

friday five

Happy (early) Memorial Day!  I am so looking forward to this upcoming three-day weekend.  After that, I have only three days of work and then we're off to Texas for my sister's medical school graduation - and then vacation!  It's going to be a great next couple of weeks. 

I'm linking up here and here with five silver lining moments on this glorious Friday morning!
