My name is Sarahfae and I'm a Veggie-holic

Another weekend has flown by. I'm sad to see it go because it's been so nice.

This morning we headed over to the Flea Market (my favorite monthly event!) and I found a few really great treasures. I added to my growing collection of vintage figurines, as well as my collection of fun vintage books, and a few really pretty vintage scarves (I've been wearing them in my hair a lot lately).

At the moment I'm resting with my foot up and an ice pack wrapped tighly beneath my arch. No more pain, but just taking a precautionary move because I ran today for the first time in two weeks. It was SO wonderful, I seriously almost cried because I was so happy to be on the pavement again. My lungs didn't freak out (surprising because I'm still such a newbie runner), and I'm sure it was the adrenaline rush, but I didn't want to stop, and after one mile I felt like I could keep going forever. But I didn't because that would be dumb, since my foot (while almost back to norm) is still on the mend.
It's really incredible how different I felt in the absence of running every day. I definitely needed a break to properly heal my foot, but I also think it was beneficial for me to see how important the activity of running truly is, and it's affect on my day-to-day life. In spite of the fact that I've still been working out daily I knew that the cardio I was missing was so valuable. I found myself with a lack of energy, didn't sleep nearly as well, my motivation to be in the kitchen was totally slumped, and I just didn't seem to care as much about what I was eating. Weird.

Yesterday I made the appointment with Dean to start finishing the bottom half of my right arm in July. I really want to keep what I'm getting a secret, but I'm SOO freaking excited about it --- and when I'm excited I can't keep quiet! My Buster Keaton tribute tattoo...*sigh*...it's gonna be my favorite.

I still have a lot of food pics to post...I haven't forgotten, I'm just lazy. Soon, I promise.
