Finally Friday

It's been another week. Here's another blog...

Last weekend I went out to run 10 Saturday morning. It did not go well. I literally stopped 2 miles in to text K, who I knew was running 10 on Sunday, to see if I could tag onto her run tomorrow. I ended up running 6 and by the time I got back she had said yes, I could run with her on Sunday. 

So Sunday I got up and met her at Terry Hershey Park. We ran together at a pretty comfortable pace for the first 5 miles and on the way back I tried to pick up the pace every mile. And I did. Negative split every mile on the way back. Best thing about a long run with K is that it means brunch! But I did keep it healthy except for that bottle of champagne we split for mimosas 😋

It was a busy week this week. Work is starting to pick and my to do list is about a mile long. I got a huge chunk of the mobile app completed, but there's still more to do. And my next big looming deadlines are the spectator map, race day program and the media guide - 80+ pages each.

What else, what else. Oh right. I'm running a half marathon on Sunday.  Should be...interesting. My running had been going really well and then I slacked off for a week or two or three. I've done one double-digit run. There are def races I have been less prepared for. But I wanted to run fast this time. I still may. We'll see how it goes.

I got to watch Gordeaux late Saturday morning, he missed his dad...

Until it was nap time.

Terry Hershey Park

My last mile was my fastest mile

Mimosas make everything better.


Easy three, taper time with a half coming up this weekend.


Finally going grocery shopping, still need more. And brussel sprouts on the stalk are weird.

Here's what: August 15

Here's what three things I'm obsessed with this week... If you haven't seen this photo of Usain Bolt winning the men's 100m at the IAAF World Championships, you might be living under a rock. There are five sessions, and some pretty good events, left to go at Worlds. And Team USA is currently sitting atop the medal table with a total of 10 medals - 4 gold, 5 silver and 1 bronze. So...I joined a local running club. And I signed up for the marathon training program! Not that I'm signed up for an actual marathon or anything. This particular training group is training for my race, so I can't exactly run that. There are weekly track sessions and long runs are on Saturdays. The program lasts for 22 weeks. Well but we've already missed two weeks bc of other commitments. E and I will be doing this together. We'll see how this goes.  Towards the end of September is something called Social Media Week. It is a leading media platform and worldwide event ...

Are these really the same shoes?

I was so excited to order the pink nike pegasus sneakers that I was swooning over last week. After everything that happened, it was my way of cheering my self up. Then they came in the mail. Now don't get me wrong, I still love them, but I don't love them as much. In person, they are much darker than the picture would have you believe. They are even darker than the picture I took. Must be something about this pink, it always looks brighter in the photo. They look so similar in these pictures. But in person. It's almost a different shoe. Oh well. At least they were on sale. In unrelated news...I called the insurance company on the premise of telling them I was moving but really just wanting an update on my claim. Well the really nice man at State Farm took my banking info so that I wouldn't miss the check, it would just be direct deposited. And he forwarded my claim to someone else to make sure they get started working on. Fingers crossed maybe they will get it d...

New Goals - Lean

So I finally went back for my follow up body fat test last Tuesday. I didn't really know what to expect. I knew I had lost some weight and I could see more muscle definition, but I wasn't sure. I told myself I would be happy with anything under 30% since I was 33.8 the last time I went. So of course in the lead up to the test I had like 5 cheat meals. Insert eye roll here. Saturday was margaritas and Mexican for dinner. Sunday was brunch and champagne and pizza. And then Monday was more Mexican bc of Sunday. Whoops. Clearly I had to run Tuesday morning before the test. hahahaha Then at lunch time I headed over to visit Heather. The got a new machine that's so supposed to be even more accurate than the BodPod and you don't even have to strip down lol. So my new results were: Weight - 147.6 Body Fat - 27.8 So I lost 6.3 pounds and 6% body fat. Total time elapsed between tests was 16 weeks. This places me in the moderately lean category for women. Moving fo...
