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 ...

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...

Weekend

I love weekends. I wish they were longer...doesn't everybody? It was quite the lazy weekend too, being that it was so hot out. I ran Sunday...kind of. It was so hot, I hadn't had enough water, or food for that matter, so I cut my run short. And then we opted to eat out instead of cooking. I really need to cook this week. And maybe not drink. Except I have half a bottle of red left over from last night's Bachelorette finale fiesta with E.  Monday. Oh Monday. Cancelled my run once again when the car told me it was 102 outside. Can't wait to be able to run in the mornings. Last night was the Bachelorette season finale so E came over for dinner and some wine. I now love sweet potatoes and I may have had a little too much to drink. And then decided it was a good time to update my iOS on my iphone. I'm still trying to get my phone back to where it should be. It made me do a complete restore, then I couldn't restore from a current backup and when I was f...
