    -Abs: various
    -100 Push-up Challenge: Week 6, Workout #2
    -1 Mile short walk

Total Weekly Mileage: 36 (33.5 Running, 2.5 Walking)

I got a comment last week from Beth saying that her weekly recap includes goals for the following week. I love that idea, so here are my goals for the coming 7 days:


--include 3 strength training sessions this week (and don't let 5 days pass in between them this time!)
--Have running mileage between 34-36 miles
--Include one 14 mile run this week


Today was an awesome day of exploring the area and I'm going to write a mega post on it tomorrow because there was so much to tell! I will tell you it included an ice-cream cone and 80+ degree weather!






What are your goals for this week?


Tell me one great/interesting thing you did this weekend!

    Awesome week! I find laying out my goals give me a sense of direction for the coming week.

    I had an awesome fun run this week and toured Arlington Cemetery for the first time (despite living within 2 miles of there for the past 3 years...)

    This weekend...I went on a bike ride by the beach and caught up with my best friend. Not super interesting but super relaxing:).

    My goals for the week are a 15 miler next weekend; to stretch before and after every workout AND on my rest days; to follow through on the whole push-up challenge! SO jealous you are one week #6! I did week 1 day 1 yesterday...haha!

    Interesting this weekend...ummm I just took a study break to go geocaching...it was nice to get outside even though it is a bit chilly :)

    The weather was awesome this weekend! I had a planned 12 miles that turned into 10 because I was so hot and humid, but I don't mind. My goals
    Next week are to work on strength training 3x, I always plan on 3 but usually end up with 2.

    Awesome week! I have never really set goals for the week! So here is to my first goal setting... TRY for 25-30 miles this week!

    Our weekend here was hot and WINDY (30-40 mph)... I am ready for our windy season to be over with!

    Hope you have a great week!

    Well....I am going to start the 100 push-ups challenge this week, adding to my ab/strength training, super excited to take this on!
    Also my goal for the month is to run at least 50 miles for the month, so I am working towards that every week too!

    80 degrees and an ice cream cone (let us not forget about the tank top!) JEALOUS. we had almost a foot of snow just last week. luckily it's melted now but, it's still only 40 degrees out there. sniffle.

    thanks for sharing your goals. i like to read that others are out there getting their sweat on. i'm pretending to taper this week for a 1/2 marathon on saturday.

Race the Bar 5k Recap (AKA: A Personal Worst!)

Do you remember a few weeks back, when I was all braggy about running in Florida in February/March? Sunny mornings around a lake with a light breeze off the water have turned, cruelly, into humid stretches of time where I am humbly reminded of my own limitations. You guys, I see these gazelle-like creatures, men and women alike, who prance on my running route with compression socks, a soft glow of perspiration at their brow. It's beautiful. It's also a harsh reminder that I am not them. I am currently running in the thinnest, smallest items of clothing I can without offending anyone (shirt stays on, people). I dare not step outside without some awful visor or wide-brimmed hat. When I hop in the shower after a run, my face is a deep crimson that causes my husband to voice his concern for my general well-being. Have I mentioned this is what happens after my easy runs, with a few walk breaks thrown in? Yeah. It's humbling. Now, I'm not complaining. It's beautiful

Brace Yourselves: Cuteness is Coming

One of the hardest things about moving, for me, was wondering how the cats would adjust each time. Although our cats are super travelers at this stage, I feel really guilty every time we have to pack them up and force them onto a plane. I remember my grandma telling me years ago that when she moved with a cat, they put butter on their paws. That way, the cats spent the first day in a new house licking their paws to get them clean, and that was enough time to lose the "smell" of the old house. I love that story, and I wish the same principle applied to longer moves. Anyway, that's a super long intro to say that for the fellow cat ladies out there, our three fur babies are insanely happy in this jungle gym of a home here in Florida. It's warm, there are plenty of sunny spots to curl up a take a nap, and they have lots of room to spread out. Despite the space, of course, they still usually want to take a nap on my head at night. Obviously. They also love climbing on ou

Running Jewelry Giveaway from The Run Home!

Running has a tendency at times to make me feel just a little less feminine that I might like. The curves might disappear just a little (well...the top ones at least. Bottom ones are still out in full force) and I spend more time fiddling with my Garmin than I do putting on make-up. So I love when I can show my interest in running with a beautiful, feminine piece of jewelry. I recently received two necklaces from the great people at The Run Home.   They have an Etsy store full of inspirational necklaces, bracelets and more for athletes. I received this beautiful necklace in the mail from them: A cute running shoe, heart, and a hand-stamped 26.2 charm. In all honesty, I don't think I'll wear this until I have finished the marathon in November. Kind of like wearing a race shirt before you completed the race! But it will make the perfect reward and I can't wait to wear it with pride. The Run Home sent everything to me perfectly packaged--like it was a gift. I loved that:
