    -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:).

    SO SO jealous of the weather there!!

    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...

Just a Handful is Enough! Bra Review and Giveaway

You know those people who said running is the cheapest sport because all you need is shoes? Well, they're clearly not women. For me to have a successful run, I need a good pairs of shoes, wicking socks, shorts that don't chafe me, a non-cotton top, my Garmin, some body glide, and a sports bra. And let's be honest here--sometimes finding the right bra can be the most difficult part of all.  For my chest size (aka the cups aren't exactly "running over") it seems like sports bras come in two styles: 1) flattening compression bras 2) completely unsupportive bras Well, call me vain if you want, but I like to have support when I run, and also keep a little shape. And I definitely want people to recognize that I'm a woman when I run past! That's why I'm so excited to be the proud new owner of a  HANDFUL  bra!  I'm in love!  Handful bras  are designed to "flatter, not flatten" and it's true! Removable pads contour the body and keep so...

Chobani Review and Giveaway!

I'm pretty sure it's not a secret that me and Greek yogurt are in a serious relationship. I know, I know...hubby can read this. But he's well aware of the affair. At least once a day I need my fix. Sometimes it's a mid-morning snack with fruit, or a lunchtime topper for baked potatoes. Other times it's the sweet dessert topped with fruit and chocolate shavings that completes my night. Plain, vanilla, fruity...I could wax poetic about the stuff for ages. Don't worry, I won't. What I will say is that as much as I love Greek yogurt, I figured it was all the same. I saved a little money (18 cents on each container at my local store) in order to get the cheaper no-name brand. Then Chobani was on sale, so I picked up a few. Um, this stuff is THICK! So much creamier and thicker - and tastier - than any other brand I've tried. Sorry, extra 18 cents. You are now being diverted to my Chobani fund. I won a Chobani giveaway a couple of weeks ago hosted by ...
