This week has been a busy one and it seemed to fly by! I’m SO glad it’s the weekend once again! I’m really looking forward to this weekend for many reasons:
#1 – Mandisa, Brandon Heath, and Jamie Grace in concert!!! This past week, MANDISA tweeted me. I’m not lying, I almost died from excitement!! Eeek
#2 – Our nearby University (and my alma mater) is hosting a weekend softball tournament and the proceeds benefit local cancer patients! Softball…..cancer benefit…I’m so there! I’m really excited to watch the games!
#3 – My brother/sister in law are coming for a visit and we are going to have a crawfish boil and celebrate Kayla’s Birthday! Can’t wait!!
Now for the REAL reason of this post – Fitness Friday!
I didn’t have the greatest week workout wise. Here’s a breakdown of the week:
Saturday – 11 Mile Run (and Easter Egg Hunt)
Sunday – Rest Day
Monday – Sprint/Track Workout 3.25 miles
Tuesday – Walked the Dogs
Wednesday – Walked the Dogs
Thursday – 3 miles on the treadmill
Friday – Hoping to squeeze time to walk the dogs again...
After Monday’s track workout, I was incredibly sore for days. DAYS. Every time I stood up, sat down, and walked (so pretty much with any movement), my right hamstring screamed at me. Since that was my first sprint workout in at least a year, I guess I had a reason for the soreness!
I’m finally feeling mostly back to normal and was able to run 3 relatively painless miles on the treadmill on Thursday afternoon. Yay!
Saturday is another long run with the running group. Not sure yet how far we are running – 8 to 10 miles is my guess.
As far as Favorites, here’s a few things I’m currently loving:
Snowcones! I’ve had one this season so far and am looking forward to at least a few more before summer is over! :0) My favorite flavors are Banana (weird, I know) and Pink Bubble Gum!
Clinique Facial Wash! This one took me by surprise. I was searching for something to wash my face with and came upon a abag of Clinique samples I never used (you know, the ones that come with their bonus buy cosmetic bags). I tested out the face wash and it was meant to be! I love this stuff! :0)
Have you had a snowcone yet this season?
What’s your big weekend plans?

I'm excited to go find some shoes! (That will have to be my poor substitute for snowcone until it gets a little warmer in KC!)
ReplyDeleteShoes are good too!! Sounds like a good substitute to me! :0)
DeleteGreat week of workouts girl! Snowcones...yum!!!! Yes I had my first one on the way to New Orleans last weekend...I got wedding cake! Yum! Have a great weekend with your family!
ReplyDeleteThat Snowcone looked delicious, too! You have a great weekend as well! :0)
DeleteThat is an exciting twitter message! Thanks for the advice on what to wear Sunday for the #CuCB.
ReplyDeleteWelcome! :0) Hope you have a great race!
DeleteSnowcones YUM!! I don't think we have any of those open here yet, but now you've got me craving a slurpee from 7 11, LOL.. I'm hoping to get a nice little run in tomorrow, rain, snow or whatever:)
ReplyDeleteYum a slurpee! Hope you get your run in...and enjoy that slurpee as an afternoon treat!! :0)
DeleteI love that you are eating snow cones already! I know there are a couple places here that do them but don't know if they are open yet. We did stop by the seasonal ice cream place.
ReplyDeleteI don't think we have much going on. God willing, I might have my first date night in 5 months but I'm holding out till it happens. I'm also running 10 on Sunday.
Crossing my fingers that your date night works out!! Have a great run, too! :0)
DeleteI'm racing the Stay in the Shade Mountain Man trail race. It's for a good cause too - Melanoma research.
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome cause! Have a great race!! :0)
DeleteLove snowcones! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThanks! You too!! :0)
DeleteOh my gosh a snowcone sounds amazing, but I don't even know where I would go about finding one.
ReplyDeleteI am running a race this weekend, but am in pain from an old injury so who knows.
Hope the race goes well...I'm crossing my fingers for you!
DeleteI had a snowball yesterday at the triathlon, but ca't wait to have a wedding cake flavored one!
ReplyDeleteNo snow cones, but always make time for fresh fruit smoothies!
