Fitness Friday–April 19
Here’s how my week looked:
Saturday – 3.5 mile mud run – ReALLIEty Challenge
Sunday – Rest Day
Monday – 4.5 mile track workout
Tuesday – 4.09 mile run for Boston
Wednesday – 25 minute Biggest Loser workout
Thursday – Rest Day
Friday – Hoping for a long run after work
Yesterday, a patient we had not seen in a while called our office. He called specifically to check on me! I asked why and he wanted to make sure everything was ok and I wasn’t harmed in Boston! Instead of me calling to check on him, he was calling to check on me! It really warmed my heart and made me smile. We have the best patients, ever!
A few pictures from my week:
I tried something new at McAlister’s on Sunday – 1/2 sweet tea, 1/2 lemonade! It was delicious but will not take the place of my beloved sweet tea in my heart! :0)
This awesome RunnerBox arrived at my doorstep this week and I cannot wait to dig in! Review to come soon!
I won a giveaway this week, too! I entered a photography DSLR Basics class giveaway from A Royal Daughter via The Influence Network and I won! The class was held on Tuesday night, was presented by Monica, and it was AMAZING! Monica was incredibly down to earth and spoke on an amateur level. She reviewed the basics of DSLR photography and I learned SO much from her! I’m looking forward to trying out her tips/techniques soon!
This week, I also began the process of pressure washing the deck in our backyard for re-staining. I have big ideas for my backyard area and can’t wait to see the finished product!
Last but not least, Madalynn says hi and really enjoys when I give her extra large-sized treats!
Have a fabulous weekend!! What are your weekend plans? I have another busy one and can’t wait to share my adventures with you! :0)
Never heard of Keek...joined and followed you..it sounds like fun...I have never won a giveaway...that must feel awesome to have won..
ReplyDeleteYAY! Thanks Caroline! I'm going to find you, too! :0)
DeleteNice week of workouts Karen. By the way, 1/2 tea and 1/2 lemonade is known to golfers as the "Arnold Palmer" after the famous golfer! I love it!
ReplyDeleteYES that's it!! The Arnold Palmer! I couldn't remember the name...thank you!! :0)
DeleteNever heard of Keek, but I don't think I could/should get any more social media outlets...just too much for me.
ReplyDeleteThat's so sweet about your patiend checking up on you! Oh, and sweet tea is the best! (Even though I know it's got a ton of sugar and is super not healthy, nothing's going to stop me from having the very occasional sweet tea) :) And congrats on winning the ARD giveaway!! Sounds like an awesome prize.
Have a great weekend!
I completely understand where you are coming from! So many social media outlets its hard to keep up! :0) Yes, sweet tea is not healthy but it's a treat for me...I grew up on it, living in the south. :0) Thanks you have an awesome weekend as well!
DeleteGreat week Karen! Madalynn looks like she's going to be entertained for hours with that bone.
ReplyDeleteThanks! :0) Yes, I had to take it away from her for a while but she will get it back this afternoon! :0)

ReplyDeleteThanks! Hope the rain holds off! Have a great weekend!
DeleteI don't have a keek, I'm not much for video. I am starting the same process (the deck) this weekend. NOT looking forward to it :) But I love when it's done and I can enjoy the yard! Have a great weekend!

I searched the web for boxes/discounts and stumbled up on a few codes. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteA woman I work with came by my desk on Monday and gave me a hug and told me she was so glad I was there and I was safe. It made my day to have someone show me they cared like that. :-)
ReplyDeleteAww that was very sweet!
