Fitness Friday–July 19

It’s Fitness Friday yet again! Weren’t we just here? This week has flown by!



Here’s a look at this past week:

Currently training for: Dumbo Double Dare – August 31/September 1st, Disneyland, CA

Saturday – 10 mile run with my running group
Sunday – Rest Day
Monday – 4 miles – felt a twinge in my right thigh so I took it slow and iced after
Tuesday – Rest Day – still felt a twinge, continued icing 
Wednesday – 3 mile run before work – twinge gone! Yay!
Thursday – 4 mile run with Katie
Friday – Rest Day before long run Saturday

I had a great 10 mile run on Saturday despite the heat/humidity. I made a goal of staying beneath a 10 minute pace and I couldn’t believe I did it!

Yesterday, I met up with Katie for a run after work. Katie signed with our local college’s track team and needed someone to run her endurance run with her. Of course I obliged! Running with a long time pal vs running alone? Hello!

We had a great run and I really enjoyed the company! :0)

I took her by my favorite home along the lake. Seriously, if I could pick ANY home in my town to live in, it would be this one.

Guess it doesn’t help that this home has a cute little water fountain for humans and dogs across the street :0)

I had a great week and really enjoyed my training runs, despite the funky twinge. Thankfully after ice and a rest day, my thigh felt much better!

Hope you had a great week, too! What was your favorite moment this week?

  3. Hey Karen, your town does look very charming. I'll bet that having a nice place to run through right out of your doorstep certainly makes it more inspiring.
    Best of luck with your training and your running group. It's awesome because running burns fat all over the body and is such a great way to get fit. Best of luck.

  4. That house is beautiful!

    Favorite moment of the week - the all-encompassing realizations that I have a job now, I love it, and we're going to be homeowners next week. Great week!
