Fitness Friday–August 2

It’s August!

Know what happens in August? Well, actually three important events happen in August – My Birthday, Vacation, and Dumbo’s Double Dare (aka the Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend)!! Know what else? All three events just so happen to fall during the SAME week! Can we say YAY?! Happy dance!

My little boogers are happy it’s August, too! Oh wait, never mind…they were pretending to be excited about August, but were actually looking forward to the bribe treat I was holding in my hand….whoops.

Friday has returned again, therefore it’s time for another Fitness Friday…

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

Saturday – I was incredibly lazy on Saturday and didn’t run at all – the last guest left VERY late from my mom’s birthday on Friday night and I was WORN out. Too many events in one weekend for me!
Sunday – Rest Day
Monday – 4 mile run and it was HOT!
Tuesday – 3 mile run…another hot one! 
Wednesday – Rest Day
Thursday – Rest Day 
Friday – 6 mile run

I haven’t experienced any running issues lately (knock on wood), despite the hot sun, humidity, etc.  I have to constantly remind myself to slow down so I don’t kill my entire run.

I’m planning on running 6 miles today followed by 12 on Saturday. After that, I’ll only run one additional back-to-back for Dumbo (my next back-to-back falls in a couple of weeks).

I have another BUSY weekend ahead. Family is coming in from Missouri for a visit – Friday night, then Jason has family in from Kansas – Saturday night, and Sunday night is an end of the year ceremony and awards for girls at church (I’m the program coordinator). After this weekend, I will hopefully be able to relax and finish planning our San Diego/Disneyland vacay. I’m definitely looking forward to the relaxing part! :0)

I hope you have a fabulous weekend! Any plans?

    Wow that is going to be a great weekend for you! When I went to the Princess Half Marathon last year it was a vacation, my first half marathon and I got engaged the weekend before. It was awesome! :) Can't wait to hear about your fun times in Disneyland!
