Fitness Friday–August 9

This past week, I spent most of my time catching up on sleep and visiting with family. I even managed to squeeze in a few workouts, too!

Pixie likes to nap while I work out! :0)

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

Saturday – 12 mile run with the running group
Sunday – Rest Day 
Monday – Rest Day – I was still exhausted from Saturday and the busy weekend
Tuesday – 2 mile run
Wednesday – 3 mile run
Thursday – Rest Day 
Friday – 5 mile run

I had too much going on last weekend and wasn’t able to add in the 6 mile run on Friday like I wanted. I will run a 5 miler this afternoon and I’ll run 10 miles tomorrow with my running group to make up for my lack of a back to back run last weekend.

Additionally, we were able to spend a little more time with Jason’s sister/husband and our niece Leigha before they left to return home.

Her cheeks remind me SO much of pictures I’ve seen of Jason’s cheeks as a baby! Too cute!

Yesterday, Laura and I spent the afternoon decorating Lacey’s driveway/house for her return from Austin! We had SO much fun…but it was HOT out there!

No “welcome home” party is complete without balloons!

This sign was placed on her back door – we included pictures of everyone involved in our little scheme! :0)

This is her favorite Ariel quote…it’s a pretty good one, too! :0)
