Fitness Friday–12/13

Friday the 13th? Creepy.

It’s already mid-December. I cannot believe how fast this month is flying by. Slow down, December…please? My least favorite day of the year is the day after Christmas. Sad times.

FitnessFriday

Currently training for:
-Rock N Roll New Orleans Marathon – February 2, 2013, Louisiana
-Glass Slipper Challenge, Princess Half Marathon Weekend – February 22 & 23, Walt Disney World

Saturday – Travel Day
SundayWoman’s Half Marathon; Baton Rouge, LA
Monday – Rest Day
Tuesday – Rest Day 
Wednesday – 2 mile run; Squats/Lunges Routine

Friday – Squats/Lunges Routine and 30 Day Core Challenge

Thursday night, I set out for a 4 mile run in my brand new tights.

Cold Weather Running

I bought my tights a size too large and I tugged on the darn things during the entire run. Ah well…lesson learned. Size down.

Mizuno Wave Inspire

I also enjoyed a run in my brand new Mizuno Wave Inspire’s. They’re supposed to be a Christmas present but weren’t wrapped yet. Fair game, right? I sure hope my husband isn’t reading this… (Hi, Jason!)

Mizuno Wave Inspire 9

Madalynn ran very well with me last night – she made it to three miles and wanted to keep running. Three miles is the furthest she’s run this season so far, so I stopped her there.

I have a long run planned on Saturday, although I’m not sure how far just yet. I’m still working out the kinks in my schedule for Rock N Roll New Orleans…it will be here in 8 short weeks! Originally, I hadn’t planned on running any Full’s this year, just Half’s…but I couldn’t help myself. Really long runs, here I come!

I hope you have a great weekend! I have a few Christmas parties and a graduation party to attend. What’s your weekend plans?

  4. Great work this week! Love the story about the tights. I always size up in bottoms but, sadly, never had this problem.

  5. Sounds like you've got a fun weekend planned! I'm running 7 miles tomorrow morning followed by going to Universal Studios Hollywood with my wife. After being the performer last weekend, I get to watch my sister in law sing at her church this Sunday.

    Good luck in your training for a full marathon. I've got one big, crazy long run next weekend. It will be the last one before Disney World. I still can't believe that I'll be running a full marathon in 30 days!

  6. Your new shoes are really pretty. I never am thrilled with the color of my Brooks shoes, but would never change since they fit me perfectly! Anything unwrapped is always fair game in my household!
