Fitness Friday - 9/12

Hi guys, happy Friday! We are in the 50ish day range for Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend and I can’t wait!

Training is going really well and my knees haven’t been giving me any trouble, just a little achy when I finish a long run (but not IT Band achy). I am pretty sure my lack of IT Band problems are related to my rumble roller. I hate to love it, but I do (cause it hurts so good). It’s been a race saver for me!

Currently training for:
Disney’s Wine & Dine Half Marathon
Louisiana Half Marathon
Rock ‘n’ Roll NOLA Half Marathon
Glass Slipper Challenge

Saturday – 8 mile super humid run with a friend
Sunday – Rest Day 
Monday –  I didn’t feel like doing a thing, so I didn’t. Unplanned rest day. I actually went to sleep early and had a full night’s rest….must have needed it!
Tuesday –  Cross training routine from Pinterest 
Wednesday – 3 mile dreadmill run 
Thursday – 2 miles with Jason 
Friday – Run after work (hoping for 3 or 4 miles, we’ll see)

Here’s a few glimpses of my week:

After Saturday’s run, I began the attempt of taming this crazy jungle.

It took a couple of hours, but I did it! Mexican Heather is insane and makes me cray cray. I trimmed all of the Mexican Heather back and I pulled the crazy weeds. I felt so much better after it was all complete!

These guys came out of hiding this weekend and now my house is all ready for Fall! YAY! This is my 2nd favorite season apart from Christmas. I think I love it so much because the promise of cooler weather is in the air! :)

My puppies were groomed this week – and they NEEDED it, bad. They are all decked out in their LSU garb! Geaux Tigers!

Last but not least, this shipment arrived over the weekend and I couldn’t have been more excited! Hello Keurig! More about this guy on the blog next week! :)

How was your week? How’s your training going?
