1. Social runs have become one of my favorite aspects of running. What's better than doing what you love with friends of like minds?? Hanging out post run enjoying a meal and each others company while talking races and upcoming running events. Social/group runs use to really intimidate me but then I met a great group of running buddies and it's now something I look forward to! They get what I'm doing and share my interests. I'm looking forward to a fun rest of the year with all my running buddies.
2. Are you curious at all about how my week has gone as far as running/working out? No?? say it isn't so!
Monday- My husband and I joined the group run. I went ahead of him with the front packers and Terri. We finished just a little over 3 miles in around 31 minutes.
Tuesday - I crossed trained with my husband. We did some elliptical work then he killed me with kettlebells. I'm still feeling those sumo deadlifts today!
Wednesday - Terri and I joined the WNRs for a social run and bag stuffing. Our goal was to go "slow" and stay around 10-10:30 pace but we failed at that. Almost 4 miles at 9:51 pace while dodging raindrops and lightning.
Thursday - an active rest day. I did some very light walking and bike work.
Friday - REST
3. I have a little race tomorrow morning and by little I mean just a 5k. It's a course I have ran on some training runs but a race I haven't ran before. I'm anxious as I have lofty goals for this race. At the finish line though all I want is a PR. I feel like I am ready to run with all my heart and hopefully speed in my legs.
4. I still haven't taken recent measurements but had some major victories off the scale this week. I took some pictures this week and actually uploaded them to my computer. I plan to share at least one soon, when I get measurements. And I was shopping yesterday when my husband encouraged me to try on a couple of things. One being a size M dress from the JRs department and the other some size 8 shorts. I've not been able to really shop in the regular JRs department of a store in over a decade and haven't worn single digit pants sizes since I was in middle school. This really boosted my spirits and was further proof that victory isn't always in the scale but in the sweat
