“Lets strech those quads”
Sunday morning run ✅
Went to Hawaii 🌺 for a 5k, 🏃🏻♀️💨 but they messed up the course and I ended up running a 10k in 1:20 😅 not bad but I was exhausted!!! My sister ran a half marathon and did great!!!
Hot Chocolate 15K and the Austin Half are both coming up soon so I really need to start upping my mileage.
So I did my first day of training for the 10K this morning 🏃🏾♀️. I hope I can stick with it because it was rough 🙈LOL. I might try for the 5K instead 😭lol.
I haven't had much motivation for anything lately, so I almost forgot that I signed up for the White River Run that happened today. 😅 Despite my shorts wanting to have a wardrobe malfunction most of the run, I did better than I expected! I switched running shoe brands over a month ago, and it looks like I'm still getting used to them. I'd like to think the run was worth the few blisters though. 😅
(I definitely need to train more for the half marathon that I'm signed up for next month...)
Had the pleasure of joining the "Farmer's Cabbage" race today, a 10k race that rewards every finisher with a grocery bag filled with all the ingredients for Stamppot 🤤 Was still smiling in the photo, but after getting out there it started POURING down. Didn't know it was physically possible to get this wet, but here we are! Did get a PR on my 10k with headwind pretty much the whole way, so there's that
So I did my 6 mile/10k run today as planned. I really didn’t feel like it at the start but picked up pace as I went along. Sometimes the first few miles are a slog but if you stick with it things get better.
I decided to have my dessert and takeaways tonight because I’m cleaning the house and I don’t want to mess up my kitchen after it’s been cleaned. Plus I have to go to the gallery to put hangers on some of the paintings I have there for the next show and I won’t be home until later in the evening. A good excuse to stop by food carts while I’m out and have dinner there. I only get this once a week so I don’t feel bad about having food that isn’t very healthy if I limit it to one dessert and one takeaway meal.
Tomorrow is my long run and I will do 10 miles. I always wear my water vest on days I do a lot of distance and pack a Gu Gel for the halfway point.
Last week I left a gallon of milk in the trunk of the car for 3 very hot days and now the car smells rotten. I have a cleaning service coming to do the interior so hopefully they can get the stench out. Until then I have to drive in a vehicle that smells intensely terrible. Fortunately the only trip I need to make is to the grocery store so it’s a short one. Next weekend we have a road trip to get to my next half marathon, so I really hope the problem is fixed by then.
