Went to a wedding yesterday and I was FEEEEELING THIS LOOK. I swear we were the fanciest people there. Of everyone. also. Look at that handsome man. 😻we’re home now and I’ve never been so happy to see my soft bed. OH. Also. Proud. I did run yesterday before the wedding! The altitude got to me a little but it was still good!!! 😍😍😍

Change of Perspective

I used to scroll through my posts and wonder if anyone was even reading them, considering they only were getting maybe a like or two, and a reblog if I was lucky.  

Now I’m like, duh, stupid.  You were getting followers, not likes.  And followers are better than likes, because a like means you did good on one post but followers mean, “Hey, I like the things you write in general, let’s see some more of that stuff.”

And that’s pretty cool.  And now there’s 750+ of you!  That’s even cooler!

Holla to you all :-)  and happy and healthy whatever you are doing :-)

Revamped my running playlist after midnight so I can get motivated to run tomorrow! Sidebar- anyone watch the gaga documentary? I cried 3 times for a long time. So good. My half marathon is only 11 days away! (Whaddup jtown down!) And the full is about 50. Aaaaahhhh! It's happening!

YOOOOO. I had my first speed work day on Wednesday and it went well! Wednesday was overall a good day. I had class early then went to lunch and got a manicure with my friend then went to the gym to do this speed work. 12 x 400 meters. I used the reminders list on my phone to track the intervals because I know I would've gotten lost. I ran the intervals at a 9:00/mile pace which actually felt pretty good. I walked in between 1-2 minutes depending on how tired I got between intervals. My legs felt good after and I was glad it was only 40 minutes instead of my normal 50-75 mins. Nice short workout. I'm heading out soon to stop by the ceramics studio at school to work on my project a little then to the gym or maybe for a run outside since it's cooling off here. Babysitting tonight til lateish so I'll update here then!

Yesterday was great! I ate and drank too much with the person I love and I took the day off of running because I could. It was a babes holiday as we called it. But I was back at it today. 4 miles that weren't so bad! Except I had to go to the bathroom like 4 times during it since I ate so much and drank so much yesterday! But the Miles felt pretty good!! Tonight I made this chocolate zucchini bread. PROBABLY DELICIOUS. DONT KNOW YET. Tomorrow has another 4 miles on the schedule and I think I'll be fine! Other than that-- NO REAL PLANS. maybe the pool? Maybe weeding the garden? Maybe at home HIIT workouts? IM SO EXCITED! Today's run brought to you by: -Drake -The Mexican food I had last night that made my mileage higher since I had to run to the bathroom 4 times -The guy at. LAF who kept reminding me that they closed at 10 Run#12/96 Happy running! Happy Friday! Happy happy!

So gross. So. Gross. I actually switched my off day to yesterday since I am hanging out with my bff in VA so I ran today instead. This run was so sweaty and have I mentioned, gross? As they all have been lately but felt pretty good. My friend Will recommended that I get those leg sleeve things for circulation and I'm definitely ordering them soon. My legs were a little sore during miles 3-4. But I did it. KILLED IT! I forgot to screen shot today's music choice :( BUT Today's run brought to you by: Aqua My sore sore calves My toes that desperately need painting Run # 9/96 Total Miles: 28ish? Happy running!

I ran another 4 sweaty but FAST miles tonight!!! I got sidetracked by some friends I unexpectedly ran into at the gym so I didn't take a picture of it but swear it happened! Also I've been using my fitness pal to try and track my calories since I know my cardio is on point right now with all of this running and I haven't been losing much weight. So. I'm trying to be better and if I can see what I ate and how much maybe I'll finally start to see the number go down steadily. This is MFP prediction (totally unrealistic, as that is nearly 18 lbs in 5 weeks) but it got me thinking about how since I'm running almost daily it *could* actually happen sooner than I thought. Also. Made these tacos with the leftover pork from the bahn mi bowls yesterday. They aren't pretty but damn if they weren't delicious. I've been feeling really good lately about my runs and after them I feel fantastic. My legs haven't been hurting as much and I am not winded nearly as quickly as before. Starting to love running again and I'm so excited to see what the next 14 weeks have to offer 😍😍🤗 another 5 miles tomorrow! See you then!!!
