Last week was the longest, shortest week ever! It seems like it went on forever. I couldn’t wait until the weekend so I could somewhat relax. Since I joined a new gym, I’ve been really excited about adding variety to my workouts and more weight training. I seriously think I’m becoming a gym enthusiast! After attending mainly classes (Body Step, Body Pump, etc.) for so many years, you get burned out. I’ll still have my weekly Zumba fix! I was supposed to rest on Friday, but I had to make sure I got my required mile in for the Runner’s World Run Streak Challenge. I slept in on Saturday which is rare. I’m usually up by 6:00 a.m. to run followed by Zumba. I needed the rest.
I attended the bridal shower of this sweet bride-to-be, my friend, Russandra! Isn’t she beautiful?! I can’t wait to see her all dolled up on her special day!
After the bridal shower I still had to get my 1 mile run in for the #RWRunStreak Challenge. It was so hot and HUMID! Can’t you tell? I had a 7 miler on the menu, however, the sun went down faster than I anticipated. I headed to the gym to get my remaining 4 miles in—and to my surprise (I don’t know why when I know the hours), it was closed! WOMP!
It was a Beatles kind of day on Sunday! I mean seriously, who doesn’t love The Beatles!? I decided they would be a part of my Sunday Runday playlist.
It rained so hard out of nowhere and I was trying to figure out when I was going to go run. It came down pretty hard as if the bottom completely fell out. I normally don’t workout on Sunday, but I’m glad I was able to get in my remaining 4 miles (including 1 mile for the challenge). I had to kick off the month of June right, and I added a cherry on top. I plan to run/walk 50 miles in June! The June challenge is 100 miles, but I’m in Alabama. Pure crazy awesomeness! Now depending on the heat/humidity, I may keep it at 50 or perhaps (maybe) 75 miles. But let’s be honest, 100 is a great goal to strive for!? No? lol Well, I definitely don’t want to go too hard, because I’ve already started pre-training and my official marathon training is right around the corner. Can you say, excited?
Now that summer is almost here, do you have any goals? Are you participating in any challenges?
I leave for St. Lucia in six weeks and I’m in a challenge with myself to see how fit I can be before I leave! :)
And I love, love your Beatles shirt!
Thank you, Alli! And wow, St. Lucia! You are going to have an amazing time. Small changes show up in big ways, so you can do it!
My goal is to workout atleast 3 days per week..
Well that’s a great goal to work towards! You can do it!!!
