30 Day Running Challenge: Day 30

Show us a sweaty post-run picture!

So this is a terrible picture of me, but it was right at the finish line of the Bayshore Half Marathon this past Memorial Day.  I am in the green.

In better news, I had a great run today.  My pace was quick (for me) and I just felt great!  Which was shocking, seeing as I ate terribly today.

Happy running!  I’m sad the 30 day challenge is over 😦

Such a great workout today!
Just do it.

I love strength training!  As much as I enjoy running, and could run for days, there is something so great about strength training and pushing your body to the limit in that way.  I find that it is much easier to quantify my progress with strength training than with running.

I did some great back squats, lots of kettlebell work (turkish get-ups, overhead swings, etc.), single leg dead-lifts, stability ball knee tucks, pikes and body saws, just to name a few of the moves.  And I FINALLY conquered the tallest plyo-box we have at the gym!

All in all, a great workout, AND  I am down a pound a half.  I will take it!

30 Day Running Challenge: Day 29

Do you like running with a buddy, in groups, or solo? Why?

I used to HATE running with people.  I always found running to be very personal; a great time to reflect and be alone with your thoughts.  I have found, though, that with training, I love having a running buddy, or at least someone to ride a bike along with me.  I find it much harder to stop when there is someone with me.

On a side not: I FOUND MY IPOD LAST NIGHT!!!  Victory for me!

Happy running!  I can’t believe the 30 day running challenge is almost over 😦

Had a sushi date last night at the restaurant where we had our first date.  We happened to be seated in the same spot as we were that night, but this picture was a new addition there.

The waitress came up to our table and said, “Isn’t this the cutest little lovers’ corner?”

Paul’s first reaction was to say, “She’s my ex-wife”

You would have to know our sense of humor, but I just cracked up.
