So, apparently I don't do anything on Sundays because this post is late yet again. Not as bad as last week though! Let's embrace that silver lining, shall we?
Last week? I was pretty okay, I guess.
Sunday - Rest day
Monday - Rest day
Tuesday - 2 miles treadmill w/Samantha (fastest mile ever!)
Wednesday - Rest day
Thursday - 1 mile treadmill w/Samantha
Friday - 1 mile treadmill, .5 mile elliptical and 1.5 miles bike w/Samantha
Saturday - Rest day
Total mileage - 4 miles
Meh. Not super awesome. But I went out and did stuff so that's good.
As you almost definitely already know, the Star Wars Half Marathon weekend sold out today and the Rebel Challenge sold out in 26 minutes! I'm really glad I got in there early. Also, I've changed my outfits for the races. I know I said I was going to be a rancor but the logistics of that would be insane. So here goes: for the 5k I shall be R2D2; for the 10k I shall be Princess Leia; and for the Half I shall be Han Solo. Bam! Decided!
I've also been working on ideas for my costumes for all of my races. For Wine and Dine, I'm torn. I was thinking a holiday theme. But then I feel like for my first half I should channel my spirit animal: Donald Duck. Yeah? Yeah? Maybe?
Are you running Star Wars?
Should I be Donald Duck for Wine and Dine?

Week in Review
Not to brag or anything, but I am awesome! I rocked this week like no other week before it!
Sunday: Walked Epcot with Pattserella for our Friendaversary
Monday: 2 mile treadmill run with Samantha + 10 minutes elliptical
Tuesday: 2 miles treadmill run with Samantha
Wednesday: Rest Day
Thursday: 1 mile treadmill run with Samantha + 30 minute circuit
Friday: 2 mile treadmill run with Samantha + legs and arms machines
Total Miles: 7 miles
Run Fund Total: $52
Ok, so not only did I run 4 days this week, I also cross trained! Not even one of my goals last week. Over achiever, me.
So goals from last week were:
1. Run 3 times - Done and then some! Ran four times this week, woohoo!
2. Run solo - I meant to... I really did. Samantha was getting her hair done on Wednesday so wasn't going to go to the gym so I was going to go on my own then but I decided I needed a rest day.
And next week I plan to continue to rock it!
1. Run 3 times - 4 weeks down, 2 to go until I get to buy myself something expensive and beautiful! I'm debating between the Garmin Forerunner 220 and the Nike+ GPS Watch.
2. Run outside - It's Florida! I know it's hot! But running outside on the pavement is important. I don't want to become too dependent on the treadmill. Races are run outside on the pavement so I need to get used to both.
It's going to be a great week! I can feel it!
How did your workouts go this week?

Motivation Monday
Happy Monday! I did a LOT of pining on Pinterest and I found this gem to motivate myself:
If the Rhino can hit the treadmill to become a magical Unicorn then I can hit the treadmill to become a magical Sarah.
Also, I have been dangling a carrot in front of my face for the last few weeks to get in the habit of running: Expensive things! I want the Garmin Forerunner 220. I WANT IT NOW! But I’m making myself wait until I am running consistently, which for me is 3 times a week. And I have to do it for 6 weeks so hopefully it will become a non-negotiable at that point. That is why that has been one of my goals every week so far.
Speaking of which, here's an update on my goals from last week...
1. Run 3 times per week - nailed it! I didn't even half ass it this time. Woohoo!
2. Research cross training - nope. Didn't do it.
3. Join a gym - done! Samantha and I were going to do the Pi-K Group Run on Tuesday but it was hot so we went to her gym instead and I liked it so much I got a membership that very day!
And my goals for next week:
1. Continue to run 3 times/week - 3 weeks down, 3 weeks to go.
2. Run solo – I'm going to be running races alone for the most part so I won’t have Shelila or Samantha there to pace me so I need to get used to the solitude and regulate myself a little better.
And another motivating factor: my run fund has continued and my total is now $38. So yay!
