Week In Review

Hey hey hey! Happy Father's Day! I just got back from taking my father out for a steak dinner and it was yum-tastic! We all know how much I love food.

Also, I might actually do a post or two this week that aren't a weekly review! What the fudge!? Does that actually happen?

On to the weekly review!

Sunday: Rest Day

Monday: Unexpected Rest Day (headache :()

Tuesday: 1 mile treadmill with Samatha plus half of the 30 minute circuit

Wednesday: I built a house!

Thursday: Rest Day (cause building a house is hard)

Friday: Rest Day

Saturday: Swim Party!

Only one day of running. But I built a house! That's kind of a big deal! Habijax was doing their annual Blitz where they build 25 houses in a week and I helped! Our company is pretty big on community relations so they let about 30 people go and help out. We did siding, and not to sound to egotistical, but we were awesome! Our HR guy was on our team and had to tell me and my friend K. Ward to play nice with each other and we had to explain to him that snarking at each other is how we love.

And yesterday was swim party at Pattserella's house! For about 3 hours, too. The first swim session of the summer! And I found out an interesting tidbit: her boyfriend Frankfurt is considering doing the Goofy Challenge which would be legit awesome! He needs some virtual encouragement! Do it Frankfurt! DO IT!!!

Also, I watched Star Trek: Into Darkness 3 times in the past week. Just thought you should know.

What did you do for Father's Day?

Have you ever participated in Habitat for Humanity?

Tell Frankfurt he should do the Goofy Challenge!

Week in Review

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

Happy Hump Day!

I usually do this on Sunday but I was lazy on Sunday and didn't do anything except nap. So here it is, my week in review for the last week in May.

Sunday - Rest Day

Monday - 3 miles treadmill w/Samantha plus arms, legs and abs

Tuesday - 30 minute circuit plus 1 mile treadmill w/Samantha

Wednesday - Rest Day

Thursday - 1 mile outside with Shelila

Friday - Rest Day

Saturday - Rest Day

Total Mileage - 5 miles

Not so great mileage wise and then Samantha went on a cruise so I slacked off at the end of the week since I didn't have my gym buddy.

I've hit 5 weeks so far running 3 times per week so I've almost earned a new GPS watch!

Also, runDisney announced the highly anticipated Star Wars Weekend at Disneyland! I wasn't planning on doing it but it's the week before my birthday AND it's Star Wars themed so I decided I had to do it. It's fate! Or just the Force working in mysterious ways. My brother told me I should dress up as a rancor and chase people during the race which I think is an awesome idea. Just have to figure it out now. I just registered since I get early registration because of being an Annual Passholder and it was not so great for my money situation but it's going to be my birthday present to myself. At least that's how I'm justifying it to myself. And I'll be saving up pretty hardcore to afford everything while I'm there. So it's ok. I have a plan.

In other news, I ran my fastest mile ever yesterday! And I really needed it. I was starting to get discouraged about my weight and my running but that mile helped my confidence immensely. So hooray!

How did your workouts go last week (and this week so far)?

Are you registering for the Star Wars Half Marathon? Am I going to be chasing you through Disneyland as a rancor?

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?

Week in Review

This week was kind of tedious. The excitement of Expedition Everest was behind me and I'm looking at a long summer without any races to look forward to. Just long training runs in the heat of the Florida summer. I've also been trying to find a 10k somewhere somewhat local so I can get a time for Wine and Dine but it's not going so well because it's Florida in summertime and no one wants to run a 10k in Florida in summertime. 

So this week was a struggle. I had a hard time just getting myself out the door and my weekly activity shows it.

Sunday - Scavenger Hunt portion of Expedition Everest, about 2 miles. Also walked Downtown Disney with Lackey for about an hour.

Monday - Rest day

Tuesday - Rest day

Wednesday - Rest day

 

Thursday - 1 mile solo run

Friday - Unplanned rest day (I was planning on running but Pattserella made beer bread, what's a girl to do!?)

Saturday - 1 mile solo run

Total mileage: 4 miles

I'm counting the tail end of Expedition Everest as a Sunday run. I was also supposed to go to the Pi-K Group Run on Tuesday with Samantha but I went to visit my grandmother instead. 

Saturday was actually a surprise run! It was on my schedule but since we celebrated mother's day that day I figured it would fall through the cracks. But I was sitting in my room at 8 pm and the inspiration struck. I probably would have gone farther but I was wearing new running pants that are a bit too slippery so they kept slipping down my butt and no one wants to see that so I just headed home. Next time I'll wear my normal pants. Lesson learned. 

Would you pass up a run for beer bread? Cause it's delicious.
