We are POWERHOUSES!

Re-cap of 2010 fitness here.

July 1. Thursday — Ran 5k + 1½k run with Alfie
July 2. Friday — Ran 4.41k in 24:47! (First run by myself)
July 5. Monday — Ran 4.41k in 25:30
July 8. Thursday — 1hr Spin, Ran 1 mile, then ran (again) outside for 5k!
July 10. Saturday — Walked 6k with Alfie, then ran 6k


July 11. Sunday — Played soccer
July 12. Monday — Ran 5k with my running buddy
July 13. Tuesday — Ran 7k on trails
July 16. Friday — Co-ed Soccer
July 18. Sunday — Played soccer and hurt my leg

July 27. Tuesday — Got back on the trails and ran for 2.5k then QUIT. I ended up leaving the forest and finding my way back to the car which probably ended up in a 7k run regardless.
July 29. Thursday — Ran a slow (38 minute) 6.5k with the running group. Definitely what I needed to get me back into it.
July 30. Friday — Ran 6k in 35:49 with the boyf.

Okay, so all I did was basically run all July. I stopped for a good bit to let my leg rest. But other than that, I think I’m doing pretty well!

Boy I’m tired….

Had a busy weekend indeed.

I was super nerdy and took my car out to snap some photos of it while it was all shined up. Because I knew the very next morning we’d be driving 300+kms to Muskoka and it’d be all bugged up on the front. The boyf had a triathlon up there so we got back not too long ago — I have to say I don’t think I’m a fan of driving 4 hours each way in less than 24 hours. Even though I wasn’t the one driving, I’m still pretty exhausted. I’ll post photos tomorrow some time. It was fun I even tweeted all day about it — go ahead and follow me! 

My top got a few compliments though! I ordered it off Etsy and I freakin love it.

Obviously.

Will post more tomorrow, I should probably get supper on the go…

Nothing much new over on this end

Referring back to yesterday’s post… how do you pick out a cleaning lady? I’m always paranoid that they’ll steal stuff on me.

I put together a super cute outfit yesterday. Here’s a sneak peak of it before Friday’s OOTWW. It definitely helps save time in the morning getting everything ready on Sundays, and if I don’t want to wear something that I put together (like yesterday I almost looked like a Nurse, because I first had a white top picked out. It was terrible.) I just grab whatever else is on the shelf and put it on.

Tonight’s running is out, again. I’m still annoyed at my leg injury from soccer. Still feels like a shin splint not on my shin. I’m going to give it a few more days and start running again. I know my endurance has probably plummeted but I’m resting it now to prevent long-term damage. Right? Smart thinkin.
