She is Soaked (Caturday post)

Yes, she is still obsessed with water. This morning she was soaked! She was so wet, when she looked at the floor water was dripping off her head and she was trying to chase that too!

What's Up Wednesday

Well, we haven't been up to a whole lot. I spent the weekend at a friend's scrapbooking and watching Scandal.
I got these cute little pears from Ragan:



Of course Inspector AJ made sure they weren't poisonous.


I ate some healthy food:


I've been enjoying watching the sunset when I drive home (I try not to text and drive so no photo there).

Happy Wednesday!

Fitness Friday Feb 19

Another week in the books.  It was a super long week for me.  I'm glad it's the weekend now!

Recap: last Friday! I rested by running one mile on the treadmill.
Saturday: 3 miles around Bradley Fair.  It was super chilly!




Sunday: I had an 8 mile run on the books and it was fantastic!! I ran and fueled well.  The day was beautiful!

Tuesday: brisk but we still went outside.  I am so over running laps on a track.

My knee feels fine today.  I'm sure it was just tired like the rest of me :).

Fitness Friday! Week 5

What a week.  It seems like it flew by and then took forever!!! But it's finally Friday.  For the first time ever, I forgot my phone on Tuesday.  I ran with the ladies and someone posted it, but I didn't get a snap shot.

Friday: mile, Shocker Fitness and extreme.

Saturday: a quick 2.5 miles in the dark since we all had something to do in the morning. 



Sunday: we went on a 6 mile run.  The wind was atrocious! North wind 15 mph.  So we parked one car at the end and drove to the start and ran South.  It was a great run!!!  We averaged 11:30 minute/mile.

Monday: mile, SF and Extreme.  It was a good hard workout
                                       

Tuesday: no photo :( but I ran about 4 miles!!
Wednesday: sleep in day.  One quick mile on the treadmill.

Thursday: it was too cold outside so we ran indoors at the Y.  Not my favorite workout, but it's done.


Have a great weekend!
