Fitness Friday and A Favorite or Two



It’s Friday again! Yay!

This week has been a busy one and it seemed to fly by! I’m SO glad it’s the weekend once again! I’m really looking forward to this weekend for many reasons:

#1 – Mandisa, Brandon Heath, and Jamie Grace in concert!!! This past week, MANDISA tweeted me. I’m not lying, I almost died from excitement!! Eeek

#2 – Our nearby University (and my alma mater) is hosting a weekend softball tournament and the proceeds benefit local cancer patients! Softball…..cancer benefit…I’m so there! I’m really excited to watch the games!

#3 – My brother/sister in law are coming for a visit and we are going to have a crawfish boil and celebrate Kayla’s Birthday! Can’t wait!!

Now for the REAL reason of this post – Fitness Friday!

I didn’t have the greatest week workout wise. Here’s a breakdown of the week:

Saturday – 11 Mile Run (and Easter Egg Hunt)
Sunday – Rest Day
Monday – Sprint/Track Workout 3.25 miles
Tuesday – Walked the Dogs
Wednesday – Walked the Dogs
Thursday – 3 miles on the treadmill
Friday – Hoping to squeeze time to walk the dogs again...

After Monday’s track workout, I was incredibly sore for days. DAYS. Every time I stood up, sat down, and walked (so pretty much with any movement), my right hamstring screamed at me. Since that was my first sprint workout in at least a year, I guess I had a reason for the soreness!

I’m finally feeling mostly back to normal and was able to run 3 relatively painless miles on the treadmill on Thursday afternoon. Yay!

Saturday is another long run with the running group. Not sure yet how far we are running – 8 to 10 miles is my guess.

As far as Favorites, here’s a few things I’m currently loving:

Snowcones! I’ve had one this season so far and am looking forward to at least a few more before summer is over! :0) My favorite flavors are Banana (weird, I know) and Pink Bubble Gum!

Clinique Facial Wash! This one took me by surprise. I was searching for something to wash my face with and came upon a abag of Clinique samples I never used (you know, the ones that come with their bonus buy cosmetic bags). I tested out the face wash and it was meant to be! I love this stuff! :0)

Have you had a snowcone yet this season?
What’s your big weekend plans?

  1. I'm excited to go find some shoes! (That will have to be my poor substitute for snowcone until it gets a little warmer in KC!)

  5. I love that you are eating snow cones already! I know there are a couple places here that do them but don't know if they are open yet. We did stop by the seasonal ice cream place.

    I don't think we have much going on. God willing, I might have my first date night in 5 months but I'm holding out till it happens. I'm also running 10 on Sunday.

  8. Oh my gosh a snowcone sounds amazing, but I don't even know where I would go about finding one.
    I am running a race this weekend, but am in pain from an old injury so who knows.
