Fitness Friday–5/23

Happy Memorial Day weekend! :0)

Here’s my workouts from the past week:

Saturday – 8 mile run with Heather
Sunday – Rest Day
Monday –  Bridge Run & Boot Camp 
Tuesday – 3 mile run
Wednesday – Rest Day
Thursday – 6 mile run
Friday – Weekend Vacay

This past week’s workouts were great! If you missed my recap on the bridge run & boot camp, see the link above. It was tough but definitely an amazing workout!

I ran again on Tuesday. Although I wasn’t as sore as I expected to be after the bridge run, my legs still felt like lead the first mile. I wanted to quit after 2 miles, but pushed myself through to complete 3 miles.

I kept repeating positive, motivating things in my mind to keep my legs moving. It worked!

Thursday’s run was a bit different – I didn’t push myself hard because my goal was just to make it through the run. I woke up later than I wanted to and by the time I was halfway through my run, the morning was warming up and the sun was beating strong.

I was thankful for the cool breeze that blew through every once in a while – it helped keep me going!

This week, I also began participating in a Summer Run photo Scavenger Hunt! It’s being put on by the lovely ladies at Fairy Tales & Fitness.

The rules are simple – all you have to do is take pictures of things on the list while out for a run. Tweet a picture of your item (either as you find them or in a collage) to @fairytalesnfit and tag #SummerRunHunt! There’s a bunch of awesome prize packs included as well! Check it out here and join in the fun! 

I hope you have a lovely weekend!

What are your Memorial Day Weekend plans? Anything exciting happening?

Memorial Day Weekend Plans

It’s no secret, I’m a busy bee and I love to travel. Seeing new sights, new places and new experiences is exciting to me.

When we discovered that my husband’s time off work fit with a long holiday weekend, we immediately began planning a little getaway. Jason chose this destination, since he’s always following me around on runDisney races (and I gladly let him choose, since he follows me around without complaint)!

His best friend lives in Florida….so guess where we are going? Yep, Florida! Jason’s friend likes to joke with me that I think the state of Florida is encompassed inside Walt Disney World. I’ve never been to Universal and only visited Sea World/Busch Gardens in my childhood. Disney just makes it so EASY – they pick you up at the airport and a week in the World is like an all inclusive stay (if you purchase the dining plan). He can’t complain too much, him and his wife are big Disney fans, too.

Anyway, after discussing many different options, they narrowed down our weekend to an overnight stay at Disney’s Vero Beach Resort (we just can’t get away, can we?) and a day adventure in St. Augustine! We haven’t visited either location and are looking forward to a nice relaxing weekend.

I’ve also never spent time at a beach on the East Coast, so this will be a weekend of firsts for me!

On Saturday mornings, Shutters restaurant at Vero Beach offers a character breakfast (which we booked, of course….)!

I’ve done a bit of research on the city of St. Augustine and it sounds fascinating! I can’t wait to explore and see the sights!



It didn’t hit me until last night that this trip is here…like now!  We have someone watching our house for us, the dogs are being taken care of, and we are ready to go!

I’m excited to get away and spend the weekend with friends. Catching up on sleep and relaxing on the beach sounds incredible to me right about now!

Be sure to follow Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for updates on all the fun!!

Have you ever visited Vero Beach or St. Augustine? What should we see/do/eat? Would love to hear about your experience!
