It feels so good to get back into the swing of things. It is so HOT outside, that I will be doing my runs on the treadmill, until September. I really like Lauren's post this week, as I feel very similar to her about my dedication to being consistent. I just need to do a better job at it. I know this won't happen overnight, although wouldn't that be nice?
This weekend, Katy hosts their monthly city wide garage sale/market. I've never been, but I might just go to check out the local produce. Farmer's Market's are the best!
Weigh-in: I'm down a total of 5 lbs, which means I lost 1lb last week. I'm not going to lie, I wish it were more, but I'm not going to beat myself up over it.
Exercise completed: I've been running every other day for an hour and on my cross training days, I've been walking or doing Yoga.
Splurge/Guilty Pleasure: Last weekend our friends invited all the families in our Adult Bible Fellowship(Sunday School) class over to their house for a pool party. We were in the pool the entire time swimming and worked up quite an appetite. Courtney is a manager at Chick Fil A and brought home some goodies for all of us to snack on. Since not as many people showed up that RSVP'd, there was a lot of food. I made sure to have a couple of nuggets, and try their new chocolate chunk cookies. She even let me take home a gallon of the unsweetened iced tea, my favorite!
Success story: I used to run back in the day and listen to music, but I've been getting in the habit of watching netflix on my phone, when I run on the treadmill. This is a bad habit to form, especially since I won't be able to watch anything as I run the half marathon in October. So I've been listening to music this week and I've enjoyed it.
Recipes/photos: No recipes, but if you run, try drinking a glass of chocolate milk within 30 minutes after your run. It really does help as a recovery drink. I've read all about it in my Runner's World Magazine and on some running blogs. The picture below is what I look at when I'm running on my treadmill. I need some motivation as I run sometimes, especially when I need the extra push to keep going.

I need to try this Chik-fil-a place out. We don't have them anywhere in Washington but everyone talks about them in Texas:).
Dave got me a treadmill last winter for my birthday so I could run inside in the early mornings before work rather than in the dark. I ALWAYS watch Netflix on my phone when on the treadmill and it makes the time pass so much quicker. I love it! When I run outside I never listen to anything but I have found I really enjoy the peace and quiet (and its serves for good prayer time too). So don't be too worried about watching it, when you race there will be people all around you and much of that will be a distraction anyway. Take care!
Good to know! Thanks, I never really thought about the race day like that.
Is there a like button on here somewhere?! ;) I'm so excited for you!
All the exercise you are doing is AMAZING! You are my hero!
Wow, all your exercise is putting me to shame. But you are motivating me! Keep up all the good work :)
