My younger sister came home from college on spring break this past week and we were able to get in a run together on Thursday!  It started raining and then soon after started “icing” lol… we kept saying “ow” and “ouch” the whole run as we got pelted in the face lol… it was fun!

Saturday was NOT Sunny

Saturday morning my friend Jess and I met to go running at 8:30am.  It was drizzling a little bit so we decided we’d still go… we started out and I asked her “hills, or more hills?” lol… we are hardcore so we went for more hills ;)  While we were running, the rain picked up and it was a little chilly… we ended up running 6.45 miles in the rain and wind before we decided enough was enough and called her boyfriend to come pick us up and drives us the last 2 miles home!  I thought running in the rain was a bit refreshing… I had only run in the rain once before… Yeah, If it’s cold or rainy/snowy out, I use the dreadmill ;) 

Before we left my house, I looked like this:

After we got back, I looked like this:

My Motivation is Back Baby!

At least for now ;)

I’m gonna do this “Three Thing Thursday” Style:

1.  I started March out Tuesday with a great workout!!  I ran 2.7 miles outside with an average 9:16 pace… mostly in the dark, but it felt great!!  Then I did a weight circuit for my arms and shoulders… let me tell you what… I have badly neglected my triceps!  They are still so sore today!!  Ouchy!!  That’s what bein a bum gets ya…

After I worked out I helped my fiancé with a school assignment.  He has to make an educational video about statistics for the middle school age group.  He’s having fun with it, it’s gonna be a good video when he’s done! :)  I wore one of his props cuz I’m cool like that.

2.  Then Today, after I got off work, I came home and ran on the treadmill for 4.02 miles in 37:49… I went from being at a speed of 6 to 8 throughout the course of the run… negative splits for me!! woohoo! 

 

3.  After my run, and stretching, my left hamstring was really hurting me, so I got out my trusty friend, Mr. Foam Roller.   Can I just say I LOVE my foam roller?!  He’s my best friend… See… we’re tight!  He’s the best man in my wedding… ok, I don’t think my fiancé would be happy if Mr. Foam Roller rolled down the aisle during the ceremony… Sorry foamy… you’re stayin home!  Do you use a foam roller?  Do you love it so much you want to hug it? “I do!” ;)
