Multi-tasking run

I was kind of on the fence about whether I would run tonight or do something else in doors (read: out of the humidity). But then I got out work late AND remembered I needed to make it to the bank. If I opted to work out in doors, it would be even later than I really wanted it to be when I was done with everything I needed to get done in addition to the errand of getting to the bank.

My solution??

Yep. RUN TO THE BANK. And that I did. It was hot, I had to stop more times than I like to because of crossing major intersections. But I did and kept a great pace @ 9:34 for about 3 miles. I don't know exactly how far I went because while crossing one of said busy intersections, I apparently double pressed my button to restart my watch after stopping for a light. Argh.

In addition to the run, I came home and did 20 pushups and a 2 minute plank. I am going to make sure I stay in the habit of doing planks as close to daily as possible- I remember how much they do for my core and my arms... LOVE IT!!

Finally, I keep forgetting to post the awesome pendant I won from Tanya over at Run Turtle Run forever ago. I kept thinking about it and then I'd forget to take a picture and then I'd forget about it completely for a while. Anyway I am super thrilled that I won this cute little way to express that I love running :)


Isn't it great? I love the colors and I laughed because it totally looks like I could have written this- Thanks again Tanya. I just need to put in on something. My thought is to add it to my rear view mirror (much to the dismay of my husband and dad) so I can look at it all the time!

Happy Tuesday everyone :)

    I love running multi tasking. This one day Eric wanted chineese food up the street and they don't deliver you can only pickup. I told him I'd pick it up at the end of my run and walk home.. it was perfect!

    I run down a trail near my house to meet friends for lunch sometimes. It is fun to be able to run places.

Into the woods

 Every week since I updated the look here, I keep telling myself I will write. Somehow life (or sleep) gets in the way and I never sit down to get started on anything.  Early last week, Bryan suggested that we take our long run to the Appalachian Trail and of course I agreed immediately. He knows how much I love running trails, especially the AT, and even more so, starting at Boiling Springs. I have a history with the AT, so running there always feels a little like home when we are able to run there.  Some areas had a little snow Friday and it was evident that the trail was sprinkled with a tiny amount- just enough to feel slightly magical. It's been a super mild winter here in PA, so we get excited every time we see even a flurry of snow.  There was no shortage of fun little fan mushrooms so I could not resist the urge to stop for a few photo ops. It seemed like they were doing some cleanup after the frequent high winds we have had lately, so I did see some areas wi...

2017- a killer year for running

Image
Can you believe that we made it through 2017 and here we are at the start of a new year full of new goals and possibilities? 2017 was a mixed bag for me. Running-wise it was fantastic, but other things not so much at all. Looking back at all of the things I have accomplished and all of the miles I have tackled make me feel nothing short of amazing. Incredible. Strong. BADASS. I wanted to do a quick run down of all the races I did this year. I didn't blog on all of them but I thought it would be fun. I ended up doing 18- YES EIGHTEEN races this year ranging from 1 mile to 100k (62+ miles) with a total of 1540 miles which is my highest mileage yet. So here goes, you ready?? 1.  Squirelly Tail Twail Wun  - 2/26/17, time 2:26:34. This was a super sweet, muddy race. The temperature was cold but not frigid and I had a course PR. I had so much fun and it was a great first race of the year for me. I plan to back in 2018 for year 4. 2.  Chambersburg half - 3/11/17, tim...
