Saturday:
I headed out to pace my Fleet Feet CMM training group for 18 miles. Everyone had a strong run and it was even warm enough to wear shorts!!!
For breakfast after our run, I had a big bowl of steel cut oats, nuts, seeds, and strawberries.
It was a rainy day and I wanted to walk a bit, so Jason and I went to the mall. I don’t usually shop at Bath and Body Works, but they had an entire beach scented display that was calling my name.
They are marketing geniuses! I wanted 2 lotions, but left with 5 lotions and 2 candles! The cold dreary weather obviously has me craving a beach vacation.
Sunday:
Early morning gym and run with Jason…in shorts and a tank!!!!
The weather was so lovely that we just had to have dinner on a patio!
Sunday Funday for the win!
Just because this makes me happy:)

B&BW is the worst for me! I seriously can’t go in there if I’m not willing to drop $50. I may have to drop in with their new beach scents…those and the fall scents get me!
This weekend’s runs were great! I felt amazing and had a great pace on a hilly run. I also ran with my fiance, who’s doing couch to 5k. This weekend’s run was 20 minutes straight..his longest run yet. He killed it and wasn’t tired out at all!
P.S. those bracelets are beautiful..hope I win 🙂

I need to get into Bath and Body works. I have scented oils but they’re wintery smelling and I need something springy. I’m not on IG but those bracelets are cute!

I used to be into Bath and Body Works, but a couple of years ago it seemed like all of their products were overly smelly. Like, too much! But maybe I should give them another try. Perhaps they’ve toned it down a notch.

They definitely haven’t toned it down! That store was so strong, but I just couldn’t resist beachy scents!

YAY for shorts! Wasn’t it amazing out there? Good grief! I was so delighted to ONLY have to put on shorts and a tank top; it makes getting dressed so much easier and faster – ha! 😉 Thanks so much for the giveaway; these are amazing! I’m headed to Instagram right now! I’m so glad you were able to spend some time outside and enjoy the weather; hope you have a great day!

I got a MantraBand from my studio owner when I graduated teaching training that says, “Be Brave.” I really love it! My peak this weekend was my long run with my husband, but my pit was not hydrating enough afterward. I’m going to have to get used to the warmer weather as it creeps up!

That’s a great reminder to hydrate more as it warms up. It always sneaks up on me!

I don’t usually shop at Bath and Body Works, but when I do, I get sucked in and end up with WAY more than I intended!

I always go in to BBW with a coupon and I’ll just buy “a few things”…. Then I walk out stocked up for the year!!! It’s cheaper than shoes at least 😉

I just started getting back on track since the marathon so my weekend just included an 8.76 miles on Saturday and then 3 miles on Sunday! I’m hoping to start building again soon as well as work on my SPEED!
