Wednesday:
I started the day with my favorite crepe at the Perch….
And set out for a run. I felt so good. The weather was perfect and my legs wanted to run. Unfortunately, I paid the price with a sore knee. 😦 I guess it was still too soon after the my races. I’m trying my best to rest, but it’s SO tough for me.
Orange Theory Fitness with Corrie that evening.
Thursday:
Every day should be Pay It Forward Day!
I was so happy to see my Brentwood Breakfast Club friends and we got to celebrate Russ’ birthday!
Getting grown-ups to wear silly party hats never gets old!
I was tagged by Jess at Flying Feet in Faith to list 5 Reasons Why I Run:
1. Friendships!! The picture above proves that!
2. Health
3. Travel. I love to explore new cities on foot.
4. Goals. I feel lost when I don’t have a goal race to train for. I think it’s important to push to be my best self.
5. Joy…duh! Running and the endorphins make me happy. 🙂
Dinner confessional: I cheated on Chipotle with Moe’s…which we have re-named Slows.
I was feeling crappy about myself. Low self-esteem days are the worst. This helped.
Friday:
My knee was still sore from my over-zealous run on Wednesday so I opted for the spin bike. It’s proof that I do take it easy sometimes.
It was 70 degrees and sunny in Nashville. The pockets on this skirt rock!
This How-Old.net thing was floating around social media. You upload your picture and it guesses your age….highly scietntific. P.S. I’m actually 34.
And…another month is in the books. April miles: 328 YTD: 1,228
How close was How-Old.net to your actual age?
What are your reasons for running?
Do you struggle with rest after races or do you embrace the recovery?
What are your weekend plans?
