5.4 miles easy
My legs were a little tired this morning so I used my Garmin to get to the 2.7 mile turnaround and then turned it off. I need to go slow on easy days!

1. Check out these pictures from my 5K on Monday.

29739244-Lansdowne_5K_Race_062 — Finish line. Looks like I ate something bitter or just did a shot. See #121? She's the woman I sprinted past at the end.

29739243-Lansdowne_5K_Race_448 — Getting my medal. I was trying to act nonchalant (like this happens all the time) but I was really, really happy!

2. Matt and I have date day/night – part II this weekend. Again, it’s going to be a Hawk-friendly weekend. Dogs parks, staying in a dog-friendly hotel (in Philly), and eating at dog-friendly restaurants. This is completely normal, right?

3. Head over to Kara and Alyssa’s blogs and wish them luck on their 50K tomorrow (that’s 31 miles)! Good luck ladies!

I may do an easy run this afternoon since the weather is so nice and I’m really antsy to run again.

But for now, it’s Friday Favorites time!

Gossip Girl
I’m a little embarrassed to admit this one…yes, I love the show Gossip Girl. It’s the ultimate guilty pleasure. At least I have company. My friend Michelle loves it just as much as I do. We love Chuck Bass. He’s got the best one-liners. In fact, for my birthday a few years ago, I got this from Michelle…

chuck bass — Poor quality picture but it says "good Bass is hard to find". I love it.

Date Night
For Christmas this past year, Matt and I decided to plan “date nights” for each other instead of buying gifts. My date night for him is tomorrow. We plan on hanging with Hawk at a park, having lunch outside, and going to see The Airborne Toxic Event at the Trocadero on Saturday night. Fun, fun, fun!

May Fun Runs
Since I don’t start officially training again until the end of May, I got nothing but fun runs scheduled until then. All I have to do is maintain my base by running whatever distance I want at whatever pace I want. So liberating. I may even go sans Garmin!

This is a picture of a meerkat I took at the Taronga Zoo in Sydney. It makes me laugh every time I see it. Not sure what it has to do with fun runs though.

Hope everyone has a great weekend! Happy Mother’s Day!
