Random Friday Thoughts

June 3, 2011 by Kristy 8 Comments

6/3/11

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.

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.
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!

Friday Favorites

May 6, 2011 by Kristy 10 Comments

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…

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!

Hawk is thrilled to be included in date night

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!
