Friday morning was spent doing a WTF Daily Burn video that stands for Workout to Failure. It could definitely also stand for the other WTF and no one on earth believes the name of that workout series is coincidental. It was three rounds of some length of time of some exercises I don't remember anymore, but I was short on time and it was a good workout.
Saturday morning, I found myself in Colorado (on purpose) with lovely morning weather and this sunrise:
Colorful, indeed.
While exploring the paved trails, I stumbled upon a little wilderness area that had unpaved trails!!!! It was super exciting, although any little hill climb just kicked my rear end to Sunday. Turns out, one does not adjust to altitude changes in 12 hours, LOL In any case, I was having such a good time that I was nearly skipping with delight and yelled out loud "This is so fun!" while going down a little hill. Then, I felt the intense need to re-do that little bit and film it, which many of you saw on Instagram. It really was that much fun.
TRAILS!
In the end, I hit 3.24 miles in 42:20, because I don't pause my watch when I stop to admire the view and did a bit of walking because of the altitude. WHO CARES THOUGH? I trail ran in Colorado and it was so much fun.
Sunday I was scheduled for 6 but knew better than to try that distance at altitude, so just gave myself a rest day, did some mobilization when I got home from the airport and decided it would be okay.
Monday I was picking up Jeff the dog from his godparents (yes, I have legally designated people to take my dog in case something happens to me) about an hour after I was done with work, which left just the right amount of time to fit in a 3 mile run. I decided to run in my old stomping grounds and just enjoyed every bit of it. I purposefully planned the route so the longest hill in the history of time would be towards the end of the 3 miles, because hills are good for you. Ended up with exactly 3 miles in 33:41, 11:12 average. I'm liking these 3 milers. I'm really liking 5k training. It might become my jam, y'all.
WILFTB
I sort of dropped the ball on this one because I decided to have a heart shaped pizza and half a bottle of pinot noir and was a bit distracted by that amazing combination and forgot to take notes at first. But here's what I learned this week:
*Bimini is an island in the Bahamas. It's much nicer than St. Thomas in the fall.
*Yachting is a popular date. Jumping off of one is a popular date activity.
*To get my boyfriends attention, I should strip down to my bikini in front of him and his two other girlfriends and then pose as if to say "Tah-dahhhhh!"
*Get the inner thigh because you don't want that sunburnt.
*Sharks have 3 rows of teeth.
*If two of my boyfriends girlfriends get eaten by sharks, then I'm sure to get the group date rose.
*This season in particular makes me want to drink more champagne.
*I eat a lot of cheese when I'm nervous.
*If my boyfriend says I'm fun with have fun with, he's totally not into me.
*Time flies when you are having rum .... or in my experience a heart shaped pizza, Pinot noir and dark chocolate covered pecans
Ack! I almost forgot the tweet of the week:
