athlinks

This morning, Jeff aka Detroit Runner wrote about a site called Athlinks. It is basically a site that complies your race history! They found all of mine! Check it out:

Click the picture to enlarge. Its fun to see my 5k go from almost 38 minutes to just over 31, see my 10k go from 1:21 to 1:10 basically, and my half go from 2:26 to 2:42 haha to 2:19!

I love seeing this, and cannot wait to add to this list. I am running a 10k coming up on the 30th and I realllllllly want to PR. And I am pretty sure I can. The # that I really want, that I am not sure I can get (but think I could possibly get) is 1:05...Looking back at my dailyrun history, I have seen a few 6 mile runs, ranging from 1:04 to 1:09. Soooo we shall see.

Alrighty I am off to bed. I have 9 miles to run between Saturday and Sunday to meet my weekly goal of 20 miles. Maybe I'll do 6 tomorrow, and 3 Sunday. :-D Also, the Runners World Run Streak is alive and well here. I have run the last 7 days, 5 of those are part of the official streak. 

Things I am loving...

Happy Wednesday guys!
I honestly dont have a ton to say but I felt the need to post something. So I shall post about things I am loving right now.

1. RUNNING! I am 5 days into my running streak (although the official RW streak count is 3 days) and is it crazy but I think this the first time since I started running that I have run 5 days in a row. But my legs feel good, and I am loving each mile!

2. The album "Some Nights" by Fun. Sooo awhile ago there was a band named The Format. I loved this band. So much. Their album "Interventions and Lullabies" was constantly playing in my car/on my ipod for all of college and senior year of high school. Well, I am slow, and realized only yesterday that the lead singer of The Format is the lead singer of Fun. Shane downloaded the Fun. album this weekend, and I have been obsessed with it ever since. I will say, its no Format, but it is good and awesome in a completely different way.

The Format vs. Fun

 

3. Michigan Deer Trax Ice Cream. YUP. It is amazing. It is 4 weight watchers points plus for a 1/2 cup, and it is so worth it.

4. Last but not least, I recently re-read the books "The Tea Rose" and "The Winter Rose", and I am just starting the third book "The Wild Rose". These books are hard to put down once they get rolling.

Alrighty folks, that is all for now! Have a good rest of your week!


Tell me something that you are loving lately :)

Happy Memorial Day everyone! I cant help but think about my cousin today. Its been over four years since he left us. I dont let myself regret much, but I will forever regret not knowing Charlie better. On my dad's side of the family I had two cousins, and they lived in Texas. With that distance, I really didn't get to know them well, and I hate that. Charlie is gone now, and I think about him daily.

Its been a relaxing weekend so far, and today will be the same way. Went for a one miler this morning to start off the Runners World Run streak nice and steady. My legs were definitely feeling a bit tired this AM. 

Yesterday we relaxed at Shane's parents house, and in the evening we brought over Hercules. He enjoyed himself immensely! I'll leave ya with these videos of him :)
