Finding greatness

So, we're still in the middle of moving on up...to the east side..to a nicer townhome 2.5 miles from work [not a deluxe apartment in the sky...it's not time for that just yet.] I can't wait until this is all done-done so we can chillax in our new place! I'd been in our 'old' townhome before we were together so it's nice having our own new place together ... fresh start kind of?

I woke up bright and early this morning to run with the girls as usual hoping I'd have time for my usual post-run nappy poo. I thought I'd be taking it easy, too, since my hip's been a little peeved since I ran a lot between Sun-Tuesday but we ended up being at a pretty reasonable pace, yay us! (btw I'm hoping this Isaac guy doesn't rain on our moving or my running parade this weekend/next week.)

Thursday's workout: 4 mi run

(btw Wednesday's workout: circuit of 100 Russian twists, 30 plank shoulder taps, 100 stairs, 20 weighted ball wall throws, 20 lunges, 20 scissor abs...I and lost track...)

Around 9 I ventured out to the bank and Target (the black hole of shopping death) before meeting up with our property manager to get our wonderful new keys!

Attack of the killer boxes!

My poor car was smooshed with stuff

After 2 [hefty] trips I was able to bring over most of our clothes, bathroom stuff, and the kitchen stuff. Yay for baby steps! I'm totally letting the movers move everything in tubs/boxes and just doing this one-off stuff. OCD, that's me!

I am pretty stoked, too, that I won a @Niketraining challenge! Well, not sure if I won anything fancy like a new running outfit (hint, hint, Nike) but hey I kicked tweeples' butts and that's enough to be proud of right? The challenge was to beat Lebron with the lateral switch moves in this drill.





Pretty impressive how we all did!

I like how Nike tweets these challenges because they're only 30 seconds and fun to see how many more you can do than super-fly athletes!

 I planned to run tomorrow morning, so we'll see how that goes. I didn't think going up and down all those stairs today would wipe me out, but color me exhausted! I might just stick to tomorrow being a rest day with a bunch of moving in between. And squeeze in some fro yo right in the middle ;)

How have you found greatness this week?

  2. Hello Kat,
    Just a quick message to ask if you would be interested in a 'mutual' following on twitter. I am currently following you now and am awaiting for your follow-back. (#FYI I do RT's 'anytime' for all #Triathletes #Cyclists #UltraRunners & #Marathoners who follow me on Twitter and have something important they want mentioned...)

    All the very best to you and yours for the rest of 2012 and beyond Kat. Look forward to hearing from you...
