Back to the grind! + Something NEW!

Now that vacation is over (super big BOO) I'm back to the grind and back to normal with training and life in general! I finally 'nested' and made our white walls decorated with stuff n' things so that I didn't feel like a transient.  Man, what a difference that makes!

Sunday's workout: 4.25 mi run (with welcomed rain for the last mile) This weekend's total is 14.25 hilly miles. Yay.

Monday's workout: 35 min Fat Burning Pilates (Thanks Brighthouse's Fitness On-Demand channel!) + WOD Circuit on lunch break today.

FYI: One thing I can do without though: HUMIDITY. Ugh.

We had a great homecoming weekend that included fun with my friend's baby turning 1! The theme of the party was super cute: "The Hungry Caterpillar." In lieu of toys we all brought our favorite childhood book; I got 'Green Eggs and Ham' for M on DVD - awesomesauce, I know.

Old roomies all grown up now ;)

Cake. Not carb-free.

This guy loves balloons and bouncey jump tents.

The whole gang. From clubs to playrooms, we've evolved.

What's your favorite childhood book?

Dinner with the girls was next - more dim sum? Ok ok! I was surprised my girlfriend S gave me a card that had a lovely request on it:

Cutest surprise card, ever! & I will!

Her wedding will be next October and I couldn't be happier for her! Bring on the Bachelorette party! ;)

Alright, y'all: Are you rrrrrrrrready for something new, particularly for MONDAY MOTIVATION?
A fellow blogger friend, Mindy, features a weekly blogger/runner/fit chick on her blog and I thought {self} "What a fantabulous idea!" So, keeping in the spirit of new things, she's first!

What is your favorite way to workout/exercise: My favorite way to workout and exercise is running! I love running long distances. Although I've done a full marathon...the half marathon is my favorite distance because the training isn't as rigorous or time consuming.
What is your #1 cheat food: Pizza! And when I'm marathon training I eat it to carb up!
What advise do you have for those starting on a fitness journey: Take it slow. Don't compare yourself to others. Listen to your body.
Dream destination race/location: I would love to do a race in Ireland one day! It looks gorgeous there!!!
Favorite inspirational fitness personality/trainer: I love Bob Harper!!! And I love watching The Biggest Loser!!!
Workout apparel must have (+brand): I MUST have my running skirts from runningskirts.com!
