Notes:
- For the past few weeks I’ve had at least one run where it rained hard the entire time! I don’t mind running in the rain, but I hope I am not ruining my shoes!
- On my Wednesday run, a safety pin (that I was using to hold my running belt in place) popped out, and when it did, it felt like someone tapped my hip with their hand. I stopped and chopped my arm back in defense. Then realized it was a safety pin. Ha.
- I’ve probably mentioned this before, but I typically swim on Fridays right after I teach strength class and my arms are sometimes already sore from class! Swimming probably helps a bit with recovery!
- It was so nice to run with Bobbi on Friday! She was asking me for recommendations for local hills for repeats and I happen to live very close to a five minute hill!
- I got a sun burn on Friday though (and actually again on Saturday). Eek. I put all my sunscreen out on the counter so I will remember to use it (I did on Sunday!).
- I brought treats to my fitness boxing class for Easter. My mom helped me put them together when I was visiting my home town earlier this month.
- After fitness boxing I had plans to run with Anne, and two more people from class joined us. Yay! We had fun, and that was my first double (run) of the year! And this is the first week this year I’ve run 40 miles! That was my go to weekly mileage for the last two years, but I cut back to 30 per week this year.

At least your first reaction was to defend yourself!
Right? Ha ha!
Great job this week! I don’t think you are ruining your shoes. At least they dry between each use, right?
Thanks! Yeah, I let them dry but it takes a loooooong time! Ha ha.
I love your automatic karate chop defense maneuver. NO ONE is going to sneak up on you and get away with it!
NO WAY NO HOW! Ha. All that fitness boxing teaching is paying off!!!!
Are you sure that wasn’t something (IT!) following you? Did anyone else see that invisible person? Hmmm…
I loved our (hot and short) run on Saturday! That was a fun group 🙂
OMG! I bet that’s what brushed by – someone else’s IT!!!!!!
Me too! I am looking forward to doing it again! 🙂
