Day off? Not so much...


Workout: Trainer Workout
Days Til Dash: 28

While I *wanted* to take a day off and not work out today, the scale-- and my baby sister-- told me otherwise. The scale showed that somehow, I gained 2lbs overnight. I don't think I ate THAT poorly at Mongolian last night... and I ran! I ran A LOT yesterday! And (for good news), my sister is going to be induced tonight, meaning my first niece will be here sometime tomorrow! That alone was reason enough to get the workout in tomorrow- I want to spend as much time as possible with my sister, her husband, and the nugget :-)

The knee hurts, but nothing that an ice pack, some Advil, and a cute snuggly baby can't fix.

Endurance Building Success!

Friday: Trainer Routine
Saturday: 24 minute run- 2.01 miles at an average pace of 5.0
Days til Dash: 29

It's hot. I'm exhausted. But I was able to run for an extra 6 minutes before the vomit feeling took over AND make it to the 2 mile mark. WIN.

I'm going to soak in a bathtub of ice cubes now...the knee hurts and it's just too damn hot to do anything else.
