What I’m
___________ this week:
Right Now I’m… |
|
|
Reading…
|
Legend,
The Uglies, Charlotte’s Web (still reading it with my little one)
|
|
Listening
to…
|
lots
of shake-your-groove-thang music! I’ve been in a DANCING mood lately, ever
since getting-my-dance-on this weekend. So I’ve been listening to get-up-and-dance
pop like Rihanna and Calvin Harris (on mu running playlist), SALSA (my favs
include Marc Anthony, Victor Manuelle, Joe Arroyo, and Grupo Niche), and
Samba!!
|
|
Watching…
|
The
OLYMPICS!!!!
…and
lots of movies with my daughter.
Right now we are watching “Marmaduke” and watched “Dispicable Me”
earlier.
|
|
Craving…
|
a
fat juicy dill pickle…so I added it onto the menu for Tuesday’s meal!
|
Loving…
|
all
the family time I’ve had this summer!
|
Wishing…
|
that
my last two weeks of summer vacation turn out to be as fantastic and the
other month and a half was!
|
One last little update:
Last night I did a Sunday
evening long run and ran 6.5 miles, the longest I’ve run in a looooong
time. I swear it was just a COINCIDENCE
but it just so happens that I ran 6.5 miles on Day #65 of my RUNstreak!! I promise I didn’t do that on purpose; even
I am not that nerdy! Although I must
admit, I wish I had thought about it ahead of time and had done it on
purpose! J
This evening my daughter
and our dog Bella came on my run with me.
I ran 2.5 miles while they did about 1.5. I dropped them off at the neighborhood playground and then ran
around it a couple of times to complete a mile. I didn’t feel guilty about running such a little amount; the
knees (especially the left one, which is the one that has two knee surgeries)
are still a little sore from my long run last night. I’m proud to announce:
RUNstreak: as
of tonight, 66 days
and counting…
I
just may complete my Summer RUNstreak after all!!
How do you track how far you ran?
ReplyDeleteI use a GPS app on my iPod or phone to track my distance. Honestly, though, I've been running in my neighborhood for so long that I pretty much have all my routes and their distances memorized so I could probably even go without it. LOL!! But I don't because I'm anal and have to see the numbers and stats. :-)
