Sweeet2th's Journal, 25 August 2014

Brace yourselves, FS buddies! I've decided I'm going to be Richard Simmons for Halloween! One of my friends said I'm basically him already, minus the frizzy curly hair! Can I help it if I'm enthusiastic about exercise lately? I'm going to embrace my "Inner Simmons" and bedazzle the hell out of a red tank top!! I might also need a spray tan and some inappropriately short shorts!

On the half-marathon training/workout front, yesterday I ran 7 miles in 1:12:30, which is only 29 seconds more than it took me to run 6.2 miles last week!. It was my longest run to date, and it was a LOT easier than I thought it would be! Once I found my groove, I sailed through it! I did feel significantly hungrier than usual afterwards, but I just filled up on a mountain of yummy black beans and veggies!

Today, I have a lot of extra food prep to do for the week! The Sig-O took a long 4-day weekend, so I spent less time studying and making food and more time frolicking/running in the park and watching BoJack Horseman on Netflix with the Sig-O. But now, it's back to "business as usual", Folks!

Have a spectacular Monday, Everyone! Oh, and with August winding to an end, today's 4-minute dance party was appropriately Florence + The Machine "Dog Days Are Over". It was perfect! Give it a whirl:

Florence + The Machine - Dog Days Are Over

Ciao for now, Folks! :)
