My Labor day weekend

So originally i was supposed to be hiking 84 miles of the PCT this weekend but there are like 8 wildfires going on above and below me and i would have been hiking out there. I didn’t check to see if the wildfires were where i was going to be but with the smoke and storms and wind doing who knows what to the fires and the directions they were going i decided not to chance it. The trail will be there later.

I still enjoyed my 3 days off work and did close to nothing and loved it!!!!

Then Friday night my boyfriend and i headed to the coast for a long weekend. It was wonderful!

That was the view from our room, ot was so beautiful!
I ate my weight in clam chowder and of course hit a candy shop and got some salt water taffy.

image

We watched the wild life.
We climbed some rocks and saw whales and a leopard sea lion, which was super cool.

image

I had a smile plastered to my face most of the weekend.

image

I stood by and watched while he climbed some rocks i didnt want to climb lol.

He goes to the coast a lot so he knew some cool places to explore that i never would have found.

Overall it was a great weekend!

Though i ate way too much and didnt really exercise at all and i felt it in how bloated i was. Time for healthy food and a system clean out. And lots and lots and lots of water.

What did you do over labor day weekend?

Did you get in any workouts?

Pumpkin Spice Latte!!!!!

Yep that’s right, i’m a pumpkin spice latte freak!

Officially the pumpkin spice latte releases today.

image

I got a code in my email last Thursday so I’ve been drinking them all weekend, which im sure didn’t help my bloating but what can you do!? Lol

image

My Starbucks costs go up the moment the pumpkin spice latte comes out and after this comes the gingerbread latte then it levels back out after new years. 

image

I need to remember to try low fat milk now and then to lessen my calories.

Do you love pumpkin spice lattes??

What are you doing this week?

Mid week catchup

Woot woot I’m on vacation from work! It is wonderful and i so needed it.
Wednesday i did nothing but watch tv and go to my personal training appt. My trainer kicked my butt. We did full body strength training. I hated it but loved it.
Today I’m a little sore but surviving. I relaxed this morning then got my but up and went to my old running ground. Neither of my gps mile tracker apps wanted to work today so thankfully i was at park where i sort of knew the mileage. I did somewhere between 4.5-5.5 miles.

Post run selfie.
It varied from sprinkling to raining while i ran which was awesome!! My legs felt like lead from strength training last night but i fought through it. I drank grape zipfizz while running

image

Then got a post run Starbucks!!!

Tomorrow afternoon my boyfriend and i head for the coast for our first weekend getaway!!!!! I’m nervous and excited.

Talk to you later!!!

How was your workout today?

Happy Tuesday!!!!

Last night i had a personal training appointment and we worked on my freestyle swimming technique. I learned a lot but holey crap is swimming and all body workout. I was sooooo tired afterwards!

Still i got up this morning and was on a treadmill at the gym by 6:15am. But my legs hated me from the swimming and kicking so i only did a very slow 2 miles.
Had dinner with my girl Sarah. Gotta love a chill girls night. Then i came home was gonna call it a night early but my roomies rented pitch perfect 2, how could i say no?

Now i am crawling into bed but thankfully i took the rest of the week off for vacation so woot woot!!!

I get to sleep in!!!! I have a personal training appointment tomorrow at 7pm and we will work on strength…….thats probably going to hurt. I need to foam roll my legs tomorrow.

How was your day?

What do your workouts look like this week?

My weekend

Saturday i slept in then spent the day relaxing, i did some laundry and made a big vat of chickenless chicken noodle soup.

image

I LOVE this stuff. My mom has been making it my whole life so its totally comfort food.

Sunday i slept in again then my roommate and i hit the gym and i did 5 miles! My longest run so far, woot woot. Getting harder to do my long runs at the gym though, i get bored on the treadmill but its obviously easier to regulate my speed and time.

I wore my new fabletics workout outfit.

image

My roommates made me laugh. More bright colors!!!

Fabletics is actually pretty awesome. I have a few workout outfits from them and i am happy with all of them.

I popped my first blister

image

And used some of the second skin from my hike to keep it clean while it first starts to heal.

Watched some amazing race with my roommate while i foam rolled my legs and back, oooh what torture!!

Then i picked up some Thai food and watched ‘Alien’ for the first time ever.

And now it’s Monday morning again…….

Happy Friday!!!!

TGIF!!!!!
Thank goodness its Friday!

Saying tgif totally just brought me back to my middle school days when there was a TGIF of young adult shows that i so looked forward to, i think it had Boy meets World, Sabrina the teenage which and…….i have no clue what else but I loved those shows!

I haven’t worked out since Monday, i am bad. But i did break down and buy a good foam roller. It’s identical to the one my trainer tortured me with at the gym, except that its bright pink!!

image

I dont know what it is, i have never been a pink person and now im am loving neon pink and bright neon colors for all things workout related. 

The boyfriend is going to be out of town until sunday mid-day ish i think so i WILL go to the gym Saturday and Sunday to make up for my missed runs.

I’ll let you know how my runs go!

Do you remember the other TGIF shows?

What are your weekend plans?
