The Dreher Park Dash posted the official pictures! I went ahead and ordered a few but wanted to put them up on here too since I am impatient, haha.

Overall, it was a great race and a great event to do together with Bryan. I love that we can run together even though he is not as obsessed with it as me ;-)

Question:

What are some things you and your significant other enjoy doing together?

Bryan and I just started running together. We also are starting to attend more baseball games and concerts in the area this summer with friends.

Spice up Workouts

Lately I have been trying to spice things up in my daily exercise routine and it has been great. I have actually been looking forward to workouts. For the longest time I was stuck in a rut- running 40 min a day (5 miles) 4-5days a week. But lately I have been trying new routes. longer distances, different goal paces, new music, and even running at different times of day and love it!

Tuesday's Workout: Yesterday I did a morning run and an evening short jog. It was so nice to break up the mileage and do a little more than normal. AM RUN: 2 miles @ 8:13pace. 3 miles @7:30pace PM RUN: 2 miles @ 8:30pace daily total= 7miles. I felt great on the evening jog knowing I had already completed the bulk of training and it was a joy run to enjoy the scenary.

Wednesday's Workout: Today I slept in. I love getting much needed sleep and having time for reading and omlettes in the morning before going to work. Then tonight I did an hour run on the treadmill at the gym. I did mental increments of 6 minutes and time flew! I ended up running 7 miles with a brisk walk at the end.

Thursday's Workout: Tomorrow I hope to get in a Bikram yoga session after work and a short jog.

Breaking it up makes running so much more interesting. I am hoping to run 5k race this summer so I have something to train for again. Races are just the motivation I need.

Happy Wednesday!

Cinco De Mayo

Tonight was a fiesta at my friends' place. I love the excuse that Cinco De Mayo brings to eat tons of Mexican dips and "hint of lime" chips. The hosts of the party went all out and even had sombreros, mustaches, and maracas. Since I am a visual person, here are pictures of what we ate tonight:

Shrimp Tacos

Chili Con Queso

Guacamole

7-layor Bean dip

It was all so delicious! And the food looked exactly like the pics above (I was just too lazy to snap photos of everything before people started digging in).

Question: Do you like to celebrate Cinco De Mayo?

I do just for the excuse of having great food with friends. I don't really have any attachments to the war when Mexico defeated France.
