Treadmill Thursday

Once again the Treadmill Thursday has come around. I am beginning to dread it less. The only thing about yesterday is that I forgot my break-down sheet so I quickly had to come up with another one. Thanks to the dear internet, there is never a shortage of them. I have been trying to pick ones that involve an incline to get even more benefit out of it. This one was pretty tough at times and not tough enough at others.. aka the 5.0 mph. Either way, it was a decent workout as I was sweating buckets at the end.


It was also kind of weird for me that there was no set pace for Part c- but I did a 5.0 jog and a 6.0 sprint pace. I really could have gone a little harder on that, but I didn't really want to hurt myself, haha. Next time I will push harder, I swear. My calves were so tight from my bitter cold run Wednesday that I didn't want to push it too far.


My lovely instragram mix to show the day's accomplishments. I did 1 minute side planks on each side, 2 minute regular plank on both arms, 100 russain twists with 5lb weight, and 50 squats and 20 mountain climbers. Not too shabby for a cold Thursday evening indoor workout. For dinner I went back to this paleo crockpot recipe I tried a while ago ( I will have to look up the site again so I can post it ) where it is just pork tenderloin, apples, some cinnamon, honey.. yea I think thats about it. This one got a little weird because I didn't have any plan tenderloins, and this one had a bbq marinade on it already. But the taste was still good. I made some steamed potatose to go with it. Not too bad for a quick dinner with some leftovers.

Today is a rest day and I had a million things to do this morning- including fold and get everything ready for my LLS- team in training fundraising to make sure the letters get mailed out today or tomorrow. Also was organizing some things for my Mary Kay Party tonight for my neighbor. She wanted a glam party so lipsticks, eyeshadows etc galore tonight :)

Saturday will be our long run- which I am hoping and praying doesn't get rain/snowed/iced out. Darn you winter. I really enjoy and look forward to these runs with people from all different backgrounds both running and life. So inspiring and eye-opening that life is so short and precious...

Happy Friday!!

PRO Compression Giveaway!!!!

Image
A few weeks ago, I went out on a limb and contacted PRO Compression to see if they would send me a complimentary pair of socks could review and do a giveaway. I had never tried compression socks and was SUPER nervous about spending the money for them not knowing if I would even like them. I am here to tell you that they agreed, I ordered the socks and... . I LOVE THEM!!! As I told a coworker of mine, they are like a hug for your legs. This might sound ridiculous but I am so serious. I absolutely love these socks. I am not kidding. Not one single bit. I received them in the mail and I wanted to leave them on for the rest of my life. But I didn't. I did leave them on for the entire evening and actually fell asleep with them on. I also got the joy to wear them to recover from my very first half marathon as well and was so happy to have them. They really helped my recovery and just made my legs feel all strapped in and ready for action- well as ready as they can be after 13.1 mil

Into the woods

 Every week since I updated the look here, I keep telling myself I will write. Somehow life (or sleep) gets in the way and I never sit down to get started on anything.  Early last week, Bryan suggested that we take our long run to the Appalachian Trail and of course I agreed immediately. He knows how much I love running trails, especially the AT, and even more so, starting at Boiling Springs. I have a history with the AT, so running there always feels a little like home when we are able to run there.  Some areas had a little snow Friday and it was evident that the trail was sprinkled with a tiny amount- just enough to feel slightly magical. It's been a super mild winter here in PA, so we get excited every time we see even a flurry of snow.  There was no shortage of fun little fan mushrooms so I could not resist the urge to stop for a few photo ops. It seemed like they were doing some cleanup after the frequent high winds we have had lately, so I did see some areas with cut-down tre
