I don't know about you but I love new running clothes! I don't think just because you are sweating and working hard toward your goals you can't look cute. For me I always think looking cute gives my run a little extra pep. It might just be me. A friend at work once said to me. "You are that girl at the gym I hate. All tiny in a little matching workout outfit smiling through your workouts." I guess I am guilty as charged, but I love running so the smile just happens, and I like cute clothes, running or working. I am a girly girl, what can I say.
All that being said this has been a rough running week. Work has been crazy. I have been tired and for some reason, even though I run on virtually and empty stomach, just a little Crystal Light Energy drink before heading out, I have had stomach cramps and just felt off during my run. Doesn't help that it feels like you are running through a sauna. Maybe it is just getting to the end of RW's Summer Streak. Maybe work and tired legs have combined to make this a tough week. The important thing is I am still getting out there. At least today is Friday and we have the weekend. Next week I only have to work Monday and Tuesday. We get the 4th off and I took Wednesday and Friday. I need the break, plus quality time with hubby who is a teacher.
Also I am excited that Thursday is the Peachtree Road Race. The largest race in the US. It is an incredible experience and the first race we have had in over a month. I have been looking forward to that. Hope everyone has great plans for the weekend and had an easier week than me!
I really like some of Ellie's pieces. I'm curious to see how they do for you when you give them a test run.
ReplyDeleteWhen the streak is over, maybe you can give yourself a day or two of rest. It sounds like you deserve it!
I'm excited to hear about the race on Thursday. It sounds like it's going to be incredible.
