Anyways. I'm back. :)
Painting has been maddening, and is taking forever. Haha. Today we put down the flooring, and then I'm through with this blasted room! Well... you know... except for living in it. I'll be sure to take pictures of the finished product.
I was going to do Jillian's yoga video yesterday, but painting is an arm workout in itself, so I just counted that! Haha.
Tuesday was a pretty awesome day. Went to the beach with the fam, and just soaked up the sun to my heart's content. I went boogie boarding for the first time ever. It's the closest thing I've ever done that resembled surfing. (Insert ridiculous fear of sharks here...) It was alright. I'm just not a surfer. Or anything resembling it. Haha. I'll sit up on the beach and nap, or read, or listen to my devil rock music. I got some delicious boiled peanuts on the way home. Serious yum.
After the beach I raced over to meet my girlfriend Izzy, we went on an 11 mile bike ride. It was amazing! It's this neat paved path through the woods, and is gorgeous! You can bike, run, walk, rollerblade.... basically anything that doesn't have a motor is allowed! I'll definitely be doing my long runs there when I start for training for the half in September. Especially since every 1/2 mile is marked!
We're meeting up on Tuesday to go jogging, and I'm really looking forward to it. I think we're going to try to meet up once a week and do some sort of exercise, which is awesome. :-)
I also registered for another 5K, and am looking into a few more this summer. The one I registered for is the Bridge of Lions 5K in St. Augustine, and it's only a $20 fee! Woohoo. Plus, it's across the Bridge of Lions, which is a huge landmark in one of my favorite cities!! I'm really excited. Izzy might be doing it with me, and Ellie too. Which would be super awesome!
Another race I was looking is another beach race, but it's the weekend of my birthday (Labor Day), so I think that would be really cool!
Well I'm off to finish painting and put the floor on my bedroom! Have a great Friday everyone!!

Ooh, a beach race sounds cool! I would think it's hard, but really fun! It's good to hear from you.

ReplyDeleteGirl, I am jealous of your beach time! And no worries, the painting will get done eventually and you'll love the finished product! :)

ReplyDeletei want a bike with a basket!
11 mile bike ride!? That is crazy far good job! :)
ReplyDeletecute pics! I'm dying to get to the beach at some point this summer.Surgery is definitely getting in my way lol
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great bike/running path! Having shade definitely comes in handy during long runs. I can't even imagine running in Florida - the heat would kill me!
