Good morning!  It’s Friday! Woo.  This week felt like it went by fairly quickly for me, because of my day off yesterday.  Instead of running and lifting yesterday, I just sat at home… all day.  It wasn’t too bad.  I got some writing done, relaxed a bit and watched the series finale of Teen Mom onDemand.  Is it bad that I cried at the end?  Around dinner time, I met Bry and two of his friends at a local bar/restaurant with a nice outdoor patio seating area and bar.  I ordered a pumpkin beer ($3!) and a veggie burger.  A perfect night in my book! 

Thursday’s and Friday’s Recap – Days 4 & 5

Because of my relaxing day off yesterday, I didn’t get my run in.  However, this morning I did go to the gym to run the miles I missed yesterday.  I ran 3 sweaty miles on the treadmill in 29:09. The gym was again really hot.  I think that when I go early in the morning when they first open, the air conditioner isn’t on full blast.  Bummer, but still better than running outside in the muggy air this morning. 

Ok, let’s get to why you’re probably still reading… FRIDAY FAVORITES!

Teen Mom series finale.  I watched it onDemand and loved every second of it!

Talk to Me:

  • Who is your favorite Teen Mom?  I’m a huge fan of Maci.
  • What’s your favorite type of dog?  Obviously, mine are mini dachshunds.
  • What are your typical race goals?  Mine change depending on the race and the conditions of the day.  Usually, just to finish strong and push myself the whole time.

that blogger event sounds sooo cool! i am envious!!!

hope you are enjoying your weekend!

What a fun event! Looks like y’all had such a great time. Great job for getting in your missed miles today girl 🙂

My favorite is Caitlin, followed by Maci. Love our little Boxer/Lab.

The blogger event looks like fun! My goals are also to finish strong and not quit. 🙂

Yeah, when I think to myself that I want to quit, I just think about how terrible I’ll feel later.

I love Teen Mom, too! I’m said that this was the last season for this cast! I really like Maci as well. And of course, I’m rooting for Caitlin and Tyler. Is it weird that I’m 26 and “rooting” for two 19 year olds?! haha

Favorite dog = PUGS! They. are. the. best.

I’m so sad too. I really enjoyed their stories. I hope Maci and Bentley turn out okay 🙂

What a fun shopping event with friends! I hope you had a blast!

I love Goldendoodles..and just because I have one doesn’t make me biased 😉

The blogger preview event looks like tons of fun and what great gifts!

I’m partial to border-collie mixes (who also play the role of running buddy on occasion!) and when I run, I just want to have a strong & fun race!

My favourite dog breed is Corgie — I can’t wait to move out and get my own!!

As for race goals — to feel like I’ve left my all on the course. There’s nothing worse than crossing that finish line knowing you didn’t give it your all and nothing better than crossing the finish line knowing that’s the absolute best you could have done!!

Aw my boyfriend’s sister loves Corgies! They kind of remind me of dachshunds a little bit.
