Last tidbits

Yesterday before the reality of our mini vacation ending, Bill and I ventured on an easy 4 miler.

He was sporting his new Lululemon shorts and tank.

I think he finally gets my addiction to Lulu!

And I was sporting my favorite running skirt.

A little while back Sarah from Skinny Runner wrote a post about running skirts and how she sometimes prefers tennis skirts to run in.  I think I agree.  To me the Lulu skirts are too heavy and this is just perfect.

It also helps that my mom in law designed it and that it has swarovski crystals on it for a bit of bling :)

Once our four miler was up.  We got ready and made the trek home.

Hate when vacations end :(

This week my goal for running is to take it easy and run what feels right to me.  Lately, I have been putting way too much pressure on myself to continue to hit 30 -35 mile running weeks and I have kind of noticed I am loosing some of the joy for running.

I realize you can’t compare yourself to others when it comes to running.  You need to find what works for you and listen to your body.  I have a feeling if I kept up the miles just because-I would be playing with injury again.

Have you experienced this?

Hope you have a great Monday.  I am off to tackle large laundry piles!

The desert

Well it is another beautiful day in the desert.

Bill and I love visiting his parents here because every single day is just picture perfect.

And running!

 

It’s been a great weekend so far.
