Friday #Runch = Gone For A Run #FasterThanBoo10k!

Why not earn a medal during a nice lunch run?

Virtual race FTW! ;)

On Friday I opted to work from home, which allowed me to knock out my run during the day outside instead of early morning inside on the treadmill. #WIN

Since I have one hour for lunch, I knew I would be cutting it close to attempt my Gone For A Run Faster Than Boo 10k. But I was up for the challenge.

Enter virtual races. I love using a virtual race to jazz up an otherwise hum drum training run.

So I used yesterday's 7-miler (which I wasn't really looking forward to) to complete the Gone For A Run Sole Sister 7-miler

Just The Weekend I Needed...

Just The Weekend I Needed...

Everybody's working for the weekend! 

When I woke up Friday I was in a bad mental place. I opted to take a No-Weigh In for my weekly weigh-in and shifted my focus to recharging over the weekend.
