I'm joining up with Fitness Friday at Jill Conyers.com and am jumping on the "Friday 5" bandwagon. Her post was full of so many random fun things, I just couldn't help myself.
Thanks, Jill, for this awesomely random Friday idea!

5 Running-Related Things
- Training starts for the Bemidji Blue Ox Half Marathon next week!
- I'm setting race goals similar to my Fargo Half Marathon goals from this spring: A-Goal, B-Goal, and P-Goal (P = preggo). If we aren't expecting, I am shooting to break 1:30.
- Dailymile.com is my favorite online training resource! It tracks my weekly mileage and keeps runners (and walkers, cyclists, etc.) in touch with each other.
- Strength training workouts from CTolleRun.com are awesome. Carrie has awesome training tips and workout videos all online and free.
- Rollerblading with the jogging stroller has grown to be my favorite cardio crosstraining!
5 Picture Stories
Homemade Buns. Why is it that buns taste better than loaf bread? This was my first go at making homemade buns!
Summer Tan Lines. We have had a busy summer outside - lots of jogging stroller miles, trips down the slide, and time spent swinging. I love E's sandal tan :)
Potato Pancakes. So tasty, so easy. 3 cups mashed potatoes + 1 egg + 1/2 cup flour + handful of cheese >>> fry until browned and EAT!.
Throwback. We are enjoying the county fair with Grandma and Grandpa E. I had to place these photos side-by-side: My mom and me in 1988 and, 26 years later, E and me!
Horsing Around. I miss my horses! I had the chance to lunge my old show horse, "Lexi" last weekend. I'm so excited for E to ride horse for the first time :)

ReplyDeleteThank you, Samantha!
DeleteI'm loving the 5 things posts! And even more I love the CS Lewis quote. I have the worst runners tan ever. The tan lines on my legs are laughable :)
ReplyDeleteI agree, Jill - that C.S. Lewis is one of my favorites!
DeleteI love the saying "God is working for you even when you can't see it" because I am living proof it is SOOOO true!
ReplyDeleteAmen to that! I'm in the same boat :)
