Happy Summer!! Hope you had a nice little (Running) Tuesday.
I’ve been a busy bee and therefore did not have time to fit in my scheduled easy 2 mile run yesterday, per my SmartCoach training plan; but don’t you worry, I squeezed it in today.
I ran 2 miles @ 8:20 pace on our treadmill with a 0.5 incline after a 50-minute cycle class at the local gym. It felt good to move my body as yesterday was a zero exercise day when I realized I had exercised the past 15 consecutive days. Remember, rest days are important!

On a totally random note, I opened a package from my birthday twin, Miss Tina, today full of (unpictured) goodies and my mom just happened to give me a tee from Tina’s shop as a belated b.day gift – what a coincidence!
Then, when I was running errands I scored a cute pair of shorts for 8 bucks! I’ve been looking high and low for a new pair of shorts to survive Chico’s summer heat. I wasn’t intending to find shorts when I dropped off a bag of clothes at the consignment store, but it seems you always find something when you aren’t looking for it.
Speaking of short(s), I got a much-needed haircut today and boy, does it feel short!
Me failing to model my new (wrinkled) shorts & tee in my embarrassingly dirty mirror. I think I’ll stick to food photography.
A couple things:
- I created a new page for Half #5 if you’re interested in tracking my training.
- Also, you may have noticed the featured recipes in the left sidebar. I hope to be changing these up periodically, about every week or two.
Going to go clean my mirror ;)

You look great, Hill! Is your hair darker or is that the lighting? I LOVE IT!
Aww, thanks Allie :) I haven’t colored my hair (I actually never have), so I think it’s just the lighting/terrible self photos, hehe.
I would run for iced coffee! <3
LOVE the t-shirts! I have one that says: I run for chocolate! :)
