Hey there! Happiest of Mondays to you. I started my morning with a 10k in the ‘hood. Hello absolutely gorgeous running weather. 69 degrees with a nice breeze and sunshine. We are still highs in the 90s today so I was happy to get up and get it done.

This is actually part 1 though of my runs today. I’ll let you know how it goes tonight. I plan on finding some nice shade.

So let’s do some weekend recapping…shall we? My Saturday started out with 15 miles…glorious miles indeed. I have not seen the number 8 in front of a long run (pace wise) in a minute. I am hoping all of this speedwork and hills that I’ve been doing is finally starting to pay off.

We had a good turnout too for the IRC Saturday run – part of which was in the rain. Way to get it done crew!

Saturday night I went out with my girl Natalie for some karaoke and grub. Good times with my homegirl and friends.

Sunday was kind of a bit of a sleep in day…but I managed to roll out of bed after a fun late night for 8 miles at 7:45 a.m. with my homegirl Tracy. We always have fun girl talk while running. That is absolutely the best.

Then I went to a comedy show later with my mama in Addison. Rickey Smiley absolutely has me rolling- he is just so funny. You must go see him live if you can. I also love his radio show which is based out of Atlanta.

And I’m ready to rock the work week after getting in a little over 56 miles of training last week. It was nice little cutback week and my body is feeling good and ready to build it up again.

Have a great week!

How was your weekend? Did you do anything fun with friends and/or fam?
