Happy Friday Everyone!

Just a quick little update....

Took a day of "rest" yesterday from running, can't say that I enjoyed it, all I could think about was how I wanted to go out and run! But, it was crazy hot yesterday (hotter and more humid than the day before for my run), so I was very happy I had the night off. But today, I've not been feeling so hot, so I don't know that I will be able to handle a run, I'll go grocery shopping after work, and then we'll see how I feel, definately don't WANT to take the night off, but might NEED to. Usually exercise does make me feel better though.

No huge plans for the weekend, just grocery shopping tonight, maybe a run and the tigers game is on. Tomorrow I think I am going to golf with my brother in the morning, and then maybe just take it easy for the afternoon, maybe head down to the Ann Arbor Art Fair, and see what is going on down there if the weather holds up. Maybe a walk with the dog if I think he can tolerate the heat. Sunday, I have my long run planned....6 miler! Wowsers! It's scary because I've never ran that far, but exciting too, because I know I can do it! Then probably lunch or dinner with the parents and chores.

Oh, and weigh in on Sunday! I'm looking forward to it! It will be interesting to see what it holds after a month (yes I have peeked in that month, but only a time or two). Decided my next weigh in after this is going to be the same day as my First 5K....August 17th, so exciting day :)

Anyways, that's my weekend plans, what do you guys have planned?

I love art fairs. I used to always get my first sun burn of the season at the early June art fair here on Talbott Street.

no big plans here except maybe taking the kids to a new park for a picnic if we can handle the heat. Good luck with your 6 mile run! I was thinking of attempting a 5 mile walk to my parents house this weekend.....with my trusting cell phone along just in case ;)

What made you decide to only weigh once a month? I have considered that option too but it's a scarey leap!

Sometimes rest is hard but your next run should be even better for it. :)

Good Lord - all I have planned is coffee this morning!

Good luck with your 5K! My running partner and I are up to running 6 miles too! It feels so good when you know you can run more miles. My goal is to hopefully do a half marathon this fall and if things go well a marathon next summer. Good luck with everything!

Grocery shopping: I've found that I do a lot more quick stops at the store now than before starting to eat more wisely. Fruits and veggies need to be replenished much more often than chips and candy bars.
