Let's talk 10K, boob muscles and Pippa

Saturday's long run was postponed to today. (More about that later)
I ran a 10K (6.2 miles) on the treadmill after work today.
Slow.
Easy..
Steady.
Surely.
All 6.2 miles in 70 minutes 32 seconds.

I am proud.
I am happy.
I am stoked.
This run tells me I can do 10K despite the lackluster training runs.
This 10K is a little less than a half marathon.
That means I can do a half marathon in October.
Surely, I can. 
I know I can.

Random Weekend and Random Thoughts: 

This weekend was another one spent out cleaning up the yard.

 

  Me, in PJs, lopping the holly bush, which in reality, had turned into a small holly tree.

At the end of Sunday, we've got a trailer full of yard waste. 

Needless to say, my boob muscles are slightly sore today. 

 

According to my running journaling on blogger, last year's August 20ish is when mid 60s-degree weather graced us in the mornings.... I am looking forward to that.

Last random thought, I am so interested in Pippa Middleton right now. I am thinking, "How does this girl stay so fit and active?" and MOST importantly, "What does she eats to give her all the energy for her to be active and still have such a good body?"

There you go - weekend and Monday all wrapped up in one post. Resting tomorrow and will run again Wednesday! :) 

"Dang! You smell like Icy Hot!"

This weekend long run didn't happened. I did a lot of cross-training in the form of yard work.  

We went to our house in Ruston, Louisiana to do yard work and to check on the remodeling work.

I was responsible for raking up all the pine cones.

Gloves make me hot. Taking a little break. 

While hanging my gloves up, I spotted a nest in the tree.

You guys probably know that mosquitoes simply adore me. 

So, I dabbed Icy Hot all over my limbs, hoping the menthol smell will deter them from eating me up.

I walked past my boyfriend who was pulling weeds and he said, "Dang! You smell like Icy Hot!"

Here are some pictures of the interior of the house.

We have new walls, new paint, new floors.

It's crazy that August is already here.

I'm thinking I will do my long run today or tomorrow, and resume training. 

What fun things did you do this weekend?

What are your goals for the grand month of August?

Tell me! 

P.S.: And yes... I am just one follower shy of 100.
