Spring weather was here all week…and it was amazing. My love for running came back stronger, I felt happier, and I had a greater desire to eat healthier foods.
{#1-BBQ BKT Pizza}
I made this pizza Sunday night and it was amazing AND easy, too. Make your own dough. While it is rising cut your tomatoes and kale, cook the bacon, and get your BBQ sauce and cheese ready. Roll out the dough, put BBQ on top, then kale, tomatoes, and bacon, before finally adding cheese to your liking. So yummy and kale is way healthier than lettuce.
{#2-PR in 10k, but does it count?}
I’ve never tried to run a PR in a 5k or 10k race. I’ve only trained for a PR in a half marathon once. Having only ran two 10k races I got to thinking, do PR’s on training runs count. Wednesday I ran a little over seven miles, and my 10k time was the fastest 10k I’ve ran (and that my watched noticed). I may have ran this fast or faster before and not thought about it or noticed it. My new Garmin let me know it was my fastest 10k afterall. The time wasn’t part of a race though so does it count? What are your thoughts?
{#3-Trail Runs}
Here is a glimpse at this week’s Wisconsin Marathon Training post. It involved some great trail running!
{#4-Running Tattoo}
Many people who know me or have read about my 30 things during 30 know I have wanted a running related tattoo for a long time. I want it to be beautiful, timeless, and represent what I love. I want it to happen sooner rather than later, but I’m feeling kind of stuck. Above are some locations and designs I like, but I feel like I can’t decide/commit to one. Have any of you seen a cool running tattoo you’d recommend. Anyone have a tattoo you love, hate, or regret?
{#5-Running Magazines}
I love reading running magazines for the motivational stories, gear suggestions, and beautiful places to run. I feel like I learn something new about running each month I read an issue. I now subscribe to Runner’s World (for all types of runners-still my favorite), Women’s Running (light reading geared at women), Running Times (in depth for the serious runner), and Trail Runner (for the trail runner or ultra runner). Each offers a slightly different take on running and brings different perspectives and focus to the same sport. Anyone have a different running/fitness magazine they suggest?
Happy Weekend! Mine will involve lots of s(miles)!
