Interview outfits from last week!

Last week was crazy busy, but I’d like to think that I made it look good despite my cold and hectic schedule!

NSV Pants

I was going to wear never before worn size 16 NY&Co pants this morning for one last hurrah, but sadly even before I ever got to wear them, they were falling off me.

So I grabbed size 14 DKNY pants I last wore my JUNIOR YEAR OF COLLEGE (2004). They fit magically and even have some room to spare!

Today’s Run

Got in 10 miles today in 80 degree weather. HELLO Alabama it’s almost NOVEMBER. Yeesh! However I am not looking forward to running in the frigid cold either. 

Knocked out a solid 10 miles today. My left foot is angry at me again, but I hope I can stretch the pain away. Perhaps even get a spa pedicure this week, but I don’t know if I’ll have time.

Cam Newton is my new strengthspo!

Seriously guys week after week I go to the Auburn games and I (along with everyone else in the stadium) are in awe of our quarterback Cam. 

He is the definition of an ATHLETE.

He is 6’6 and weighs 250 pounds, but don’t let his size deceive you this boy’s got SPEED. He is quick, agile and tough. 

My goal is to track him down on campus and get a picture with him. I did cross in front of him in a cross walk while he was on his infamous scooter last week, but I need a pic with our future Heisman Trophy Winner!

Freakin’ Cold

This cold that I have been fighting all week is really frustrating me. I ran through not feeling well Mon, Tues and Wed, but Thursday I felt horrid so I took Thurs and Friday off. Today I’m still not feeling well, but I want to make sure I hit triple digits for milage this month and my next half marathon is in 1 WEEK.

To run or not to run that is the question?

What I think I will do is walk/jog to the AUBURN football game this afternoon and walk/jog back. That should be about 6 miles roundtrip from my apartment to campus.

War CAM Eagle!

5K goals

I was thinking about my 5K that I ran last weekend and how far I’ve come. So similarly to 365to30 I’m gonna throw down the gauntlet and challenge myself to knock 10 minutes off my original 5K time when I run in the same 5K in May.

I ran my first 5K in 33:29 so I’m gunning for 23:29. I’ve already knocked 6 minutes off my time. So I have 6 months to knock off 4 minutes. Which means a 7:33 average pace per mile. SCARY!

A New Type of Runners High

My best friend called with such a great random little story that I wanted to share.

Her boyfriend (who I only met once this summer) was apparently facebook stalking my pictures today and commented on how great I looked and that he’s gonna take up running if running means I got my body to where it is from where it was. 

I thought it was such a cute comment and huge compliment!

I’m may jump on the the bandwagon of some horrid “candid before pics” and the progression of pictures.
