Army 10 miler training kicked off today. T joined me and we explored a nearby trail. #hothotheat (at Reston, Virginia)
Thanks #sportsauthority close out sale for 50% off this suit! Hope to use it to finally triathlon train this fall/winter for a spring race since this summer has been too busy being chock full of changes!
After an 11 hour first day, I came home to my Gibbler Gallop swag #andreas40thbdayrun

Work Out, Balance Out
In times of transition or “chaos” I have always found comfort in working out these past 6 years that I’ve been living that fit life (haha).
Thursday is my last day of work here, new job starts Monday, thinking of moving jobs/offices, moving houses, and all the details and planning that come with.
I have been seeking out time to run/work out/even walk just to get away from planning/thinking/feeling like I’m wasting time.
When I’m working out that is all I can really do. I can think, sure, but if I don’t have a pen to write down a thought or make a list it’s kind of moot for me during stressful times. I commit fully to the workout and let my mind take a break (which sometimes it can’t even do when I’m supposed to be sleeping).
Last week I got Body Pump in and a few runs/walks.
Since Sunday I’ve gotten a run in, walked, went to yoga, Body Pump, and plan on going to 2 more Body Pump classes and getting a run and/or bike ride in when I’m “off” on Friday.
Wooosaaaa
Walk and Talk
I had a lovely catch up session with a campus friend yesterday. We talked and waked around campus (for 2.25+ miles).
Today I am catching up with a friend after work at a Bodypump class, then we are going to hit the treadmills to walk and talk!
I’m officially outdoorsy…and unfashionable (at REI)
Also I LOATHE the color purple, but these boots felt the best and happened to be the cheapest ta-boot. I figured I’d own the purple by getting matching hiking socks.
Registered today! This has been a bucket list race and I’ve never been on the ball to know when registration opened. Well FYI it opened today and I happened to look up when it opened last week!
October 9th if anyone is interested!

Weather finally cooperated enough for me to get my first bike ride of the year in! (at W&OD Trail Columbia Pike Entrance)
