Oy vey! I tell ya, this has been quite the busy week. Between teaching spin classes almost every night (makin’ that side hustle money though…can I get a CHA-CHING), running in the mornings and working all day I have to tell ya I am so ready to let my hair down and have a little fun!
This probably best illustrates my excitement for a break this weekend.
On to my favorites this week!
–Top 10 Running Fashion Faux Pas. Made me laugh. I’m sure we are all guilty of these at any given moment. No shame.
–How to manage the highs and lows of training. If you are running a 26.2 this fall and have been braving those runs in the summer heat like your girl…READ THIS. Great words of wisdom and encouragement.
-Grooving to this song this week in the car. Gosh I love me some Pharrell. He can lift my spirits like none other.
-Still rocking this Essie mint shade. Turquoise and Caicos.
-Asics Light Show Running Tights. How fun are these? Gotta get my hands on them.
–Coffee pancakes? My two favorite things combined. Hello happiness.
-Hibiscus flowers. I have been seeing them everywhere lately for some reason. I am tempted to put one in my hair and pretend I’m in Hawaii.
-Michael Kors leopard wedges. OH YES.
–Skinny strawberry sangria. Lime La Croix, red wine, fresh strawberries. Done and done.
What are you up to this weekend? Are you looking forward to FALL as much as I am?
What are some highs and lows you’ve experienced with marathon training?

I LOVE fall….the colors, the temps, the clothes…sweaters, scarves and football 🙂 ahhhhhhhh- so excited!!!! haha
Me too!! I have this annual fall brunch at my place EVERY year and so I start to get really pumped when August rolls around so I can start planning!
I’m hoping for a longer run (well, for me that’s anywhere between 7-10 miles. LOL). And hopefully the zoo to see my family.. Oooh, Oooh, Ahhh, Ahhh.
Love Michael Kors.
Have a wonderful weekend!!!
Have a GREAT run and fun at the zoo!
I saw that article about running faux pax’s. So funny. Still don’t get those runners with toes. Have a wonderful weekend.
We distance runners have some nasty toes, girlfriend. I do, however like those toe SHOES! I need to try them out.
Have a great weekend!!
I love those Michael Kors shoes!!!!
Isn’t that guy awesome? I love everything he makes right now.
I love those running tights! When do they get released? I can’t find them on the website.
I found it from this link – it should be on the Asics site! Let me know if you find ’em cuz I want ’em too!!

Cute nail polish!
Thx love!
Such a pretty polish color!! Have a great weekend 🙂
We have a tons of hibiscus plants in our yard that are red and so so pretty! Love your nail color. Essie is da best!
The best Daft Punk tune – class choice 🙂
I’m matchy matchy especially for races.
Loving those asics light show tights! I’ve been wanting the pink light show shoes too.
Had dinner with a dear friend, beach workout on Sat. and gym on Sunday. I’m trying my best to make it to the 11am Spin Class. I haven’t taken a class in over 2 yrs. Yikes!!! Leopard skin wedges are hot like fire!!!!
Training for my first full marathon now and have to say, I’m absolutely loving the high of pushing my body to new limits and accomplishing more challenging goals (mileage, faster splits, new routes). It’s a true test of self for me: mentally, physically, and even spiritually, as I pray my way through! Low would definitely be the calf soreness and fear of pulling a muscle.
Fun blog. 🙂
That is wonderful Shawna!! Best of luck in your training!
I’m a little late on this one, but THIS weekend, I’m planning on some hikes! I can’t believe I’ve lived here over a year and am just now discovering some crazy awesome trails.
Oh I love hiking! So peaceful. Enjoy!!
