I didnt plan on running today. I knew with all the things I needed to get done it probably wouldnt happen. I got up and got the house cleaned and dropped my daughter at gymnastics. I was about to hit up the grocery store when I realized I only needed 2 things and why not use the 40 mins I have while she is at her class to run instead.
So I whipped home, got my gear on and headed out. I had almost exactly 40 mins till I needed to go back and get her so I made a challenge with myself to see if I could get 5 miles done in 40 mins, especially since it was already 24 degrees out. I didnt even have time to plan a route I just headed out in one direction from my house and ran wherever I felt like!
I got my 5 miles in and felt proud of myself. An extra 544 calories burned is great, especially on a family BBQ day! Awesome what you can get done in 40 mins!
It was super hot and I was running on the open road most of the time so I was dripping by the time I got back. I like this pic because of the shoulder definition :)
Then we spent the afternoon at my parents for a pool day/BBQ. I had some yummy food. I left satisfied but not stuffed and enjoyed my evening. All around good day! Also as a bonus my parents agreed to keep the kids overnight so I'm going to get out for a long trail run tomorrow morning...woohoo!!
