Unfiltered beauty and family time...

The unfiltered beauty of this morning's sunrise was breathtaking...
I have a lot more pics but this isn't a photography blog so let's move on ;)

This was my second LR with my running group and I had a better time than last week. A lot of things contributed to that: (1) My dad came running with me; (2) the weather was absolutely perfect;  (2b) There was no rain; (3) I was more hydrated; (4) I felt stronger (resting yesterday was a good idea).

LR summary pics...

The highlight of my run today was running with my dad. I started out with my 3:1 interval running group and my dad stayed to enjoy the beach and morning sunrise a bit more. Then he caught up with my group and ran with us for a few miles. And then, once the coach said "you can run the last mile in a little faster if you want", my dad took off and I tried to keep up with him (he runs a lot faster than I do obviously)...so basically while my dad jogged in the last mile, I was "sprinting".

I didn't do my plank challenge before my run this morning, so I did it once I got home. The day 5 goal is a minimum of 50s. Typically I've been able to do longer but today I wasn't able to get very far past a minute...
(I didn't do the variety plank special today)
I have a feeling the 30 day plank challenge may prove to be harder than the 30 day wall sit challenge :(

My knee felt really good during the run as well as after, but I iced it anyway. Actually I iced both of them (you can never be too careful). 

I was able to capture a mother-daughter selfie with Kaiyu while I was resting...

Tomorrow is technically a rest day but I really need to work on my planks and other core stuff so I won't be able to rest completely. It's also the start of a very busy work week...

Hope your weekend was great!
