"Five" Friday Favorites!

I'm celebrating today! I've been worried about a potential issue over the past few days, but I got the "everything is fine" notification today...

So I'm in full celebration mode!!! 

It's the perfect way to end the week and start my weekend so I did a couple of things to help me celebrate:

#1 I got new swimming goggles! My old goggles are somewhere at the bottom of the ocean or wherever they drifted off to after they left my head during Swim Miami last weekend. I don't miss them. Today I invested in what I hope will be a great pair that will last me a long time...

When I was walking into Dicks Sporting Goods to buy the goggles I saw this...

I love this! Who will you be?

Five Friday Favorites...

I'm so glad it's Friday!!!! There are so many things to be excited about this weekend, but mainly I'm looking forward to two (relatively) stress free days :). And the weekend is starting off great for me with a few favorite things to share...

1. My first favorite friday moment was my run this morning. It was the type of run that I needed to have. It was a short 2 mile run, but at a pace that, while I wasn't 100% happy with, I was grateful for...

My legs/muscles were still tired from the strength training I did yesterday, and until my legs get stronger this type of muscle fatigue is something I will need to get accustomed to running with. Articles that I have read in the past mentioned that running after weight training stimulates how your legs will feel in the latter part of your marathon. Hopefully as my legs get stronger the feelings of fatigue will diminish.
