It's been a while since I've updated you on goings on around here so I thought I'd recap what I've been up to over the past couple months.
I've been doing some speed work via Trainer Road's power output programs. I've really been enjoying it. It's definitely working my legs harder than I'm used to so I'm hoping it will produce some results. I've also been enjoying half a pop tart as my pre workout bite in the mornings. It's been a delicious treat!

And, due to a harder cycling and working back up to my running efforts pre 70.3 I've been wearing my compression sleeves a lot more lately. I'm starting to like them a lot. (I didn't use them much during 70.3 training). I've also continued to brew and enjoy my own kombucha! (don't mind the store bought bottle, just reusing it with my home brew)
Also, going into the category of enjoyment, I've found an awesome combo for my protein shakes that includes espresso shots! Check out the recipe on my recipes page!
With my new TrainerRoad workouts, Matthew and I's training schedule is matching up more, so I've been enjoying trainer time together.
I turned 30 and got to celebrate with some great friends and lots of family!
I've been working back up to 2+ hour runs and have been contemplating doing a full marathon in December. Here are I am on a run on Memorial Day. I love how our neighborhood decorates for our holidays.
It's been so rainy here! But it does lend itself to some nice (gloomy) views on my runs.
So, I didn't swim for a couple of weeks after 70.3 and I was shocked by how much my arms lost strength! So I've been regularly getting out to the pool at least one day a week :)
