Training Days & Tan Lines

This is  the part where everyone says, "OMG it's Monday?! Where did the time go?! Where did July go?! But really, even though there are a few more days left of July, this disgusting armpit weather says August. Unless I get up at the ass-crack of dawn, my training days are rough. The humidity makes me feel like I'm running through a bowl of broccoli cheddar soup! And these sports bra tan lines? Sad face. #firstworldproblems.

I WAS proud of myself though since I still managed to drag my ass out of bed every morning to train. Beast mode. Oh and it also helped that my new workout wear delivered on Friday. The little things right? But seriously...after running 7 miles, you would have thought I jumped in the lake with how much of a sweaty mess I was. Killll  meeee.

I also decided to go with a new running app, Nike+ Running and I'm LOVING it. You can earn various badges for distance, beating PRs, goals, challenges etc. which motivates me even more. The best part about this app though is that you can set various programs to train for your race distance!

For my next race I've decided to go with the intermediate half marathon program since the 15k is on par with a half and I really want to beat my usual time with this one!

This training schedule will kill me if this flippin' heat doesn't let up soon!

Saturday my in-laws had a pool party for my SIL's birthday and my BIL's 8th grade graduation. Did I take any photos? Nope. Oops. The hot as Hades weather definitely called for a pool party and it didn't rain! Yay! The party was a hit and it's always fun to enjoy fam time over amazing food and wine water.

Yesterday I ventured out to Ulta and made out like a bandit with their deals. I got $130 worth of stuff for only $60. BOOM. I got my huge liter-sized Paul Mitchell's KerActive Blonde Forever Blonde shampoo and conditioner for only $15 each that's only available in store! These babies run for over $40 originally so I was beyond excited.

I also picked up this new nail color too and gave myself a pedi and I remembered why I pay someone else to do this shit for me. Zero patience. I've never tried this brand before though and it went on very easy!

So basically Sunday was spent with a lot of "me" time which was beyond therapeutic. Queue Pharrell's "Happy" song!

How do you unwind and spend your "me" days??
