NO JOKE! ...ha! stairs are like hills on steroids! NO JOKE! what a week you had! good you pulled back a bit after the HIIT workout so you didn't jeopardise the long run. Seems like it all worked out too with the 14 miles feeling much better 2nd time around! well done! <br /><br />I'm a fan of ProCompression!! I have about ... 20 pairs :D oops! of course last week I wanted to wear my yellow with pink stripes and I COULDN'T FIND THEM ANYWHERE. Even though I just organised everything. Still haven't found the darn things. Anyway, hope you like them! You got a sweet pack of three! <br /><br />the humidity is killing here now. we went from unusually hot and dry to storms to hot and humid. I'm so sweaty after a run it looks like I showered with my clothes on. Volunteering? No. Not really lately. Unless you count me volunteering at work to be the (new) Run Club coordinator (with a race on 9/9 and my stress level already going through the roof trying to do everything while on vacation???). State fair - oh my gosh it has been decades!! But yes I have been to the NM State Fair when I was young and of course always to the Otero County Fair right around the time school started up. My next race is in 5 weeks and a few days... i've got my trainer working hard for me as he keeps changing up how to attack the marathon on the day... stay tuned...<br /><br />hey I love that necklace you have on for friday fashion flair - I never wear jewellery, which is a shame because I do have some nice pieces. Goal for next year maybe? get out of jeans and tee shirts and dress up just a tiny bit?
