Last week, I committed to the Runner’s World Run Streak. It starts today and runs (pun intended) through July 4th. 38 days of running at least 1 mile each day. Are you in?
This is a great way to jump-start your summer fitness.
I spent the weekend in Seattle with Coach. It was a ‘business trip’ for him and a nice break from small-town life for me.
Thursday night, we attended a fundraiser which meant dressing up. My mom found this skirt at Goodwill & I had it tailored.
Fundraisers can be stuffy, but this event was fun and the food was surprisingly delicious.

I gave my steak to Coach, because I no longer eat beef or pork.
And, I wish I would’ve captured pictures of the appetizers: spring rolls, crab cakes, kabobs. YUM!
Our hotel had a great gym, so get ready for some circuit workouts this week!
The treadmills were ultra nice with individual TV’s. But, I wanted to incorporate strength training as well, so I meshed the two!
5 rounds
- 800m run
- 15 push-ups on 15 lbs. dumb bells with row and spiderman knee tuck
- 20 cross back lunges with knee tucks holding dumb bell
- 20 plank knee tucks on stability ball
This circuit kept my heart rate up and targeted core as well. I was a sweaty mess! The 3rd round of push-ups became pretty challenging.
Coach completed an intense CrossFit WOD with double-unders and push-presses. That shirt was originally light-grey. 
Being on the west side of the state means sushi HAD to happen too.

I wish I could do crossfit, but with my back injury, it’s a no-go. It looks like such an amazing workout!
I’m also doing the Runner’s World Running Streak…hoping I can get my miles in.
Glad to hear you are on-board!
hmmm i may do this run streak thing – def would be motivating for my running and a mile a day is totally a cinch!
At least do 1 today!
Whoa that dragon roll is so crazy looking, it looks alive!
LOVE the skirt
Thank you! Dragon roll was delish!
Absolutely love the skirt- You look HOT!
Sizzzzle. he he!
I’m going to try a ballet streak instead, seeing as I’ve totally renewed my passion for dancing – a complete barre routine every day
Suits me better and will still be a challenge. Good luck with the running (not that you need it!)
I am in one the challenge! So happy that you and Coach has some time together!!
Great Harm! Glad to hear it!!

My mom is so good at it–I love it too!
Great weekend away! Dressing up can be fun at times. Love the skirt! Awesome workout.
Thanks Mallory! On occasion, I love it too–but I always opt for comfort!
That sushi is making me drool!! Girl, I am so happy you two got to get away for business:) You are such a great example of still getting your workout in on vacation!! LOVE YOU!
Oh, I bet you are missing sushi! thank you J–Love you!

Lucky that the hotel gym was nice — that’s always a nice surprise. Sounds like a fun weekend
VERY lucky with the gym–so hit or miss sometimes!!

I call em weight training skirts these days.
Either way you look hawt in them: strong and beautiful!
Love the skirt!!! I have total sushi envy…I can’t have it now and that is of course all that I want!!!
Oh I bet you are so crazing it! End of summer, right??
I am in for the run streak. I missed yesterday (but I definitely walked a mile) because we were off biking around San Fran but the next 37 days I will actually follow through!
You’ll get some GREAT hill work in SF!
You look fabulous! The running streak sounds like fun! I honestly don’t think I can do it without some sort of injury. :/
TY! Just a mile/day–bet you’d surprise yourself!
i love that skirt! I would love to do the run streak but too much running in a row= unhappy foot! i will however bike…:)
That’s works!!
Yep, I’m trying it (the streak) too. Love your skirt!
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE circuit workouts! Keep rockin’ lady, you look amazing!
Love the skirt! It’s a great color. As for run streak – good luck with it! I can’t wait until I’m healed enough to run again.
Love the skirt!! You look gorgeous!
I LOVE the skirt that you had re-purposed at Goodwill! AWESOME!
Mmmmm ….that sushi looks so good! And I wish I could do the run streak. My body is just not up to back to back days of running and I don’t want to push it.
