Friday Five: Fitness Snapshots

July 10, 2014 By: Courtney @ Eat Pray Run DC53 Comments

Happy Friday, y’all! Maybe because last week was short, this week has felt loonnng so I’m extra happy that it’s Friday! Per usual, I’m linking up with Mar and Cynthia and today we are sharing our fitness snapshots from the week! Enjoy and make sure to link up your Friday Five post. You can read our linkup rules here. Please note that if you don’t play nicely, we will delete your link. 

Friday Five- Fitness Snapshots!

 

Obviously this is gonna be a picture heavy post…here we go! 

sunday

 

I usually run in the morning, so this evening run (necessitated because I was gone last weekend and we had switched around our tempo run to the weekend because we did our long run on July 4th) was way tougher that I thought it should be. But got it done!

monday

I cheated a tiny bit with this pic — I’m using the same pic for Monday and Friday since I’m having this post go live late Thursday (before my Friday barre class). However, if you follow me on instagram, you’ll know that I regularly go to barre class — I love it and it constantly challenges me!

tuesday

 

Um. I do not love mile repeats. That’s about all I’ll say about that (until my workout recap next week, anyway). 

thursday

6 miles at long tempo pace. This was my first significant run solo in awhile and I missed by buddy, Julie. It was boring without anyone to talk to and it made me really appreciate having a great running buddy right up the street! 

Well…there’s my week. I’m so excited to see y’all’s week in fitness! Share away!

    I miss Barre! My usual studio closed earlier this year and I haven’t found a replacement. So fun to embrace the shake!

      the new balance 1080s – they are a bit heavier than my adidas boost but i’m enjoying switching between the two shoes!

    Friends have raved about Pure Barre. I really need to try those classes. Nice job on the long tempo run. I find it much harder to run without my friends. The runs go so much faster with a pal.
