We had planned on running 6-8 miles depending on how we felt, and my goal was to hold onto 9 min/mile for the run. I was pretty proud of myself because I was able to push through the first 6 miles at a 9 min pace. Then my legs were shot.. I slowly walked/jogged the last two miles to our house. It was a little painful, and hot out… in the 80s!
How was your weekend? Wondering, do you make a workout schedule for the week or wing it?

Sounds like a perfect weekend! My husband and I used to live in Winter Park and that picture of the street with all of the trees took me back! I miss living there! These chicken sliders sound delish!!
Omg. so cool. I just love the area!
Wow! Sounds like a great sunday and those landscape photos are absolutely beautiful, kinda jealous and want to live where you do!
On a side note, these sandwiches sound divine. Love the avocado addition girl! 🙂

Ahhh thank you, we love it! It sure was a beautiful morning…
The weekend was great as we cheered on the Seattle Seahawks for victory 🙂 I love your recipe, I also do one very similar and made it for the party we hosted…I pretty much “wing it” for workouts…I am attending daily Pure Barre classes and have been slacking on picking up my running again {which bums me out as I need more cardio}
I'm sure you did have a great weekend! Congrats!! I've never tried a Barre class but I'm going to be joining forces with our local Barre studio to do nutrition talks. I hear it's a FUN workout. I'm all about enjoying fitness!
Yum! The sliders sound awesome! And I'm totally jealous of your 80 degree weather! I've been missing running outside. I think you've posted before about using Jawbone and was wondering how you liked it? I'm trying to decide between that and a fit bit at the moment.
Thanks girl! Yep, I use JawboneUp and love it because it keeps me honest and helps me to find ways to move throughout the day. I'm honestly not familiar with all the intricacies of the FitBit but from what I gather they are relatively similar.
Awesome! Thanks for the info. I'm just looking for something to get me moving throughout the day. The downside of an office job.
You're welcome! I'm right there with you…some days are better than others but it's helping me to figure out alternatives for moving when I'm more sedentary at work.
I'm so jealous of your Florida weather right now! I can't wait for the days when it's warm enough to comfortably run outside again. The chicken sliders look delicious, adding them to my list of recipes to try!
It's a little hot.. but I'm welcoming the sun!
