4th of July Weekend & Firecracker 5K Recap

Oh hey there! Honestly, I don’t know how it’s already Wednesday. Every day recently has been feeling both so long but so short – if that makes any sense. πŸ™‚ I’ve been working at the gym LOTS and while it’s overwhelming at times I’m thankful for the experience and honestly the $$ that comes along with it.

I’m hoping to settle into a *somewhat* regular schedule in a few weeks so that I’m not so frazzled, and can stop slacking on the home front. No joke – Henri opened the fridge yesterday morning and said “Well, I guess I’ll take this tupperware of rice for lunch”… two jobs + online coaching + grad school –> no grocery shopping gets done. πŸ™


 

If you follow me on Instagram you may have seen that yesterday was my birthday. I had a really busy day so I made sure to celebrate with a good run right off the bat!

7x 400m with a total of 7 miles on 7/7 to make my math loving heart happy (if only it was my 27th birthday… haha)! πŸ˜€

IMG_8713I was out and about from 7:30am to 10:30pm for work #1, work #2 and class (6-10pm is such a hard time for class) so since not much more celebrating happened let’s jump back to fourth of July and do a little 5ish words per picture recap!

What is your favorite sport to watch live? I love any sport live but especially tennis, soccer and baseball! πŸ™‚ 

Do you usually celebrate your birthday with a special run?
