Wanna love workouts? I have the key.

(tank, shorts, shoes still on sale)

Andrew joined me for my progression run on Friday (workout from RUNNA-> code JANAE2 gives you 2 weeks free). 3 mile w/u and then 7:07, 6:41, 6:15, 5:53, 2 mile c/d. I have a half that I am thinking about in August, and so I put that into RUNNA for them to put together a plan for me.

Andrew was the best and rode ahead to help me avoid stopping at stoplights during the tempo… I am positive it is so much harder to stop and then start up again during speed than to just keep going.

I have the key to help anyone who needs/wants to start loving speed workouts more. It’s simple. Are you ready for it?

Before you start your intervals, say out loud, “This is fun.” And when you finish the workout, say out loud, “That was fun.” It sounds silly, but it works. Your body will believe you, and before you know it, you’ll enjoy the pain more than ever.

It ALL begins in the mind. Your body will follow your mind’s lead.

It was a weekend full of sports spectating between baseball games and rugby.

We finally bought a canopy, and it has made my life infinitely better. I do not like being in the direct sun unless I am in the water.

We had Brooke’s soccer team over to watch the World Cup. Brooke and her bestie made these brownie skewers.

We went to Sam’s Club for pizza crusts and came home with a FIFA World Cup Foosball table. We need to just do Sam’s Club delivery so we aren’t tempted to buy random things when we are walking around, but this purchase was worth it…

Skye had an early-morning soccer practice, so Andrew and I ran loops around her fields while she practiced. 7 miles @ 8:51 pace + strength training afterward.

Sunday morning we had the egg scrambles, and then about two hours later we decided we needed a sweet breakfast, too–> German Pancakes, while watching Germany play in the World Cup 🙂

I did not think Max would love the hammock, but he jumps on it every time Brooke sits down.

We took our Sunday hike club chill yesterday because we were all feeling pretty lazy and just walked along the river for a bit to watch the fish swimming upstream. I hope your week is off to a great start. I need June to last forever.

Any unexpected random purchases for you lately?

Is the start of the week Sunday or Monday in your mind?

-Monday for me!

Are you a shade seeker like me?
