Friday favorites: fantastic from start to finish
This week was fantastic from start to finish. Starting with my beautiful nails by Meghan (Tiramisu and Rose Glitter) and my new book. My sisters and I are reading this book together–an online book club!
Saturday was the Girls on the Run 5K Celebration. It was so fantastic, I did a whole blog post about it, but here are a few more pics I haven’t shared yet. Start and finish.
Few things are better than mint and dark chocolate. Yummy!
Hiking Memory Grove with two of my favorite guys (hubby and grandson, Wells). This was hike #2 of the EMI Health President’s Wellness Challenge.
And then home to watch the Survivor Finale while enjoying donuts and coffee. I couldn’t choose between the chocolate and maple glaze, so I convinced Larry to split them with me. (Notice the cup!)
Now we head into the three-day weekend at Hawkes Landing.
What about you, what was fantastic about your week?
What are you doing this Memorial Day weekend?
What is your favorite dessert?
10k training update
Since Friday, here’s what training has looked like:
- S-3.1 mile run at the GOTR 5K Celebration
- Su-yoga
- M-strength train
- T-2.5 mile run at the gym
- W-2 mile hike
- Th-4 mile run on the Jordan River Parkway trail
- F-rest
For the GOTR 5K, running buddies (that’s me) match the pace of their partner, which was 13’15”. The pace for my 4-miler was 11’43”.
Congrats on the GOTR! And all your other running endeavors. One great thing about this week is today is the last day before summer break! A favorite dessert of mine (I have many) is an apple fritter, but it has to be from Salt Lake Donut and Deli. Have fun at Hawkes Landing!
Thanks Cindy. I do like apple fritters, but they are not my favorite–probably because I haven’t had one from Salt Lake Donut and Deli. I’m so jealous of your summer break. I can’t convince my office to close for three months. 🙁 I’m looking forward to our 10K in two weeks!
Good deal on the 10K training Christie! And on the 5K too. I just ran around Central Park for about 45 minutes here in NYC yesterday. This has highlighted my Memorial Day weekend 😉 A few runs a week, more walking and a lot more stretching to limber up a bit.

Thanks Ryan. I actually prefer the run/walk combination and even walk a portion of every race. I may not be the fastest, but it keeps me going. Enjoy the rest of your Memorial Day–though a run around Central Park will be hard to beat. 🙂
This is awesome. You are doing some serious running. Thanks for stopping by anointedtoday.blogspot.com.
You’re welcome Betty. I love meeting other bloggers.
