[dog days are over]

-florence + the machine (lovelovelove)

Note to self: do more pushups.

Good.

I have made a few adjustments to my workout routine this week - I was so wiped out yesterday that I opted to use it for my rest day, thus switching my tempo run to Friday. This morning I hopped out of bed and did 3 miles at a 9:27 pace. Not bad, but not quite where I'm looking to be yet. That's okay, I'm still only a third of the way into my training for the Monster Dash. This afternoon I did the Feisty 50 again, with less butt-kicking this time around. I still couldn't do all 50 burpee push ups, I only made it to 40. Next time, burpee push ups, next time you will be mine.

The hubs and I made a special trip to Bed, Bath, and Beyond tonight (it's within walking distance of our humble abode, joy!) and walked out with not one, not two, but three new Yankee Candles! Maybe it's a little weird that I get so geeked about candles, but these are pretty extraspecial. We procured Meyer Lemon, Apple Pumpkin, and Meadow Showers. Our apartment is slowly filling with a clean, lemony scent as I type. It really is the little things...

Tomorrow's Friday, yippee! My first official full week back to work is coming to a close :) Things are slowly taking shape, and I'm finding I enjoy this position more and more each day. It's certainly challenging, to say nothing of trying to craft a schedule (which is a beast of it's own), but so far a wonderful experience.

Here are a few of my fav dog pics (hubs and I watched a show that happened to have a pack of dogs, so I'm sharing the dog love.)

 

 

you keep dreaming, little frenchie!

Life is good :)
