You have such a great variety in your weekly workouts. That's something I'm working towards as I'm on the mend and hoping to prevent re-injuring. Like ever again.

I unfollow (not unfriend) anyone who posts anything political. I don't care which side you're on, I don't want to see it. I want to see pictures from races, your kids in their fancy prom clothes, vacations, etc.<br /><br />I cut back to running three days a week several years ago and it has worked well for me. Like you, I lift and do yoga so I'm getting a well-balanced fitness routine. 57° and drizzly sounds like great marathon running weather, but I heard there was a little wind which would be a bummer.<br /><br />Thanks for the linkup and have a great week!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15673587906852568968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-8541644657752352222018-10-09T08:55:57.147-05:002018-10-09T08:55:57.147-05:00Congrats on your great runs (and other workouts) t...Congrats on your great runs (and other workouts) this week!

I always enjoy seeing what you do in boot camp. Yeah, Facebook...it's been awful. And the people who agree with me on the latest happenings are sometimes the most annoying, because it's just too much negativity. I've been retreating to IG a lot more too since it's more of an escape!<br /><br />I should probably stay away from the marathon distance at this point, but if I ever had the opportunity, I'd LOVE to run Chicago!
