Running 4/6

Posting twice in a day?! This is weird. If you haven’t seen my giveaway yet don’t forget to enter!

I was going to wait and include my runs in tomorrow’s post but I’ve decided not to. I have no reason behind this. Actually I do, it’s at the bottom of the post.

So! Here are my runs and lifting stuff from last week. My first meet is on Tuesday(!!!) and I’m looking forward to resting up until then. Wait… that’s only tomorrow. Oh no guys I’m not ready for this.

Sunday

Much appreciated rest! I spent more of it on my feet than I’d have liked but it was worth it for what I was doing 😀 that’s coming at ya tomorrow!

I wanted to talk about something a little. I feel like I only post when I have a long, well-put-together (sometimes;) post, therefore I don’t get to post as frequently. I think if I had more short, miscellaneous posts that I’d be able to post more often and be more connected to the blog. I have so many post ideas but it’s like they’re not worthy of their own post because they’re too short. I mean, it’s not like there’s a certain length blog posts have to be 😉 tell me what you guys think!
