Happy 7Eleven Day!!!

And it's a Happy Birthday day to my bro-in-law David!!!  Doesn't he have the most fun birthday?!
Go visit your local 7Eleven and get free 7.11oz Slurpee!  Yay!!

Today was my first week day MORNING workout in a l.o.n.g. time.  Seriously.  I prepared last night to the point that it would be more of a pain to not go to the gym...and I made it.  Alarm started singing at 4:20...I was up after a snooze sesh and out the door.  I got in some biceps, back, and started a speed work out.  My goal was 3-1mile repeats with 1 mile warm up, one mile cool down.  Not gonna lie...they suck.  But I was determined.  Then, a really good friend I haven't seen in a while came over to chat and I was done...I did get 2 of my 3 mile repeats in, plus the warm up and cool down.  I put in 4.25 miles.  I'll just make up the extra mileage later on this week during my tempo run.  But it felt good to be up and working before work.  Then, I don't have the option to be too tired after work...and there's nothing going on in the morning besides sleep so...might as well...right?

This weekend, among other things, I spent some time catching up on my Harry Potter thanks to ABC Family!  I realized I still haven't seen every movie.  I got a jump on the HP train a bit later than most.  My company built part of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal, so when I started seeing the models and drawings for what we were going to build...I decided I needed to check them out since the detailing was pretty interesting.  I figured there had to be something to those stories.  Come to find out there was and I really like them.  I might try and read the books next.  I remember being in high school still when the first movie came out...my senior year.  I just thought, how crazy that it was going to take 10 years to see all the movies...and here we are...10 years later.

Are you going to see the final HP movie??

Are you a morning or night work out fan?

Did you participate in any fun activities this weekend?

Wanna do 16 miles on Saturday? :-) Omg, I'm scared. That will be my longest distance ever.

I'm not much of a Harry Potter fan. I mean, I like it...but I'm not all crazy for it. I'm one movie behind too so I can't see the new one. I'll just have to sit around and wait for the next Twilight. :-)

I am trying a new thing -- cross training in the mornings and then when I run -- do that in the afternoons. We'll see how it goes. I feel great today but it is only day one lol

I would LOVE a slurpee right now! I have to work out at night since I have to be at work at 7am and that would mean I'd have to be done working out by 6am which means with travel time to the gym... I'm waking up at 430.. NOPE, not THIS girl!
