Mud Mania 5K Run

Hello fashionistas!

Again I fell off the blogging bandwagon. So much has been going on in my life and I feel like I barely have enough time to get everything that has to be done much less sit down and write posts. I have missed blogging and my readers so much and I really want to get back to posting more regularly than once a month. 

I have a fun post to share with you guys! The other weekend my friend, Victoria, and I ran in this Mud Mania 5K. It was an 18 obstacle course throughout mud all the while still running a 5K. Here are some nice shots that really capture all the climbing, swimming, and running that we did. Out of 421 people we finished at 100 and 101. I was so proud of the two of us because it was much more intense than we had expected. 

This is us sliding down into about 5 feet of mucky water and mud. 

This was us after our dirty run. I'm so proud of the two of us! We now are planning to run a half marathon and we started training this week. We are doing a 20 week plan to prepare and it steadily increases the number of miles that you run each week. I never ever thought I would love running so much. 

Have you guys taken up any surprising hobbies?

 I miss you guys and I promise promise promise to try to post more often! I have only 27 more days until my last day as a high school student! We graduate on May 30th, but we stop having to come to school on the 16th. This is slightly a lie because I have to come back to take all of my college exams until June 11th. Oh well, at least they are spread out.

Loads of love!

New Running Shoes and Current Workout Jams

Hello fashionistas!

I have recently taken up running and my mom told me I had to get new shoes. She took me to a running store and I was fitted for a pair of running shoes! Very exciting stuff. I tried on about five different pairs. I thought that getting fit for shoes would be an awkward experience, but I had a really nice man who told me what my feet were doing when I was running. I ended up with shoes that gave my ankles more support because I have pronation. This means that my ankle rolls inward when I put my feet down. These are by the brand Asic. 

I took these bad boys for a spin today and ran 30 minutes straight (just over 2.6 miles). I'm really proud of myself because I never thought I would be a runner, but here I am just running away! I increased my pace throughout my run from a 5.2 to a 5.5. I ended the last 10 minutes at a 5.5 pace. I'm pleasantly surprised with myself! The shoes made my run a lot more comfortable. I cannot wait to keep running with them. 

I've recently begun listening to country music (UH WHO AM I? RUNNING AND COUNTRY MUSIC I DON'T EVEN KNOW) and I wanted to share a few country songs I really enjoy running to! 

I Want Crazy by Hunter Hayes keeps me at a good speed and I love the catchy lyrics.

Flat On the Floor by Carrie Underwood is such a good song to workout to. Fast paced and powerful.

Best I Ever had by Gavin Degraw is a quick beat and keeps my feet moving.

I know this doesn't really count as country, but I still love this song.

Hope you guys have had a great weekend! I'm off to go meet a friend for coffee. 

Loads of love!
