Cone of Shame

Seen on my Run

Total mileage this week, 21 miles. Right on par with my goal at this point in half marathon training which is that I have to run three weeks of 20 or more miles, then I get a rest one with 15. I also swam for 1000 yards with Brooke on Tuesday up at the Noyes community pool. It rocked. Go cross training! Can't wait to swim again.

Construction on my run. Not sure what kind of crane it is. My dad asked if it had big wheels or small wheels, and then rough wheels or smooth wheels. I just took a picture to send to him.

Random torn up concrete around the burns common area. Someone forgot their hammer. Also caught one of my running shoes.

On Wednesday I did some speed work that ended up finishing kind of late (six miles!). Running up the hill at the end of my run I came across this sight and found it picture worthy.

Then on Friday I did the Milwaukee version of the color run. It got much worse after this when Pete, Craig and I ended up in a colored corn starch packet fight! So much fun. I'd rock the color run with them again in a second, despite the eventual shot to the eye I took.

My hair once I got home. Totally had dinner at Trocadero on the patio afterward. Adult grilled cheese with sweet potato frites. YUM.

As a side note, when I run, prior to heading out I use a neutrogena acne pad on my face and other acne prone areas that tend to get sweaty. It's still coming up a little green three full days later. I'm guessing it's from my hairline, but I guess you never really know!

Funky Shirt Friday

Can't go wrong with the penguins, unfortunately I did go wrong with my sunglasses, as I left my favorite pair at work and ended up stuck with these.

This Weeks Running Summary

Again, I love this gas station. Cracks me up all the time. 

Wedding. Everyone seemed so happy!

Super forbidding sky to the north. Lightening started moving in on downtown and ended my fantastic feeling run slightly early. That's ok I suppose. Ended at about 23 miles for the week. Not too shabby.

Up the Oak Leaf. Four miles down today, plus a bonus leg work out. 

Tree down! Just a block or two from my apartment. I wonder what happened? 

Pretty Sweet Clouds

The photo doesn't completely do them justice, but they were pretty rocking.

As Seen on my Run

Speed work Wednesday turned into rainy day after root canal long run Wednesday with Pete and Tony. Ran around the Nicolet track for 7.12 miles in about an hour. I thought I should keep the risk of cracking my teeth together to a minimum, and avoiding speed work seemed logical at the time. Run felt awesome though!

I Think She Missed Me

Back from NYC and she won't leave my pillow, let alone my side. Sigh. I love my high maintenance girl, even if everyone else considers her a semi-monster/demon spawn.

Last run before I went out of town.

As Seen on my Vacation Run

Hot, humid, but gorgeous.

Really Not Looking Forward to This

This is only about half of the bill. :(
