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.

Corn starch, fitness, friends, awesome

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!
