Highlights of the Week:
A book and a pedicure
Monday night I finally started reading a book. It's one of the bonus activities for my birthday challenge, and, for me, probably the most challenging one! I need to carve out more time to read, if I'm going to finish in the next 12 days.
Running & Fig Toast
I enjoyed a couple fun runs this week. Tuesday was a pretty dreary morning, but at least the temps were a bit cooler. Thursday was surprisingly a sub-10 pace run, which always makes me happy. This morning's run was fabulous going out, but the headwind coming back sucked the life out of me.

I followed Thursday's run with some delicious fig & peanut butter toast.
Birthday Challenge
I'm having so much fun with my challenge! There have been a couple days when I nearly missed doing the exercise, but so far I haven't missed a single day! There are just 12 more days (including today, which I've already finished), but feel free to jump in and celebrate with me any time!
I've been posting the exercises each day on Instagram and Twitter, or you can download the calendar here.
I meant to post a preview of Days 11-20, but here it is day 18 and I'm just getting the video uploaded. Here's the Part 2 review video instead.
Saturday evening hike
It's the end of the month, and we still had to get in a new hike! We wanted to take it easy, so we went to Exploration Peak Park. The hike up to the peak is only about 1/2 mile, so it sounded perfect! Here's a little video of our hike.
Tone It Up Vegas Meetup
I was nervous about attending this meetup. I'm not always so good in groups, but it started with yoga, so I decided to take a chance. I'm so glad I went! I'd met a few girls back in April at a meetup that was a boot camp style workout, but it was difficult to really get to know any of the girls (other than the one I was partnered with). Today's meetup was yoga at the M Resort, but most of us hung out at the resort's pool afterwards. It was a ton of fun to chitchat with so many amazing women! And total icing to get "recognized."
We even FaceTimed with Kat herself!
How was your week?
Do you get anxious about group meetups when you don't know a lot of people?
Are you a reader?

I'm linking up today with guest host Deborah as well Tricia & Holly for the Weekly Wrap. Have fantastic week, everyone!
Sleeping in can feel so good sometimes!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a busy week full of great workouts!
Some weekends, it is an absolute necessity! :)
DeleteI love to read,but most days the only reading I get done is reading blogs. The blogs are great, but I really need to make time to read other stuff....
ReplyDeleteExactly! Reading blogs and keeping up with social media is so time consuming!!
DeleteSounds like such a super fun weekend! Which was kind of what I was envisioning for us yesterday but so didn't get. :(
ReplyDeleteLife has been a little frustrating lately, but really, all small stuff.
I'm so impressed that you run all summer in Vegas! Outside! And that hike actually looks pretty amazing.
Thanks, Judy! I'm a heat-loving runner. :) Sorry to hear that life has been frustrating lately. Hopefully, it gets better soon.
DeleteHow fun does that TIU meetup look! I think everyone probable gets a wee bit nervous meeting people in groups like that ...so glad you had a great time! 12 more days to big birthday, huh? You're really blowing this one out! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely trying! LOL :-)
DeleteI do love to read. I'm a little behind my schedule from the past couple years, but there are two books I want to read that are being released tomorrow. Maybe those will help me catch up.
ReplyDeleteI'm so impressed with people who make the time to read. I read all the time as a child.
DeleteGreat week of workouts! I always get anxious going to meet up with a group when I don't know many of the people.
ReplyDeleteYour peanut butter and fig toast looks amazing! I will have to try that :)
Thanks, Sara! Definitely try the fig toast, if you can find fresh figs. :)
DeleteGreat job! And I love your birthday challenge, what a great idea! The TIU meetup looks fun...I definitely get nervous about groups like that when I don't know anyone, but it's a good way to get out of your comfort zone!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Janelle! Still a couple days left of my challenge, if you want to join me for a bonus activity or two. :)
DeleteI also get anxious when meeting people I don't know. Also, I am an introvert so I don't like large crowds. I don't mind meeting people but prefer to do so in smaller crowds.
ReplyDeleteI love to read too! Right now I want to finish reading all of John Grisham's books.
Yes, I'm exactly the same way! A group of 5-6 is much more manageable for me.
DeleteYour TIU meetup looks like so much fun, glad you got to meet some great new people.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Abby! I'm so glad that I decided to go!
DeleteYou have been amazing during my challenge. I'm so glad you're doing it with me. :)
