Photos finally! ...and hard"core" ;)

“Live to workout. Workout to live.”
Beth Horn

First of all, welcome to my new followers...you are much appreciated...all 99 of you! :)

Second, please allow me to brag a little...thanks to Laura of Box Run Eat and her Core Challenge a while back, I have continued to focus on my core exercises during my workouts at the gym. The result of that is...this week, I did a 3 minute plank...yesssss! Very pleased...thanks for the motivation Laura.

After almost a week, I have finally received my Ottawa half-marathon photos...so although it's beginning to feel a little old to talk about the same race all the time...here are the pics anyways :)
My favorite!

Arms just coming down from a cheer I'd guess :)

Lookin' ahead

Focused

I did it!

Nothing much to add...this week has been pretty relaxed running-wise. An easy 4K on Monday and a warm-up 3K on Tuesday, before my gym workout. Work is extra busy this week...but, we have an easy 10K planned for Saturday.
Cheers!

Just wanted to tell you- CONGRATULATIONS on your first half! I've been so absent lately and I hate that I missed your posts on it. You rocked it and looked beautiful doing so. Hope you are having a fabulous weekend!

Those are great photos. I ordered a couple of photo's from the Race for the Cure - hope to get them this week . . . only problem is they are not giving digital images - so I will have to take a picture of the picture . . . weird.

Tara said...
