Friday Thoughts 88

Greetings! Welcome to this week’s edition of Friday Thoughts. Let’s dive in.

Vacation

The Miner family is headed on vacation to the White Mountains next week for our annual summer trip. My goals are to climb the Rock Pile a freakish amount of times, double doses of ice cream, plopping rocks in the river, Storyland and building my—I mean Elliot’s—new Imperial TIE Fighter LEGO set…Don’t tell him yet, it’s a surprise!

Riley

While I’m away next week, long-time and well-known member, Riley, will be covering some coaching duties at GAIN. If you didn’t know, Riley has a fitness instructor background and is thrilled to be getting more involved. Make sure to tell Riley she’s awesome the next time you see her!

FAST MILE Summer

This was week 5 of the Fast Mile Summer Project. I skipped the first session since I’m coming off the race, and I did Day 2— 600m repeats— yesterday at the track. It was hot! I ran a little faster than target pace on the first one, and pushed a little harder each effort. I was aiming for 6 sets, but after the fourth, and my fastest of the day, I had enough. I skipped the last two and headed to the beach to jump in the ocean.

Have a great week!
