- I decided to go all pink (well, black shorts) for my May marathon and got these beauties to wear (Women’s Gel-Nimbus 25s)!
- I’m going to try to keep up my strength class frequency (typically 4-5 classes a week) while upping my mileage for training but we’ll see how realistic that is (likely not very).
- WWM (my gym) does a March Madness challenge that’s 65 burpees (without the pushup, so not really a burpee, but still) a day. EVERY CLASS. It’s horrible. HORRIBLE. They aren’t even 65 in a row, but I still don’t want to do them.
- Dune: Part Two was so good! We’re going to see it again in IMAX. Seeing part two in the theater makes me wish I could have seen part one in the theater. Maybe it’ll come back.
- I finally started learning Dutch on Duolingo for our trip in April. Not sure why I waited until March to start, but it’s been fun to learn a new language. Steven took German in high school so I asked him to refresh on that.
- Mani from last week!

You can never go wrong with pink!
Ugh I don’t ever want to do burpees but now that I’ve said that I feel compelled to do some. Also since I’m in a good place with pushups right now I feel like I need to try adding that to the mix. Stay tuned…
Actually I feel like it’s smart not to start learning Dutch too far in advance. You’ll have time to get through the basics and then get to practice while it’s still fresh.
Oh yes! I bet you will rock those burpees!!! Keep me posted!
Thanks, I appreciate that! I do hope I actually use it there.
Trying to figure out the perfect combo of strength training + cardio + stretching/flexibility is impossible. Good luck trying to figure out that balance while you’re training.
It is! Thanks!
Oooo I LOVE those shoes! I once programmed a whole class that was all burpee variations when I taught boot camp. I thought people were going to walk out 🙂 but I am the weirdo who loves burpees. I will take a burpee over a pushup or a mountain climber any day
Thanks!
OMG, I would have hated that so much! I would definitely do anything over a real burpee. Well, over a bunch of them in a row. I can do a few and don’t mind them at all. But sets of 25? Eh.
You always have the best manis!
Aww, thank you!
Fijn, je leert nederlands! Dikke proficiat en heel graag tot binnenkort! 🙂
I understood the first sentence w/o using Google Translate. Woo hoo! Ik spreek een beetje Nederlands.
OMG I LOOOOVE THOSE SHOES! You’ll be so easy to spot in those bad boys, haha.
65 burpees every class should be classified as torture. Godspeed.
Thank you! I will be! My knee high socks are bright pink too.
I agree! Gah.
Oooooooh I want those shoes! So cute!
Oooh, those shoes! How do you like the style, though? I’ve been considering moving away from the Brooks Ghost. Thoughts?
And also… burpees. Just, no. 🙂
They work well for me on the roads – they are a bit too cushy on the trails but I get used to them after a few miles!
LOL!
