For this week’s #FridayFive, Courtney, Mar, and Cynthia are talking about all things Fitness, so it seemed like the perfect time to share some summer fitness goals!
- Embrace the plan — Training for my fall races has begun and I’m looking forward to diving into it and embracing the hill work, speedwork and long runs to come!
- Family running — My youngest son has announced he’d like to run a 5K and has already been asking when we can head to the track. And, my husband J has said he wants to continue to join me on my Saturday long runs (at least until I go beyond 10 miles – his declared cap!)
- Enjoy the outdoors — Beyond running, my family does a lot of hiking during the summer months. I’m also looking forward to some time on the tennis courts and maybe a little kayaking.
- Continue the slow & steady weight loss — I continue to make progress on this 2016 goal, and know being a few pounds lighter will go a long way on those hot long runs.
- Keep getting stronger — As I mentioned in my race recap, I can feel the benefits of the strength work starting to take hold. Trainer Stacy is planning to up the workouts so I can keep upping the mileage.
What are you planning this summer?
How cool you son wants to run a 5k. That will be fun training with him

I’m looking forward to seeing him progress. My oldest started running a couple of years ago, so it’s nice now to see my youngest embrace it!
That’s great that the family has been joining you on runs! I’m with you on the wanting to get outside more this Summer, and hopefully spending time on the water.

It’s been really nice to have my husband and boys embrace something I really love doing!
I love it when my son will do a race with me too! Strength training is my second love and I really see the results. Hope we see you for coffee date tomorrow 🙂
