Wednesday night I hit the gym (because it's become beyond cold/wet/miserable here....again) and also because it's easier to do hill repeats on the treadmill. I had a 2 mile warm up then 7x400 at ~5k pace. I started with the incline and thought I was going to die, so I only lasted for 2 repeats, then 2 on 3.5, then the final 3 on 3. This was WAY HARDER than the last time I did hill repeats, but I recovered really quickly from each one. Weird. 1:43, 1:50, 1:50, 1:49, 1:48, 1:47, 1:44. And then the gym closed so I could only do a 1/2 mile cooldown instead of a mile. Rude.
Weekly Wishlist : Dress Edition
I've been obsessed with finding that "perfect" spring-y dress. Don't ask me why, because I don't have any spring/summer formal events to attend. Whatevs.
I love the marigold color of this. It's just asking to be worn once I have a nice golden brown sun tan (with garmin tan lines, natch.)
I would like this dress to wear to go to tea. Because that's what everyone in sodak does. Formal tea time.
I don't think I love this one as much as I originally did. I think the coloring on it is great. Maybe an outdoor wedding, a slight breeze would give it a really fun flowy feel. Ok, I've talked myself back in to it. Non-existent outdoor wedding dress...check!
Soooooooo soooooooo sooooooo pretty. Obsessed. I tend to think this is the color of my eyeballs so I'm drawn to anything in this hue. Case in point, currently wearing a scarf in the exact color. It's a pashmina which makes me feel uber snobby, but my BFFF in Cambodia sent it to me. Sooooooo pretty.
Oh yeah, the dress. I need to have this. Like now. I'll even wear it for a race if that's what it'll take to justify the $$ in my brain.
this post probably isn't helping with trying to redo don't spend march :)
ReplyDeleteI love me a spring dress! :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad hill training is done for awhile! Haven't done it on a treadmill before- I need fellow runners to help me get through the repeats so probably won't be doing it solo any time soon.
ReplyDeleteI need a dress for a couple summer weddings! Hoping to drop my food baby before I purchase one though. Maybe I should stop eating cookies...
I have a dress similar to the brown/cream one shoulder you posted and I love it!! Just have to be careful that the layers don't flip up when you stand up. Don't want to be giving everyone a peep show!
Do you shop for dresses online? I have to try the dress on before committing- they never look the same on me as they do on the hanger.
I so want to get some cute summer dresses! I have only one and I need some more to just have to wear instead of shorts!
