Friday Favorites

Hello there and happy Friday! I am so excited to get back into Friday favorites and share a few highlights from the week with you. I hope you all have some great things planned for this weekend, Landon and I are probably going to be relaxing, working on some projects and doing a few fun, local activities!

Crusty Bread

I know, I know this sounds so funny. But, on Wednesday, I went to our local bakery and got a loaf of the crustiest (is that a word?) airiest, sourdough bread ever. And it hit the spot. I paired it with some easy, crock pot lentil soup and GAME OVER. I think I could eat that dinner at least 3 times a week. Hello, yum.

SUNSHINE

There’s something about sunshine streaming into the windows in the afternoon hours that makes me SO happy. And I don’t know if it is like this every winter, but I feel like this winter I barely saw this sun at all. No thank you. Thank goodness for this current week of sunshine and warm-ish weather. Come on, spring. Where are you?

Increasing Mileage

This week, I am on a mission to hit 36-37 miles and I am definitely on track to hit it! YAYYY! Ever since training/running my marathon this fall, my weekly mileage was averaging around high 20s (which was fine) but I am really enjoying hitting some bigger mileage weeks as I prepare to CRUSH my half marathon PR 😉 Growing distance is hard and it takes a lot of patience with consistent effort, but I am so excited to see a lot of progress and overall strength! My goal is to increase my mileage to over 40 miles a week (AHH) and test out my level of fitness/running at a higher mileage week than I am used to. We will see what happens!

And that’s it a few things that made this week especially happy! I hope you all have an awesome weekend ahead of you, whatever you may be doing! Tell me, what is your weekend like?
