Fartlek Run: Fun To Say, Even More Fun To Run!

Today Ryan and I headed over to the old stomping grounds and completed a 2 mile Fartlek run. I couldn’t tell you the last time I did one of these, but when he said “let’s go on a run” I immediately said it had to be a Fartlek! A Fartlek run is a run in which you travel a short distance and complete a set of body weight exercises. You can choose to stop after a certain amount of time, or pick destinations in your path to stop at.

Earlier today, I came home to a new workout jacket on my bed from this wonderful man. I’ve been looking for a new warm up jacket for quite some time, and I’m absolutely in love with this one! And it just so happened to be the perfect temperature to go running outside with a jacket! After our run, we decided to pick up some steaks and chow down to get our protein fix! Tomorrow’s Friday, enjoy your cheat day! I’m headed to some secret surprise destination with Ryan. I’m really excited to find out what he’s been planning! :)
He's always pushing me to be stronger and better in more ways than fitness.
 He is without a doubt my better half <3
Side Note: I'm already obsessed with this jacket and

 I'm thinking my glutes look pretty damn good ;)
