StyleDiary: Summer Breezin’

Who picks the hottest day of the year to run a 5K? Me! It was already pushing 90 and so humid by 7:00 a.m.

When:

Saturday, June 20th

Where:

Summer Breeze 5K, Freedom Park, hittin’ up the Farmer’s Market and Great Harvest and breakfast at Einstein Bros. Bagels (my fave!) The run was great, I ran the whole 3.1 and while I came in at 32 minutes instead of under 30, I am proud to say I finished strong and I will keep running and hopefully beat my goal time!

What:

Running Skirt and Tank – Tar-jay

Shoes - Mizuno

Highlights from the race (hubby was sweet enough to come out so early on a Sat. and support me and be the photographer!):

Of course we started out on a pretty steep hill…and there were three more that were even worse throughout the rest of the race! Thank goodness for my upbeat ipod mix to keep me pumped up!

    That’s still an awesome time…especially with those hill…I am training for a 5k here in flat-flat-flat FLA and it’s been rough with the heat so I can’t imagine!
