Your Next Marathon- From Netflix

Has anyone else fallen in love with Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt? The hubs told me I needed to watch it and now, I have finished the first season in a week's time. I also cannot get that beginning song out of my head- "Unbreakable. Their alive, Kelly. It's a miracle!!"

The show was created as a Netflix original by everyone's favorite funny lady, Tina Fey. It stars Ellie Kemper (the red head from The Office), Jane Krakowski (30 Rock), and Tituss Burgess. oh ya, and Carol Kane. Whaatttt?! This show is one of the funniest and most uplifting shows out there right now. You will laugh, you may cry, but you will definitely finish it feeling better than when you started. I also simply love Krakowski's character- but who does not love the resident vapid girl, am I right? No really, am I the only one out there that loves those mean/brutally honest/self obsessed characters?? They are just so fun to watch!

Anyway, getting back on track, this show is wonderful. It has some pretty surprising guest appearances and a really great message. If you have not watched it yet, clear your schedule, I think you just made new plans for this weekend ;)

And remember, females are strong as Hell.

This Week in Workouts: Reunion

Happy August! Since we will be starting our camping adventure in a few short hours it just made sense to do Sunday's post today. Because of this, there will be no post on Sunday, but we will continue with regular blog posts all next week!

This week has been fantastic! It all started off with the last camp session and one that we have never done before- a camp reunion. We have had past campers, previous counselors, and camper parents participating camping this past week. People have come from all areas of the US, Colombia, Sweden, Australia, and Russia for this week at camp! Considering that a few of these people are also Olympians, marathoners, ultra-marathoners, and tri-athaletes, this week has not been a walk in the park on the fitness front. It has been so inspiring to have people 20+ years older than me kicking my butt in every fitness category. What a great reminder that age is but a number!

Sunday: I led the spine stretching and strengthening yoga flow for some of our camp attendees! It will be on the blog soon!

Monday: My favorite 3.75-mile run ever!

Tuesday: The Squat-tastic workout followed by this Lesley Fightmaster's yoga flow for runners.

Wednesday: An isometric ab workout you will see on the blog soon :) Seriously, this is the stealth kind of workout where you feel fine till two days later and suddenly unable to laugh due to core pain.

Thursday: One last run to my favorite bagel and coffee shop. It ends up being about 4.7-miles and at the end we met up with family and friends for some coffee, sweet rolls, bagels, and a few good byes!

Friday: Hitting the road!!

Weekly Workout Goal

Almost all of next week will be filled with camping followed by one day at Disney World! Because of this, I am keeping my workout goals pretty relaxed. Some of the things I would love to do are do some camp-style yoga, hike some of the Appalachian Trail, see a waterfall, and run some of those incredible Disney running paths. If this week turns into a massive s'mores and sleep fest, I am happy with that as well.

Happy weekend! I hope yours is filled with a bit of R&R as well :)
