Hello there! Sorry for the late post today; work has been ca-razy! Like seriously, I’ve been running around non-stop all day trying to get a million things done. It’s kind of great though because it makes the time go by so much faster. Weekend, here I come!
Anyyyyway, since it’s Friday let’s jump right into today’s Fashion Friday post! Here’s my outfit today:
Skirt: Lands’ End Canvas ($12!!)
Shoes: Rue La La
Seriously, can you believe I got that skirt for so cheap?? Lands’ End Canvas is sooo amazing. I bought some jeans there recently for like $19 and my favorite shorts are from there as well ($12). Their regular priced stuff is just so-so (aka- not worth it), but those sales get me every time! Plus, it’s good quality stuff. You should seriously check it out!
Bootcamp Update
Today was another great day for bootcamp! I started my morning by running to the gym, which is only maybe 1/4 mile away (if that) and then I completed the following interval workout on the treadmill:
It was a good one! Running on the 8 speed was a pretty good challenge for me and I was really sweaty at the end of the workout. Then I did a circuit that worked my core muscles. My abs were feeling it big time! This bootcamp has been great so far
Olympics
So I don’t know about you guys, but I am pretty pumped for the Olympic ceremony tonight. I have been watching the coverage on the Today Show all week and they have been building up the ceremony like crazy! I don’t know how they are going to top the ceremony from Beijing a few years ago (those robots people were amazing
), but according to the Today Show it’s being directed by the guy who directed Slum Dog Millionaire and is going to feature Peter Pan in some fashion. I’m so down with that!

As I mentioned yesterday, my friends and I will be getting together for an Olympics party tonight. My friend Rachel from work found this amazing article with tips on how to throw an Olympics party, and I have a feeling the beer olympics drinking game (tip #26) will definitely be on our agenda tonight, along with a few of the other ideas (colored shots??)
Also, we debated some costumes to wear out tonight including but not limited to:
- USA gear
- Having each person be a different color from the Olympic rings
- Dressing up like one of the athletes…perhaps in a tight bejeweled leotard?

Hm. Maybe not. Oh well, either way it should be a fun time!!
So tell me, how do you plan on celebrating the opening ceremony?




















Oh my gosh all I have to say is I’m thoroughly impressed at your ability to run at 8.0 on the treadmill for 2-3 minutes in intervals! haha I’m just such a weakling when it comes to running at 8.0 unless I’m REALLY in the zone. Props!
Omg yeah that speed was soooo tough. I had originally tried doing more of an increase with the interval (I tried 2.5) and I tried making the other interval faster (like 5 or 5.5) but I just couldn’t do it lol. The 8 speed really took it out of me!
Love your outfit. Absolutely adorable!
How were the opening ceremonys? Unfortunately, they didn’t come on over here until 11 @ night, and w/ the hubs having to be up at 4:30 in the morning for work today, we went to bed around 9:30-10 haha. Thankfully the events are on @ a decent hour though
The ceremonies were pretty cool! They were different from what I was expecting and at first I was underwhelmed, but after thinking about it more and watching recaps I decided they were pretty cool
I love that J. Crew shirt!!! I’ve been doing treadmill intervals lately, just to keep myself from getting bored!
P.S. Are you coming to the Virginia Bloggers meet up next Saturday?? It would be so awesome to meet you in person!!!
I would love to!! Richmond is pretty far for me and I’m supposed to help my boyfriend’s sister move apartments on Saturday (ugh.) but I’m trying to get out of it so I can come. It would be AMAZING to meet you all in person
What a great interval workout! I’ll have to try it out!
