Halloween Shenanigans

Happy Friday!!!

I cannot even begin to explain how happy I am that I will have two glorious days off...it has been a crazy week at work, I've been doing preparations and briefing material for my manager's upcoming trip to Rome next week for Executive Board meetings, along with trainings (which are awesome, but not when my to-do list is as long as it has been for the past little while), and then mix in some Halloween celebrations...and, well, this weekend couldn't come at a more perfect timing ;)

Workout


I got home yesterday and was going to do a HIIT workout, but I was feeling super antsy and wanted nothing more than to go outside for a run. It just so happened that it stopped raining for about an hours worth of time, so I went for it.


I don't overly recommend running by yourself along dimly-lit areas at night, especially if you are a lady, but the Rideau Canal is surprisingly well-lit in my area, and there is quite a lot of traffic going by in terms of other runners (who are crazy enough to go out running on Halloween night) and bikers, so I felt pretty safe. I made sure to have my music turned down low and only used one earbud juuust in case. I'm a big fan of erring on the side of precaution :)

Halloween Shenanigans


I met up with some friends to go to a keg party at their next-door neighbours place. I was feeling a bit lazy, so I threw on a leopard-print onesie that I found in my closet (I knew it would come in handy at some point) and took some inspiration from Miley Cyrus' fashion sense and put my hair in two buns to act as ears.


Worked out, n'est-ce pas?

I am taking it easy tonight and having dinner with a good friend of mine who is back in town tonight from Kingston, and then Saturday I have Halloween party round II. Because who doesn't like a good excuse to dress up :)

10/27 Fitness for the Week

Morning friends!

How has your weekend been?! I neglected to post again yesterday...clearly Saturdays are not my prime blogging day. I got up bright'n'early and went for a run along the canal this morning - it felt so good!


The Rideau Canal, my new fav place to go running

My foot is definitely feeling better, although my calf still feels a bit tight. I'm going to see my physio Liz again on Tuesday so she can give me some stretches to start doing so that I can go for longer runs. This morning was just an easy 5km jog, but I felt like I could have gone forever! I decided it was probs a good idea to take it easy, though, since I haven't run in about a month since I stressed my peroneal tendon. Le sad face. But so glad I am back out on the road!


Pre-Running Selfie

I made a yummy protein pancake when I got back home with raspberries and a drizzle of maple syrup, and skyped my little sister in Egypt. Fun times.


I'm just about to head out to watch my other sister's rugby game and then go for a family dinner at my Mom's cousin's place - a family-filled Sunday!
