Dear Friday, I am so happy you are here. It has been one busy week! I stayed up past my bedtime of 9pm every day this week! That is not good for my mood! Dear sister, I am so happy you are home! Dear workouts this week, you killed me! Track and spin! Ouch! Dear NYC marathon, I know you are busy figuring everything out after you we're cancelled, but I am so anxious! Dear dark skies, go away! I need it to be bright in the evening again! I do not mind going to work in the dark actually! I like running outside but I hate how dark it in in my neighborhood, treadmill runs may be making a comeback and I am not too excited about it! Dear readers, thank you coming back and being so supportive!
This weekend is so busy with running, bachelorette party in rondo, Datz meetup, and 2 doctor appointments!
What are you doing this weekend? Have a great weekend and check out my giveaway and donate to my fundraising page! Http//pages.teamintraining.org/sun/wdw13/ghimelfarb
Happy weekend!!

Foam Roller App
Let me just start out by saying, the Foam Roller App may be the best invention or App ever!
I was given the opportunity to take a peak at this app by Fitfluential. This could not have come at a better time. I am battling and struggling with constant overuse injuries and I am not 100% proactive about it. That is entirely my fault, but I simply forget.
I was able to use this app the last few weeks and it is definitely helping me out!
The app is so detailed. You choose which part of the body you want to roll out and it gives you a list of videos with moves for that designated are.
I took screen shots of the above pictures. You just clock on the area, and you roll away. I have not tried all of them, but I have definitely tried the ones where I hurt.
It is so simple to you, I downloaded the app on my phone, ipad, and computer. I simply put the "electronic device" in front of me and I roll away. I just wish the videos were longer. I wish they were the length that I think I should be rolling, instead they are about 30 seconds (the ones I have viewed). I stop when the video stops, woops. I also love how many ways there are to roll that different body part!
Enough with my rambling, ho out and get yourself this app, I will definitely be purchasing this once my subscription is up!
These views are my own and no one elses. I was given a code to review this application through FitFluential to review, but I am not being paid for my opinion besides being given the product.

Weekly Workout Roundup
I feel like I haven't posted in forever, and well, that can be because the whole getting ready for New York really overwhelmed me. Let's just say, when I left for NY on Thursday night, I was so excited, a ball of nerves, and really any emotion I can muster up. I was getting ready to accomplish my 2012 goal, run the NYC Marathon. On my way back, I was another ball of emotions, the complete opposite. I will get to that post another day, but wanted to reiterate that because when you see my miles, so low, you know it was the week before "THE MARATHON" that never happened.
So, ladies and gents, grab a button and link up!!
Last Sunday, I manages to get 13 amazing miles in but was so sore for the next few days. I think I went out harder than I thought I did for the half marathon. After that, it was rest, rest, rest, NY was less than a week away. That is what I thought about all week; while at work, driving, sleeping, eating, etc. My life revolved around this race.
I didn't get much other exercise in because I wanted my muscles to be nice and fresh for race day.
Wednesday I wanted to get a 2-3 mile run in, but boy was I busy. I didn't settle down till after 9, which is late for me!
Thursday I worked and went straight to the airport. The race was still on.
Friday Morning I woke up and went to the Expo. My family and I walked around and shopped. That counts as exercise right? I thought so. I later walked home from a Team in Training dinner once I heard the Marathon was cancelled, again, more on that in another post.
Saturday, with all the crazy emotions, I had to get out, I had to run. I put on my new orange NYC Marathon shirt and went for a run in central park. I didn't have any idea what I wanted to do. I ran for 4. It was short and sweet, and just as I was headed home, I wanted to keep going. Unfortunately, the family was waiting for me for lunch.
Sunday, back on the airplane.
Now that I do not have a recovery, you should see much higher miles from me as now it is GO time for Disney's Goofy Challenge!
Also, I am headed out tonight for my first track practice in over two years! This should be interesting!
Come link up!!
Also, Check back for a giveaway!!!
Maybe two :)
