Beach Walks & Froyo

These last few days have been happily spent resting and relaxing after finishing some intense finals. I can’t even begin to describe how nice it is to have a break and be back at home! 

I’ve been catching up with a few of my favorite things, including cooking/baking, exercising, netflix-ing (yes, that’s a verb), and, of course, blogging. 

Today, Kyle and I went on a semi-active date and went walking by the beach. It was a wonderful way to spend time together and also stretch out our legs! I did a leg workout today and I’m, to say the least, feeling a little stiff. 

Walking Date with Kyle

Our first stop was by Yogurtland to get a much-needed froyo fix! I underestimated how much room was in the bowl and didn’t leave nearly enough room for toppings. Womp womp womp.

After filling our bellies with the good stuff, we headed out for our walk! It was a bit cloudy and very, very windy, but we still had a great time chatting and enjoying the view.

I’m a sucker for anything lace and love how flattering the cut is and how it cinches at the top of the torso. For those of you who were wondering, I got this dress at H&M for a steal! They have a ton of great holiday dresses and I’m excited to get the chance to wear the other two I got.

*Hint hint: Kyle, take me out on a date ;).

Just a hapa girlHope the week it passing quickly for you! I can’t believe how soon Christmas will be here and really need to catch up on my Christmas shopping- yikes!

Drowning in Sweat

Today started off with an early morning run. I wasn’t too much in the mood to go out and almost justified not working out since I have a big paper due tomorrow, but I haven’t moved in the last couple of days and I knew I would feel better after. And, as always, I didn’t regret lacing up my running shoes :).

Even though I was out decently early, it was HOT HOT HOT and I thought I was going to die for a good portion of my loop. I’m still happy with my times, though, and am looking forward to going on some cooler night runs this weekend. Hopefully I won’t drown in my own sweat like I did today 😉

I’m loving the Run Keeper app. It does such an awesome job with accurately tracking my runs and I’m a sucker for the stats it shows me. Oh, and it sends me the BEST emails after every jog I go on.

Too cute!

Too cute!

After my run I worked on my essay before eating a pretty standard breakfast with Kyle. Nothing like a PB and J banana.

Then it was back to work until I had to leave to go to class. I love the weather now (as long as I’m not running!)

Sunny day1

I didn’t shower after running ;). Shhh.

I also had an exciting moment where I checked my Pinterest and saw that someone had repinned one of my workouts! It’s the little things, right?

The plan for the rest of the day is to finish writing a copiously long history paper and then grab some dinner with the boy friend. I can’t wait to get that bugger done!

Have a great day!

xoxo Christine
