The above pics were snapped after Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday's workouts. I did workout on Monday (I swear!) but forgot to take my daily selfie after I finished! I was super bummed, since I haven't forgotten one yet and having the "proof" of my workout is a little extra motivation for me to get moving. As you can see, I actually almost forgot again on Tuesday. Oops!
Band camp is going really well, and flying by! I have never been a counselor before, but I'm learning quickly and my "stern teacher voice" is developing just fine, according to my fellow counselors. :-) The girls on my floor are great, and uber talented! We had a camper talent show last night, and I was so amazed at the varied and incredible skills our campers have! I am LOVING being a counselor, and am sad that I'm only here for one of the three weeks of camp since I was a last-minute add on the counseling staff. Hopefully they'll invite me back next year...
This past week, I have really been hitting the pavement on my workouts! I have logged more than 23 miles in the last 10 days, and running is getting easier. However, my body is NOT used to it, so I'm developing some nasty and painful blisters. No pain, no gain, right?

I'm due back at the gym today for some lifting -- and I think my feet need a break from running anyway. Happy Friday, everyone!
