Colored Jean Thing

It's been a little while since  I did a Fashion Friday, so lucky for you, I got some colored skinny jeans!

There's no doubt my favorite color in the world is aqua so when I spotted these pants at Old Navy, I snagged them right up and took them to the dressing room. 

Then it just so happened that this polka dotted ruffled neck tank was on sale for $12.99...

I wore this outfit to work on Monday and then again on Wed night after work for "girls night" because I like to recycle outfits that are cute and comfy (and not dirty).

So there you have it - my first pair of colored skinnies. I have to fold the hem up about 3" because I'm short, but it's not a big deal.

On life: Every time I have a night out with girlfriends that involves chatting and some serious laughs, I remember how important that stuff is for the soul. Sure, it makes the week a little crazier, but it's totally worth it. You've got to nourish your friendships (which in turn nourish you), and I've got to remember that.

On the running front: This week has been nice. I actually took an active "rest" day on Tuesday, which my body really needed after being on the go and receiving some awful news. Wednesday, I did an unintended progression run and my body felt strong. It's amazing how stress relieving a simple 40 min run can be.

Thursday, I opted to do a daily double just because I could. I really enjoy early morning runs (if I can get my butt out of bed), but I also hate to miss the Thursday group workout. Having someone else kick your ass to run fast definitely works!

While I'm enjoying not "having" to run a particular distance, it also makes me anxious not to have some thing on the books to be "training for."

How was your week? Have you busted into the color jean thing? 

I have a busy weekend ahead before I dive right into the whole working + student thing! Hoping to snag a few moments of relaxation with the manfriend on Sunday before the flurry begins.
