I love summer. I love to travel, visit friends, go to the beach, and lay by the pool.

Happy Friday!
I'm sure many of you decided to take the whole week off for the 4th of July (smart people), but I unfortunately decided to work this Friday. Dumb idea. Staycation 2012 is officially over.

I'm so excited, I made a major step in my triathlon goal and bought a bike! But first, let's keep things sequential and start with my workout of the day.
Work it Out
I woke up this morning and headed to the gym right away to squeeze a workout in. It was another beautiful day and I wanted to go outlet shopping with friends and make the most of it. I started with 30 minutes of cardio on the bike, then went to my new favorite spot (an empty yoga studio) to get a strength workout in.
