Fun Facts Friday - Friendship

Today I hit the gym for upper body. Nothing terribly exciting. So rather than list out my workout for the day, I thought I'd jump right on into Fun Facts Friday.

I know I've talked about it before, but friendships are so incredibly important. And it's not how many friends you have that matter either, it's the quality of the friendship. And as hard as it may be to realize, not all friendships are meant to last, but some withstand the tests of time.
You meet friends in so many different ways as well. Sometimes, if you're lucky, it's your sister or brother. Some you meet the first day of pre-school or kindergarten. Maybe you meet in college. Sometimes it's a totally random meeting. And you can even find the best of friends through blogging. They don't all have to be IRL (in real life) to be special.


I am blessed to have my sister as my best friend. Not everyone is close to their siblings, I realize. I really cannot imagine having grown up without her.

And this guy, I am lucky that I met him by random chance. He's not only my husband, but my best friend and my soulmate. Pretty certain no one else would ever put up with me ;-)

I feel truly honored to have known this beautiful lady for about 33 years now. She's one of those beautiful souls that make the world a better place for just being around. And, she gives the best hugs ever.

Family members can make pretty darn good friends too. My cousin and I are only 7 months apart in age, so we basically grew up together. He's more of a brother to me than a cousin. Now if only he lived closer!

And it's truly wonderful when you meet an amazing couple that you and your husband both like. We met these fantastic friends by chance...well, sort of, lots of mutual friends. But we ended up being great friends. We pretty much hang out at least once with each other every weekend.

And then there are those blogger friends that become IRL friends. Again, so very honored to know this beautiful lady and receive her friendship and support. Now I just need a new picture with her sis too!

And then there are those friends we lose. Sometimes the friendships simply end, sometimes they are taken from this life too soon. But they are always with you either in your heart or in wonderful memories.

What are your thoughts on friends? To me, they are like family. Do you have friends you've known your whole life? How did you meet your best friend?

Daily To-Enjoy List:

I Run to Feel Alive

Today is National Running Day . Guess what I did this morning? Cycling? Nope. Lifting? Nope. I bet you thought kickboxing right? Nope. Running? But of course! I actually sort of planned my running days this week just so I could participate this year. I didn't get to run last year and didn't even know about it the year before. But running has become such an integral part of my life and who I am, that I couldn't miss this year. Basically, I run to feel alive . It calms me, it helps me work through life, it's often a reason to get out of bed. No matter how tough a run is, it makes you feel ... period. My plan was to get in 5 miles (got in 5.5 actually). It was about 10 degrees warmer this morning and definitely more humid. That always makes for a tougher run. We decided to take a different route today. Well, it was really only a few streets over different, but still. The point is we took a different street. Sometimes that's good, sometimes not. I did realize th...

KIND Bar Review + Apple Raisin Wheat Berry Salad

Weights & Step As much as I wanted to run today, I knew there was no getting up early enough to do so. Monday's are hard enough without getting up at 5 am to run. Yawn ... So, today I did my weights at lunch then cardio after work. Weights were pull muscles (biceps and back). I did 3 sets of 8 reps of the following: Biceps : Alternating curls Cross-body curls Zottoman curls Back: Single-arm horizontal row Underhand DB rows Double arm rows It was a pretty good workout. I felt pretty strong today for some reason. Love it when that happens. My legs were pretty sore from yesterday's workout, so I opted for a lower intensity cardio: Cathe's Low Impact Circuit - Cardio Only Premix plus abs. It was a great workout and helped to loosen up my legs. KIND Review I have been very remiss with my review of the KIND bars that I won from Jill @ My So Called Health LIfe . I won the Nut Delight. I don't know why, but I expected it to be a tad softer...
