Fitness Friday: Half Way Through August

We are just over the half way point of August and things are going pretty well with my fitness goals.  I got a little hung up this week due to our hike last Saturday.  I ended up really straining my calf muscle which resulted in not being able to do my planned four mile run on Sunday and put  me out of commission for running most of this week.  That being said no more hiking until next summer since my half training official beings in 11 days.

Below is my workouts in August up until yesterday; still to come this week are yoga, 3-4 mile run and possible a swim and/or pilates.

What do you do to stay fit?
