weekly recap 9/1-9/6

September 6, 2013      26 Comments

All I can say is that I am thrilled with this week. I’m so proud of the miles I’ve put in, and I’m also feeling extremely pleased with my decision to focus on toning my inner thighs. Since the gym is on hold for a few more months, I feel confident about pulling in some hand weights to work on my arms and legs a little.

Here’s the week:

Sunday: 7.70 mile run

Monday: 1 mile fun run/walk at RunJax 35th Anniversary race

Tuesday: 3.41 mile run; biceps, triceps, inner thighs

Wednesday: 3.67 mile run; biceps, triceps, inner thighs

Thursday: biceps, triceps, inner thighs

Friday: 8.61 mile run

Normally I wouldn’t have my two long runs so close together, but unfortunately, I had to work around a tricky schedule this week, and so this is how it played out.

I’m not complaining.

I would love to be a little closer to that 12:00 mark, but it will come in time. I don’t know that I will have it in time for Tower of Terror, but that’s ok. I’m still putting in a respectable effort, and I want to enjoy the race as much as I want to run it with a solid time.

I’ve really been enjoying my early mornings, too. On the one hand, I am usually treated to the most stunning sunrises.

And on the other, I really appreciate the quiet time. I am looking forward to the time change so that it will be a little lighter in the mornings (running under the streetlights can be a little ominous sometimes), but I’m having a good time.

It’s a big weekend for this household. I started off Friday by representing the Miami Hurricanes with an orange tank and a sparkly green Sweaty Band, and I’ll be wearing those colors throughout the weekend.

How was your week in workouts?

Are you cheering on the Hurricanes with me this weekend?

      So excited to hear how the last tri goes!

      Don’t get me wrong. There’s no washboard stomach going on over here, but I’m ok with that. But we all have our annoying problem spots. 🙂

      Best of luck with your marathon training! It’s so exciting! I have been telling myself that there is no way I would ever do it, but then I think maybe, just maybe, I could! I can’t wait to follow along on your journey!

      <3 I hope so. I worry that maybe I'm just not made to run, but then I remember that I am comparing myself to people who have been at this for far longer, so I have to check myself.

    After a great run on Monday….the rest of the week has sucked it up.. I’ve been fighting off the flu all week. Running a fever and some aches, not horrible, but enough to keep me from running. I am planning on doing 9 miles in the morning though. Saturdays are group training days and I hate to miss! Not sure about doing long runs without someone else with me! You are doing awesome at them!
    Love your pace….we could run together! Although I live in Husker Nation. 🙂

      Mr PugRunner is talking about heading out to Husker nation next year for a Hurricanes game! I don’t know if I’ll be joining him but it would be cool to get out there!

    My weekend of workouts was great! I felt weird not having a double workout day on Monday (gym classes were cancelled because of the holiday), but other than that, the workouts were great (so far). I still have a speed session tomorrow to do.

Drinking in that sunshine for sure! It was a bea Drinking in that sunshine for sure! 

It was a beautiful morning that turned quickly into a beautiful day. Sundays are hard because they are immediately  followed by Mondays, and Mondays are hard.

Lots to catch up on this week! April is chock full of holidays, birthdays, days off, and events, so let’s get to it!

About this morning… I was up and out early to d About this morning…

I was up and out early to drive to Flagler Beach for the #Missionpossible5k.

It was a small, well organized event, with an easy-to-follow course (the last mile was almost exclusively an ocean view), with great shirts and swag.

I was really pleased with my performance, and even more pleased with this beach sunrise. I’ll share more on the #RunnersRundown on Wednesday, so stay tuned!

Where did you run or race this weekend?

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it. So goo Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it.

So good to stretch the legs today. I was super sore after a @runsmartofficial cross training session last night, and needed to just get out there and let the fresh air work its magic.

What are you up to today? I really need to take a moment with my calendar and get some plans locked into place.

Check out those blue skies! I got to sleep in AND Check out those blue skies!

I got to sleep in AND take advantage of some cooler temps. It really didn’t warm up until my last mile and that was just fine.

I feel like this month and next are really just flying by. So much is going on, and I want so badly to enjoy it all, including the crisp, sunny days where we find them!

Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and some balance and strength work through @runsmartofficial.

Happy Monday! I don’t know about you all, but y Happy Monday!

I don’t know about you all, but your girl is TIRED. It is so hard to roll out of bed some mornings. Ugh. 

I managed (finally) and banked six miles in some gross humidity. And now it’s time for some self care and then back to work.

Also. We have somehow acquired a pecan tree? Any tips on the growth and care of this would be greatly appreciated!

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Sunday fun day! Just a short walk to start the da Sunday fun day!

Just a short walk to start the day and work out some stiffness. Some days, my ankle just doesn’t want to cooperate 🫤

I have been making graphics and content all day for a client, and now I’m about to do hair and makeup for a little event. Wheee! 

This week is going to be BUSY! There’s a lot of changes to the regular routines (nails, a digital learning day, after school and weekend programming) and I have a race on Saturday and bocce ball on Sunday! 

Who else is ready to dive in?!
