weekly recap: 9/7-9/14

September 14, 2013      10 Comments

This wasn’t an earth-shattering week. Well, except for that 10 miler on Friday. That was pretty epic.

I’ve been pretty busy with carpooling and volunteering and it’s been challenging getting into my back-to-school groove. I think I’ve got it, though.

Sunday: rest

Monday: 3.22 miles; biceps, triceps, inner thighs

Tuesday: biceps, triceps, inner thighs

Wednesday: 2.58 mile run; biceps, triceps, inner thighs – I overslept and had to be home by 7:00 AM. This is as much as I could get in.

Thursday: I was feeling a bit lazy. Let’s call this a rest day.

Friday: 10.10 mile run. Holy moly, spicy guacamole! I did it!

Saturday: I had every intention of doing 3-4 miles today, but my knees were still a little sore. I decided to give myself a break, and stick to biceps, triceps and inner thighs.

This week, I plan to continue in a similar vein, and my goal is to hit 10.5-11 miles on my next long run. And then I think it will be time to start tapering in advance of the big day.

My countdowns are as follows:

19 days til Tower of Terror 10-Miler.

77 days til Space Coast Half Marathon.

125 days til ZOOMA Florida Half Marathon.

I have a Color Me Rad 5K in there, and I am looking at a local 10K in November to help fill in the holes.

Any advice for me for the next 19 days? 

How does your race schedule look through the end of 2013?

      Thank you! I hope it’s a great race. I have heard so many mixed reviews, and I don’t want it to be dull or to be mad that I didn’t do a different event. I am planning on one runDisney race a year. They are super pricey and fortunately, I live in an area that offers tons of incredible races, so I hope I can stick to that plan. Or close to it. I started planning out races through 2015 and Mr PugRunner looked at me like I was insane. LOL!

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?

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.

Tomorrow will be cooler and more productive for sure!

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?!
