I’m usually pretty good on Mondays.

This one, however, is rainy and dreary and I would honestly love to curl back up in bed with the pugs and a few good movies and/or books.

Speaking of pugs, Bentley has to go back to the vet to have the sample taken. This is not necessarily bad news, but it’s not good news either. I’m going to be a wreck all day while we wait for news.

I also strained something on my inner thigh, so I’m not too sure if I should run on it. The rain is making me feel like I should bail even more, but then I think of how silly that is, so I’m getting my socks and shoes together.

I’m chalking today up to “one of those days” and letting it go. I refuse to subject myself to additional stress and the positive is that you can’t have the good days without the bad.

How do you get yourself over a case of the blahs?

    Oh my! Best wishes to the pup!

    Take it from a girl who was out for 9 months from an injury, missing one day is a wonderful idea if it can avoid months of pain and injury! Hope your day turns around 🙂

      I always worry that I’m too much of a sissy when I decide to take a day off. I’m glad I ended up going out, but I think it was more mental than physical.

      We hope everything will be ok, too.

    Bentley is part of the family, and you’re a mum, of course you are going to worry.
    Sometimes you just gotta go out there and do a workout and make those blah yahs. Worked for me.

    Rainy weather totally gives me the blahs – makes me want to lie in bed and watch TV or read.
    Hope your pup is okay.

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!

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
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!

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?!
