what’s running through my mind?

|week 9| marching on + back to nature

five february runfessions

thank you

December 12, 2013      5 Comments

I have taken a little time off from this blog. From everything, really. I needed some time inside my own head, and I didn’t want to write just to have content.

I’m not 100% better, but I’m ok. I have used the last week to try to get myself together and I think I managed alright. There is definitely something out of balance in our home, and it’s been hard to work around that, but little man deserves a wonderful holiday season, and nit’s our job to provide that for him.

However, I want to say thank you to all of you who sent love and good thoughts and prayers here and elsewhere in social media. Thank you for sympathizing. Thank you for sharing your stories of loss. Thank you for sending along words meant to bring peace and healing. I cannot ever fully express what that means to me and my family. You brought such comfort in such a hard time, and you can never know how much that has meant to us.

I’ll be back to writing in the next day or so (and I will be back to reading all of you, t00). I have restarted my training (on which I have been slacking horribly) and I am excited for my second half marathon in just a few weeks.

In the meantime, it seems like Christmas is right around the corner, and I am so not ready. If you celebrate do you feel the same?

    Hugs to you…. :/

    I’m not ready either. I’m ready for the break from work, but not for the actual day. I haven’t bought a single present for anyone. Fail.

Every month this year, I’ve been committing to s Every month this year, I’ve been committing to some kind of wellness challenge. 

January ➡️ planks
February ➡️ balance

Lately, I’ve had the urge to get back in a gym. Kickboxing is out for right now but I think I could take on boot camp or spin. 

Then I felt a little guilty about spending the money when I have some weights and bands at home, our neighborhood has a gym, and I have a surgical procedure on the horizon (boo, wisdom teeth), so I thought I would work my way up to group classes by starting at home.

Day 1 done! ✅ with an assist from @sweetlunapug!

What’s your favorite strength workout?

The @freskincare DETOX ME post-sweat mask is a great way to combat the sun and humidity. And the cold and wind. And central heat and air conditioning. And everything in between! With ingredients like Kaolin Clay to draw out impurities and absorb excess oil and Blue Azulene to reduce inflammation and soothe damaged and stressed skin, I know my skin can be both protected and restored post-run. 

I apply the DETOX ME mask after my runs, and let the natural ingredients do their work to detox, exfoliate, and purify. I leave the shower feeling refreshed, glowing, and ready to face my next adventure!

Order today at https://www.freskincare.com/JENNL for 40% off DETOX ME and THE DETOX SET + take an additional 10% OFF with code JENNL at checkout!
