5 Training Tips For Running Moms

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.

    Jenn, I’ll be here when you’re ready to come back! It’s good for you and your family to have time together and grieve, and we are the least of your worries.

    Hugs from Philly!

    And hey, Santa does all the work for Christmas anyway, right 😉

Welcome to Runs With Pugs. My name is Jenn and this is the story of my love affair with running and finding myself through fitness. From C25K to marathon, from triathlon to SUP, from broken leg to the recovery journey... I'm sharing it all. I'm a wife and mother of one, living in NE Florida, in love with travel, adventure, and food. Oh. We have a grumble of pugs, too. Thank you for joining us! We're glad to have you along for the ride!

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.

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?!
