2013 redux

January 1, 2014      14 Comments

Wow. What a year.

There were ups. Little man graduated from VPK and started Kindergarten. Mr. PugRunner had an amazing year of growth with his business. We discovered (and became hooked on) running. I had my tonsils removed.

There were downs. We lost the best friend known to man. I had my tonsils removed.

We traveled.

We got to spend time visiting family and friends.

Little man lost his first teeth.

I did the impossible and ran 13.1 miles.

All in all, I am grateful for this year. We have our health and so much love and support from so many. It really doesn’t get better than that.

We are having a quiet evening at home. We enjoyed sushi take out and will spend the evening watching The Family, with champagne and slices of red velvet cake from Publix. Tomorrow, Mr PugRunner celebrates his 40th birthday, and we are planning a fun day for him.

It’s nice to lay low and enjoy my little family.

I don’t really believe in making resolutions, but I do have a lot of goals for 2014. They include continuing on our family running journey,  further growing and developing some of my hobbies, and to maybe thinking a little bit more about the possibility of a marathon.

I hope you have a wonderful and amazing 2014, full of happiness and health, love and laughter.

How did 2013 treat you?

What are you most looking forward to in the New Year?

    I’m doing the cliche thing and resolving to be healthier. But instead of trying crash diets this time I am working on the emotions behind my eating first. It’s going to be an interesting journey. Happy new year!

    I know I said this in the comments to my post, but I am so happy to have come across your blog this year. It looks like my plans to run the Moab half in March might no longer happen. If so, I hope to see you at the Gate River Run (by far my favorite race :))

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?!
