weekly recap: 6/8 – 6/14

June 14, 2014      6 Comments

We were on vacation this week. We left on Friday for Walt Disney World to celebrate little man’s last day of Kindergarten, and then I continued on a several-day road trip visiting around with family and friends. I didn’t bring my running gear. I wasn’t super familiar with the areas in which we were staying, and Mr PugRunner wasn’t with us, so I didn’t want little man to be a burden to our gracious hosts if he woke up before I got back.

Instead of training, we were doing things like this

and this

In all fairness, trekking around a huge theme park in mid-90s heat (and accompanying humidity) is a pretty respectable workout in and of itself, so I’m not feeling super guilty.

Sunday – spent the day traveling from a hotel to lunch with one friend and her family to another friend and her family’s house.

Monday – tube surfing at the beach.

Tuesday – local splash park

Wednesday  – local splash park again and back in the car

Thursday –  sucked it up and set the alarm to be up for a 3.49 mile run.

Oh, and then we snuggled my parents’ new kittens.

Friday – despite reallyreallyreally wanting to sleep, set the alarm again for speed work. Six 400m repeats with a .5 mile warm up and a .5 mile cool down.

Saturday –  heading out for a costumed 1 mile fun run. I am debating getting up early to squeeze in a pre-run, but I might just hold off until Sunday. I’m tired. But I am excited about our costumes.

I really missed yoga this week and I’m disappointed that I wasn’t able to fit in at least one class. This week should be interesting as we try to figure out our new summer normal with little man home from school.

How was your week?

How has your summer been treating you?

      I am melting over those kittens. I was never really around kittens that young and I didn’t know how freaking adorable they could be.

      He was having a blast! Mama was a little concerned. We’ve had some incidences of sharks close to shore in our area (of the great white variety), and even though we were a few hours away, it made me nervous.

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?!

We are supposed to see temps in the 90s this weekend and I am 100% not about it!

I won’t be racing this weekend: instead I’ve got some work, some volunteering, and another event on Sunday. Looking forward to all of it!

Are you running long or racing this weekend? Tell me about it!

This Sunday, I hit up the #womenrunjacksonville ev This Sunday, I hit up the #womenrunjacksonville event at the @theglassfactory, presented by @yelpjacksonville and @market.and.mimosas!

Is it possible to be overwhelmed by so much amazing talent, creativity and awesome woman power? 

From the iconic “my phone eats first” tote to the gorgeous party wall lined with craft mimosas, to the silent disco headphones and all the vendors and food/drink samples! Swoon.

I shopped, ate, drank and chatted my way around the venue, and enjoyed every second of it. What a way to celebrate Women’s History Month, and all of the incredible female entrepreneurs, business owners and bosses in Jax and NE Florida!

Five stars. Would do again in a heartbeat!

35 minutes on the elliptical 👿 with a cool down 35 minutes on the elliptical 👿 with a cool down walk in the beautiful sunshine.

I am not a huge fan of gym equipment like the treadmill or the elliptical: I find it boring and often times awkward. That being said, I’m working through a training plan from @runsmartofficial and trusting the process.

Did you get your fitness inside or out today? How do you feel about the elliptical?

Knock knock! Rolling through another Wednesday of Knock knock!

Rolling through another Wednesday of miles! It was not a great run (i got something in my contact and had to go home to flush it out!) but the company stellar as usual (@montarriba) and future me will say thank you for sticking it out.

I’ve got a busy day with some writing, a few emails and a trip to @danielle904beauty so stay tuned for that glow up!

How is your Wednesday? How are you rolling?

Let’s talk about balance. Balance is an area wh Let’s talk about balance.

Balance is an area where I sometimes struggle, physically and emotionally. It can be a challenge to fit in all the things I want and all the things I need. I don’t always love doing the mundane or tedious tasks that ultimately lead to the foundations of the things I am more passionate about.

I am taking a little more time to build on the basics, and find my balance. It’s going to lead to a healthier and happier me.

How do you find your balance? Do you struggle with the basics?

Sometimes, the weather is too beautiful not to run Sometimes, the weather is too beautiful not to run.

I worked through some cardio under the blue skies and in the fresh air and then came home to @runsmartofficial’s base building boot camp. 

There was A LOT of focus on balance and feet and ankles, as well as ground work in the form of different planks and push-ups. 

The movements were small but effective and my legs are certainly burning! It’s going to get harder as we go, but I’m excited to spend more time on my stability and form, to see if it makes me stronger and more efficient over time.

What was on your workout calendar today?
