weekly recap: 11/1 – 11/8

November 11, 2014      8 Comments

Sunday – rest

I planned on really chilling out on Sunday. The only thing I had to do was to take family photos for a friend, and go to the grocery store. It was FREEZING out, but the kids were really good sports about it. It was nice to just go home, put on comfy clothes and hang with Mr PugRunner and little man for the rest of the day. Confession. The heat was on. Very much on.

 

Monday – rest

Mr PugRunner wanted to get back out there, so I decided to hold off my run until Tuesday. It was pretty nice to have absolutely nothing to do, until little man got home. He had a makeup baseball game, so when he walked in the door, we got him into his uniform and headed over to the fields. It was a late night, and we were all super grateful to get warm showers and tumble into bed when we got home.

 

Tuesday – 3.1 miles

Happy anniversary to us! Mr PugRunner and I celebrated eight years of marriage! I went out for a run, and he picked me up a bagel and iced coffee when I was finished. He also got me one of Dunkin Donuts’ new cornets (half croissant, half donut). Nom.

My run was epic. From the glorious sunrise,

to this image popping up on my Garmin at the end

everything was just wonderful.

Yay for records!

After little man got home from school, Mr PugRunner and I got ready for a night out. We went to a wine and tapas restaurant and enjoyed some small plates and appetizers, while little man hung out with one of his favorite babysitters. We didn’t stay out super late, but it was a nice night.

 

Wednesday – rest

Little man has been on a bit of a rock hunting kick. He had asked me several times about going to the beach after school to look for  rocks and shells. It was on the tip of my tongue to say no, but then I reconsidered. Little man has a pretty busy schedule. With school, baseball and karate, there is a lot of structured activity. His homework was done, and there really was no reason not to go. I called my parents to ask if they wanted to join (my mom loves shell collecting) and after school, we all headed off to the beach.

It was a glorious day and we all had fun walking up and down the beach. Little man didn’t find the quartz he has been hunting, but he ended up with a  huge bag of treasures. Mr PugRunner met us later for dinner at a delicious BBQ place, and I think we all agreed that it was wonderful day.

 

Thursday – 3.1 miles

This was going to be my last chance to run for the week. I had a cake order due for Sunday, Mr PugRunner was planning a long run for Saturday, little man had a baseball game and we had family photos. I decided to make it count.

Yes. That’s right. That’s another PR. Boom.

 

Friday – rest

I spent most of the day baking cakes.

 

Saturday – rest

Whirlwind day. Mr PugRunner rocked 11.5 miles. We went to little man’s baseball game (a close one), then we grabbed a quick lunch and headed home to shower and change for our family photo session with our friend. I’m so excited to see them.

 

Two PRs in one week is pretty exciting for me. Each run gets a little easier and I am stunned that my body is moving faster than I thought it could or would. Also encouraging is that my recovery times are seeming shorter and I’m not experiencing much discomfort or fatigue.

This week, I’m looking forward to a long run and some other great stuff. Holiday preparations are starting to get under way, and I am ready to go!

How was your week in workouts?

What is something you accomplished lately that makes you especially proud?

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!

#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?!
