weekly recap: 1/4 – 1/10

January 14, 2015      10 Comments

At long last, Marathon Week was here. The last few days separating me from 26.2 miles.

Sunday – rest

I had but one task for the day. Finish up some Baymax cupcakes for a friend’s daughter.

Done and done.

After that, my parents were picking up little man for one last sleepover before school started back up and my only plans involved sitting on the couch. Mr PugRunner thought we could go to a local bar to watch one of the football games, and it was nice to get out for a bit.

 

Monday – 3.1 miles

The weather was lovely, so I thought it would be wise to go for a little run. Just to get things going.

This was also the first half of my Best Damn Race 10K virtual run. I would have liked to do it all at once, but things just didn’t work out that way.

 

Tuesday – rest

Little man started back to school, so it was time to start getting the house organized and semi back to normal from Christmas and the new year. So fun.

 

Wednesday – 3.1 miles

I had to get in one last run before the marathon and to complete my virtual 10K.

The weather was decent and wouldn’t be for the rest of the week, so it had to get done. I also wanted to test out my new Sparkle Athletic visor to make sure it would pass muster for Sunday.

Thursday – rest

It was good to volunteer at school and spend some time with friends. I had a lot on my mind and a distraction was nice. Our cold front had arrived and I was really hopeful that it would keep the weather reasonable on Sunday, instead of in the 80s as was being predicted.

 

Friday – rest

Mr PugRunner and I packed and cleaned up the house. When little man’s school day ended, we headed to his grandparents’ and enjoyed dinner at a hibachi restaurant. I was kind of craving the salt, and there’s really nothing better than shrimp, fried rice and veggies cooked on that flat top. Carb loading at its finest.

 

Saturday – rest

We left early in the morning so that we could get to the expo and settle in. I was hopeful that I could get my packet and settle in for a good night’s sleep before the challenge to come.

 

I am sorting through photos and thoughts and feelings, so my recaps will be coming shortly.  In the meantime…

It’s time for ZOOMA Florida! I’m so thrilled that it’s not going to be in the 30s at the start line and that I will be spending time with my mom and some really fabulous runners at the Ritz Carlton Amelia Island. It will be just the thing to get me going.

There’s still time to enter our Spartan Race giveaway! Check it out here.

I am also pretty excited for the opportunity to work with Project Repat for a blanket made of some of our race shirts. We have collected quite a few and don’t wear all of them, so the idea of having someone stitch some of our memories together into a usable household item is pretty exciting. Here’s some more information and I can’t wait to share the finished product with you!

 

And there we have it! Next week, we’ll be ready for a bit of a breather and a new training cycle! I can’t wait!

What do you do with your old race shirts?

Do you always “test-drive” new apparel before race day or do you wing it?

    That visor is so perfect for Disney! LOVE IT!
    I’ve been wanting to do a blanket from Project Repat for awhile. I’ve just been too lazy to get around to it. Can’t wait to see how yours turns out!
    I also can’t wait for the marathon recap!

      I’m super excited about it. Mr PugRunner just tried to donate a bunch of race shirts that he doesn’t wear, and I snagged them in the hopes of making a blanket. Perfect timing, no?

      I was really happy with how they came out.

      Some of the shirts just don’t fit well, but they are memories and I can’t bear getting rid of them.

    I have tired to make a t-shirt quilt, but it only works if they are all the same size. Yeah I tried to do it with baby shirts so doesn’t work.
    Those cupcakes look yum, wish I could have one.
    come on recap 🙂

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.

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?!
