weekly recap: 2/1 – 2/7

February 9, 2015      8 Comments

Second month of the year and we are cruising along quite nicely.

Sunday – rest

Our friends spent the night and hung out with us through breakfast. After they left, we joined my parents at a delicious, local Spanish restaurant to celebrate Papa Bear’s birthday. We enjoyed sangria, Cuban bread, paella and all kinds of yumminess.

And then it was off to a Superbowl party! Even though it was a little on the chilly side, it was great to watch the game outside around a roaring fire.

Monday – rest

School was closed on Monday, and so we were trying to come up with something fun to do after my boot camp. Unfortunately, the weekend of late nights, hard playing and general craziness had caught up to little man. For about eight hours, he was a lethargic, miserable bunny rabbit. He napped for half that time and woke up, ravenous and pretty much back to himself. It was the craziest thing, but I spent the entire day with him in bed, watching movies when he felt like it, making sure he was drinking fluids and trying to keep him as comfortable as possible.

We were so glad it wasn’t anything serious, but man, it is rough when the little ones don’t feel well.

Tuesday – 3.1 miles

We decided it would be a good idea to keep little man home again, although he was far less cooperative about taking it easy and lounging around than he had been on Monday. He did rest long enough for me to take a run, though, which was nice.

Fortunately Nana and Papa Bear paid a visit in the afternoon to help break things up. They brought all kinds of goodies, including The Boxtrolls on DVD and some Pokemon cards, and the whole visit brightened our day immensely.

Wednesday – arms

Back to school! Little man to class and me to a PTA meeting. We are working on some great events, so it’s always fun to help put them together.

In the afternoon, I did some arm work with 8lb dumbbells.

Thursday – 3.1 miles

I had to help out at school in the morning, and then pick up some last minute things at the store.

It was one of those days when I absolutely needed to run. I typically don’t like going out in the afternoon

but I am so glad I did.

PR! I only have to shave off another 2:54 seconds in the next eight months. I’m calling it progress.

After the stress of the week, Mr PugRunner took us out for a sushi dinner. It was just what we needed and I was very grateful for the breather.

Friday – arms

For real, I was going to work out, but I figured that a long day of icing layers of cake and rolling out fondant was just as much exercise as lifting weights. I really can justify anything, if I try hard enough.

I also got a very special package in the mail!

Our race shirt blanket, courtesy of Project Repat! I cannot wait to share more details with you this week.

Saturday – rest

Mr PugRunner took little man to karate and breakfast in the morning and baseball in the afternoon so that I had time to finish up the cake. It had to be delivered right near my parent’s house, so I planned to visit over there and then we would all meet up for dinner.

Success!

I turned in early, ready to get a jump on a new week.

Have you ever had a “needed” run turn into one of your best ones ever?

How was your week in training?

    Glad little man is feeling better! You’re definitely making great progress with your time, and THAT CAKE! I bet it was as tasty as it looks too! Mmm cake.
    My training has not yet started. The treadmill arrived (they left it in the middle of the driveway!) but the mat for it to sit on is first coming today. I have antique wood floors, so needed to wait for that before taking it out of the box. But soon, I will be back at it! I actually am looking forward to it. I think…

      In the age old battle of treadmill vs. wood floors, the floors win. Every. Time.

      LOL! You’ve got this! And spring is coming, too!

    Oh man I love the runs that turn out AWESOME. Unfortunately I didn’t do anything this past week. I’ve been nursing a mysteriously sore foot. Gonna try my regular yoga class tonight before I commit to runs or HIIT workouts.

      Oh, no! I hope everything is ok! I hate when those bizarre pains turn up. I hope yoga goes well for you and you can get back out there!

    I am so sorry the little one wasn’t feeling well, that’s just no good!

    I just love those runs where you don’t really want to do it, but at the same time you are compelled to do so. They always give you so much satisfaction!

    I have that same blue singlet in three colors, it is so light I absolutely love it!

    And that cake… Amazing!

      Fortunately, it was short-lived and he is back to 100%!

      It’s one of my favorite running tops!

      I love this Garmin, too!

      Today was long sleeves. We go back and forth with the weather. Today is almost 70 and later in the week, it will be back in the 30s at night. Sigh.

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?!
