friday five: five good things

April 4, 2015      15 Comments

Actually, it’s kind of like the Lego Movie. It’s Friday Five! But on a Saturday!

Another Friday! And that means we are linking up for the Friday Five, with three amazing DC area bloggers: Mary at Mar On the Run, Cynthia at You Signed Up For What?! and Courtney from Eat Pray Run, DC.  Feel free to join the fun with your own Friday Five post and be sure to visit and comment on the other blogs on the linkup!

Our topic for this week is Five Good Things.

1. This guy.

Even though he’s a Jets fan, I’m darn grateful to have met him all those years ago at the bar at Bru’s. I know I totally get on his nerves (a lot), but we make a pretty good team and there’s no one with whom I would rather be on this journey of life.

2. This guy.

There are no words for how much I love him. He hung the stars in my sky. I can’t remember my world before him.

3. These guys.

I absolutely adore animals, especially ones with smushy faces. If we could, I would have an entire ranch of pugs and bullies and boxers and bostons. We are hopeful to add to our family of bagel-tailed cuties sometime this summer. Fingers crossed.

4. Friends and family.

Obviously, not all pictured.

We are so fortunate to be surrounded by so much love and support, every day.

5. Our life.

I know it sounds hokey, but it’s true. I wouldn’t trade our life for anything. It’s not perfect, but it’s ours.

 

Tell me five good things this weekend. Share in the comments or create your own blog post. Please sure to join in the linkup!

    Awww this is the sweetest!

    I actually like number 5 the most only because how often do we truly step back and appreciate how good things are at the end of the day?

      I hate to be cheesy, but … I think so many times we do tend to focus on the negatives and what we don’t have. And I’m grateful, every day, for what we do.

    Being a major family person myself, I love that your good things were all about your family! My sons and daughter-in-law were here for Easter dinner, and I can’t tell you how much fun we have when we all get together!

    You definitely have a lot of things to be thankful for! My list would be really similar to yours except subtract 1 dog and add 1 kid. LOL

It’s been a crazy week. A had lots of big papers and exams, Mr PugRunner is in the process of launching another incredible business venture, I learned how to administer an epi pen, and currently A is out on his “ordeal” (he was nominated for Order of the Arrow, in recognition of Scouts and Scouters who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives.)

Grateful for running to help settle my nerves, keep me balanced, and serve as a reward for a full and productive week!

What does running provide for you?

Took the miles on the road today. We had a family Took the miles on the road today. We had a family field trip to check out some gorgeous street art and murals. It was good to unplug and discover some of these stunning works of art. 

Plus, we all got some fresh air and exercise and A allowed me to snap this moody photo. Everyone wins!

Today was one of those days. Everything just worked right (even coming off a migraine). 

Days like this are always a treasure.

I hope your run brings you joy today ❤️

Every month this year, I’ve been committing to s Every month this year, I’ve been committing to some kind of wellness challenge. 

January ➡️ planks
February ➡️ balance

Lately, I’ve had the urge to get back in a gym. Kickboxing is out for right now but I think I could take on boot camp or spin. 

Then I felt a little guilty about spending the money when I have some weights and bands at home, our neighborhood has a gym, and I have a surgical procedure on the horizon (boo, wisdom teeth), so I thought I would work my way up to group classes by starting at home.

Day 1 done! ✅ with an assist from @sweetlunapug!

What’s your favorite strength workout?

All action for today’s 10 miles! It was hot and my ankle was a little cranky, but thanks to a change in route and some awesome pacing from @montarriba, it got done!

What magic are you making today?
