weekly wrap: 9.11 – 9.15 + rock ‘n’ roll philadelphia half marathon

September 20, 2016      4 Comments

I didn’t get a chance to post this on Monday, due to some delayed travel, but I’m back in town, and that means it’s time for the Weekly Wrap with HoHo Runs and MissSippi Piddlin!

WeeklyWrap

If you do a weekly recap post, this is a great way to check in with other active bloggers for extra support, sharing and accountability!

Sunday – rest

This was our family day. We took Nana and Papa Bear out to brunch to celebrate Grandparents’ Day and then they came back to our house for the official opening of football season.

Mr PugRunner did another run with the Big Green Egg and made pretty delicious burgers for us to enjoy with all the games.

Monday – 5 miles running; body circuit, 60 minutes

I had a beautiful sunrise run.

Once again, I slowed way down and skipped my intervals altogether. It felt really great to know that I could run five miles without stopping, and I was pretty proud of myself. I’m not sure what I’m going to DO with that knowledge (continue from this point, return to intervals, etc), but at least I know I have the capability.

I followed the run with a nice Body Circuit session. Some of the moves were pretty tricky on tired legs, but I powered through, anyway.

Tuesday – rest

I was up bright and early for a work meeting, and felt like I spent the rest of the day in the car. It made the day pass pretty quickly, so I didn’t mind too much.

After I got little man settled with his homework, I headed out to do a little babysitting so my friends could attend an informational session at our school.

Wednesday – 4 miles running; spin, 60 minutes

I did four miles of straight running,

and then followed it up with a spin session.

When I got home, there was a pretty cool announcement waiting for me: Best Damn Race would be coming to New Orleans in 2017! So cool!

Be prepared for the Registration Blitz on Friday, September 23 – registrations for the Half and the 5K will start at $1!

We also got a little bit of mail! Travel documents for our anniversary trip! I’m so excited!

Thursday – rest

I thought about going to spin and possibly Body Recon, but I had a lot of errands to run and I knew we were going to be doing a lot of walking and sightseeing in Philadelphia this weekend, so I let it go.

Instead, I picked up some more last minute items for the trip, met my parents for lunch, and got home in time to finish packing.

That evening, my friend returned the babysitting favor so Mr PugRunner and I could go to little man’s Curriculum Night. While we know his teacher, it was a chance to hear from the whole third grade staff as to what the year is going to hold, and then visit the classroom to get a feel for how the students’ day to day academics are going. We were very pleased with everything we saw and heard, and we know it’s going to be a great year.

Friday – 3 miles running; 18,702 steps

I decided to go for one little shake out run before my flight so I wouldn’t have to bring extra shoes and gear to Philly with me.

We dropped little man at school, grabbed a bagel for the road and then made our way to the airport. I found a great deal on a smaller airline from a less popular (but closer) airport, and figured we would give it a try.

Everything went really smoothly and by 10:30, I was in Philadelphia!

My friend, S, picked me up at the airport and we hit the town! I’ll share more details with my race recap this week.

(So I don’t usually count my steps, and the only activity tracker I own is the one in my iPhone, but we did a serious bit of walking this weekend. I figured it was worth noting.)

Saturday – 17,077 steps

We got a good night’s sleep and then headed back out for more tourism! Again, we walked a ton. We also visited the Rock ‘n’ Roll Philadelphia Half Marathon Expo to pick up our packets and do a little shopping.

We tried to make it an early night, but I think we were both pretty excited, and couldn’t wait for the race!

 

It was a great week on all fronts. I love traveling, and it’s even better when I get to go somewhere new. The anticipation leading up to this past weekend was fantastic and I am so excited to share all about the race and the weekend with you!

That said I am looking forward to a few days off and getting some rest!

How was your week in training?

Do you enjoy traveling to new cities?

    We’ve been on one Sandals trip (Jamaica). It was fantastic. They really know how to spoil you! I hope you had a great time in Philly. And congrats on the non-stop miles. That’s a huge milestone. Thanks for linking, Jenn!

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?!
