weekly wrap: 7.2.17 – 7.8.17

July 11, 2017      1 Comment

Happy Monday!  It’s time for the Weekly Wrap with HoHo Runs and MissSippi Piddlin!

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!

This was a good week. I only had one morning of work, and there was plenty of time to hang out and enjoy the holiday and be at home with everyone. Bliss.

Sunday – rest

We went to a friend’s house on Sunday for lunch and pool time. We even got to bring Delilah to meet a French bulldog! Big D wasn’t all that impressed with the younger pup’s playfulness. She’s obviously too cool for all that.

She also went for her first swim.

Judging by her reaction, it will probably be her last.

There was plenty of food and drinks and good conversation. We definitely have to do it again soon.

Monday – rest

I had a work day on Monday, and it was a pretty hectic one. I like keeping occupied – it makes the time fly, and before I knew it, I was on my way home.

Our area puts on a really nice fireworks display about five miles from my house. We had talked about riding our bikes there, but little man wanted to bring chairs and whatnot, so we ended up driving.

We normally get there early, set up a spot with our chairs, get dinner at the restaurant, hang out and watch the fireworks, and then grab dessert at the same restaurant until the traffic clears out. It’s been our tradition pretty much since we moved here, and it’s a lot of fun.

The weather was actually really pretty for the fireworks show and we bumped into tons of friends and loved every second of it.

Tuesday – Celebration 5K

Of course, after a midnight bedtime, it was tough waking up for a 7:30 AM race start. I think it’s really thrown me off early mornings all week to be honest.

However, I did make it to the Celebration 5K with plenty of time, and actually, with S pushing me, scored my fastest 5K time this year! Not that it was incredibly amazing, but it was nice to feel like some progress has been made.

When I got home, Mr PugRunner and I worked on tidying up a bit, and prepping for the evening’s celebration. We were having a bit of a culdesac party for the neighbors and the kids.

Everyone grilled and brought drinks and the kids had water balloons and sparklers. It was a fabulous night.

 

Wednesday – rest

It was nice to not work on Wednesday. Little man and I slept in a bit, and I decided to take him to see Despicable Me 3. We really love the movies, especially on a too-hot afternoon, and it was the perfect way to spend some time together and beat the heat. The movie wasn’t my favorite, but we enjoyed.

Thursday – 3 miles, running

I just couldn’t get moving that morning (a theme for the week), so my run was late and it was brutally hot. Boo.

Terrifyingly, when I got home, there was a post on my community Facebook page regarding a sinkhole on the route I run. The barricades were down and I didn’t see any damage to the sidewalk, so I had gone right over the affected area! Twice! The person who lives in the house on that corner reported the hole was still very active and very dangerous, and more techs would be out to re-barricade. Holy you-know-what! I am so scared of sinkholes, and very grateful that I wasn’t swallowed up by one.

On the plus side, I did get a fun gift from Eagle Creek, thanks to my affiliation with Rock ‘n’ Blog: a brand new Sport Pak! I have been using their packing accessories for a while now and really, really love how easy they are to tote my running gear.

In the afternoon, we went to The Hyppo Cafe to enjoy popsicles with some of the St. Augustine Moms Blog Contributors. We have such a great and talented group of women, with so many cool kids, and it was fun to see them in person.

Friday – 4 miles, running

I tried to make up for Thursday’s small run with more miles on Friday. Meh. This one ended with a popsicle, just because I needed something cold and sweet to recover.

The boys had about a week left on their Universal Studios Annual Passes, so they left early in the morning to spend the day at the parks. Little man rode the red side of Dragon Challenge AND went on the Hulk for the first time!

After a few more rides, they decided to go the movies in City Walk to see Spiderman: Homecoming and grabbed dinner at the Toothsome Chocolate Emporium before driving home. They had a blast.

Saturday – 5 miles, running

Despite running three days this week already, I wanted to get in a few more miles, so I set out one more time. Ugh. I kept it slow and easy – no point in subjecting myself to heat stroke. I felt much better once it was finished.

Mr PugRunner went for a bike ride later in the day and the kids played outside. Yay for chill weekends.

 

Summer is actually almost over for us! I can’t believe the kids will be back in school in about a month! There are a few thing left on our bucket list we need to complete in the next weeks. Little man has a few more camps to try out and there are a couple of activities we want to try. I hope we can fit it all in.

How was your week in training?

How was your 4th of July, if you celebrate?

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?!
