week 44: happy halloween!

October 31, 2021      13 Comments

IT’S HALLLLLOOOOOWEEEEEEN! Can you tell? I’m a little excited. Just a tad. I can’t help it.

Sunday – 3.15 miles, walking

After a night at the gala, getting up early was absolutely not a priority. I did manage to drag myself out of bed at some point and force myself to walk. That is what dedicated people do. Or something.

A came home from his camping weekend, and we all took a chill day with movies and family time. Nice.

Monday – 5.59 miles, beach + bridge

Once again, I didn’t want to run the bridges. I did do a little bit on the beach, but then I reverted to walking. Meh.

I did mix things up and head out to some of the beach neighborhoods. There are some beautiful houses and things around the area, and it was nice to have a change of scenery.

Tuesday – 5.00 miles, running + .84 miles, walking

We have been patiently waiting for a cold front, but the humidity is still going strong. Ugh. J and I slogged through the run. Neither one of us was feeling it.

Tuesdays are for Taco. This was my first day working with him all alone and he was a whole mood. He didn’t want to be haltered, nor did he want to cooperate for his grooming. On the plus side, he gave me all four of his hooves to pick, willingly and without complaint. Small progress.

Wednesday – 4 miles, walking + bicep workout

It’s so much easier to get in walks than weights. I don’t know what that is. I think I’m just ready to get the day going once I come home. But I’m committed, so this is what it is.

A went to hang out with his buddy after school, and my friend (his mom) said it was alright if I used her dirt road for photos to showcase my costume. I’m going as the Bo Burnham song, “A White Woman’s Instagram.” I made a shirt with the Rae Dunn font that says “COSTUME” and I also made the “basic witch” coffee cup. I think I nailed it.

Thursday – 4.92 miles, running + .65 miles, walking + shoulder workout

We woke up to actual storms with thunder and lightning. Like to the point that A needed a ride to school, rather than ride his bike. I actually went to the gym and started my run on the treadmill, but when I saw that things were clearing up, I texted J and asked if she would be up for getting just a little wet. I worked on my shoulders while I waited for her, and then we made it happen.

I usually treat myself to an iced coffee after a run, but I was freezing and decided to see if our Starbucks had the ingredients for a peppermint mocha. They did! And they gave me a venti instead of the grande I paid for.

Yes, it was a bones day. If you know, you know.

Friday – 2.46 miles, walking

I didn’t have much time for my walk, but I got done what I could.

I had to hurry to shower and get dressed, because Mr PugRunner and I had plans to be at the Social Media Expo Jax at University of North Florida. We both wanted some input on social media for our respective businesses, and neither of us had done this kind of conference before.

I learned a little more about TikTok, while he got some feedback on growth. It was a productive day.

When we got home, we got A shipped off to his second consecutive camping weekend, and then hit the couch for dinner and Season 3 of You.

Saturday – 8.6 miles, running + 1.37 miles, walking

Back to long runs! It was cold and glorious and we ran and ran! Delightful days.

Our 15th anniversary is this week, so we went out for an early dinner to a new restaurant we hadn’t tried. We had beet salad, bourbon cocktails, and salmon and short ribs. So yummy and so nice to try a new place.

Goal-getting

I’m finally feeling better, which makes me happy. It was a long two weeks of ick.

Strength workouts are going strong, pun intended. The colder weather makes it harder for me to keep my water intake up there, but I’m trying. Progress, not perfection, right?

This will be another busy week with a virtual class for me, a’s third consecutive campout and our anniversary getaway. I’m also super motivated to take some giant strides with my Runs With Pugs brand, and so I ordered some content planners and calendars, and will see if I can make something happen. Wish me luck?

    Happy Halloween!

    That was a nice win at Starbucks 🙂 I was a little mad at them yesterday because I found out that they aren’t bringing back the Eggnog Latte for their holiday drink collection 🙁

    I love your TikToks. I am always on the app looking at funny videos but haven’t taken the plunge to post anything on there yet.

    Wow, you really did a lot this week! I’m envious of your cold weather- we thought we were getting a cooldown here, but it never really materialized. I hope you’re having an awesome Halloween! Love your costume.

    Treats of course.

    It was fun seeing all the little ones dressed up.. we had many more than usual and ran out of candy. So I escaped and met a friend for wine.

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?!
