week 48: running into december

November 28, 2021      14 Comments

On Wednesday, it will be December, the last month of this (very bizarre) year. I’m excited. I love December, and winter, and all the things that go with it. I am going to work very hard to cram in as much as possible this month, and enjoy it as much as possible.

Sunday – 3.6 miles, walking

Happy Sunday! The warmer weather was back, but it was a bit of a dreary day. Nevertheless, the week had begun, and so it was off to conquer.

A had to work on another merit badge (which he completed!) and then he and Mr PugRunner went out to do some more fundraising work for Scouts. They had a good time, even if the weather did deteriorate throughout the day.

Monday – 5.06 miles, beach + hill repeats

I braved the chill and made it back to my beach. It was crazy. Cold, windy, and I got drizzled on. Boo.

Tuesday – 5.00 miles, running + .32 miles, walking

Happy day before the holiday weekend! Of course, we ran.

I had the day off from Taco, which was fine. In the meantime, I had plenty of things to do at home, with some client work and prep around the house. Mr PugRunner worked from home, too, so it was a nice day.

Even better? Ms. Luna got her stitches out! She hated every second of the car ride, but was so happy to be all healed up.

Wednesday – 3.52 miles, walking + hip flexor workout

A started his break, so I left him to sleep in while I walked.

Then we met my parents for breakfast. A was going to spend the day and night with them. It’s been too long since he had a sleepover.

My day was jam packed: I made the stuffing and macaroni and cheese. I also ironed all our holiday outfits, set the dining room table and worked on some more crafts.

Mr PugRunner wanted to go to Flagler Beach for dinner, but the restaurant he chose was closed through December. We found another place to try, and it was such a great evening.

Thursday – 5 miles, running + 1.31 miles, walking

Happy Thanksgiving! As I mentioned, I skipped the annual Turkey Trot in favor of sleeping in a little and running with J. Yes, I skipped out on a medal! Who am I?

When I got home, I put together the charcuterie board, while Mr PugRunner worked on the turkey. Then I showered and was off to the Alligator Farm. Maximo, the giant saltwater crocodile, was celebrating his 50th birthday, while the rest of the zoo had Thanksgiving, and I had been invited to check it out.

Then it was back home for a feast with the family. It was a beautiful day.

And check out Luna’s barkcuterie board! She loved it and ate (slowly) every treat).

Friday – 4.04 miles, walking

Did I want to get out of bed? No. Did I do it anyway? Yes.

The rest of the day was literally spent finalizing ornaments and packaging cups. I was so grateful to get in pajamas and veg out on the couch in front of the television. We are watching the new Hawkeye series and it’s incredible.

Oh, and it was Black Friday. I didn’t go near a store, but I did purchase a few things online. Funny story: one of my QALO stackable wedding bands disappeared. I couldn’t find it anywhere. Well, when I was walking Luna on Friday, she was doing her business and I noticed something odd in her doodle. Long story short, I decided to just replace the ring rather than attempt a rescue. Sigh.

Saturday – 9 miles running

J and I got up early to squeeze in nine miles before my day really started.

After my shower, Mr PugRunner helped me set up my tent and table at the amenity center in my neighborhood. At first, I thought I had made a HUGE mistake, but I actually had a really great day of sales, and even got a whole bunch of custom orders, too! Wow.

I was absolutely exhausted by the time we closed shop, so I opted for leftovers and wine, while the boys went to a hockey game. It was the perfect end to a Saturday.

Goal-getting

So I did slack a little on my strength training this week. I was super busy with the holiday and the vendor fair, so it just didn’t work out. That’s k, I’m back into it this week.

How was your week in training? Have you ever watched a saltwater crocodile feed? How about tortoises? Did you have a nice holiday?

    Love the charcuterie board AND the barkcuterie board! That’s hilarious. Sound like you had a great week. i also didn’t do quite as many workouts, but we just get in what we can. You got in some great running.
    I tried to zoom in to see your crafts better but couldn’t get a good look. Very cool that you had success with it! I also love the month of December and want to soak in all the festivities.

    Wow, what a busy week you had! How fun to be able to go to the zoo on Thanksgiving.
    So sorry that Luna digested your ring but at least you know where it got to.
    Have a great new week friend!

    Wow. Just wow. I’m tired just reading all that! Glad you enjoyed it.

    That Barkuturie board . . . again, wow! You’re so creative. I used to bake occasionally for the dogs but Bandit has a really delicate stomach. In fact, he threw up at my moms (he’s ok) & I blame it on the turkey someone had to feed him.

    Thankfully none of mine have ever eaten jewelry . . . glad that didn’t cause a problem!

    I’m so glad Luna is all healed up and could she be any cuter with her barkuterie board? I think not! How great the craft fair was a success!

    I’m so proud of you for having a vendor stall! We have bee hives and twice a year get lots of honey that we sell to friends and family. I’m always so shy to actually go to one of our local markets and set up a table, but you’ve inspired me to at least try it once!

      I would love to see more about your hives! I love bees! I hope you do try it! It’s a good experience getting out there. And I’ve sold a ton more since then.

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?!
