week 78: the hits keep coming

June 26, 2022      9 Comments

Well, this week turned into a big ol’ slap in the face. Needless to say, I’m in a terrible mood, and have zero interest in positive-ing myself out of it.



Sunday

  • Cardio: 3.14 miles, walking

Happy Father’s Day! After a very late night of dancing, we were all a little tired. I walked while everyone else was sleeping.

We didn’t do much else for the rest of the day. Record highs meant that we wanted to stay indoors and loaf around. Nothing wrong with that.

Monday

  • Cardio: 4.47 miles, running + walking (beach)

It was honestly a gorgeous day at the beach. The tide was super low, which meant lots of hard-packed, flat sand. Yay!

That night, we had a taco and margarita night at a friend’s house. We ate and laughed, and played Left-Right-Center. I won the third round so that was awesome!

Tuesday

  • Cardio: 7.28 miles, running + walking

It was hot and humid, but the run felt good, so I’ll take the win.

Mr PugRunne rand I had a date night at our local wine bar. We are part of their wine club, so we had to pick up our June bottles.

Wednesday

  • Cardio: 3.98 miles, walking

The middle of the week calls for a mediocre day of fitness. I am super focused on closing out my June streak, so that’s keeping me going.

Thursday

  • Cardio: 5.79 miles, running + walking

J wasn’t able to run but she was able to join me for a walk. We made it work.

Afterwards, I hurried off to have coffee with Alex, from St. A Mom. I am so glad to be a part of this team, and I love getting together with the incredible ladies who made it happen. This meetup was just us this time, but there will be plenty more to come.

Friday

  • Cardio: 3.75 miles, walking

Friday was just… a day. I got in my walk.

And then I came home and just sort of spent the day alone. I binged The Boys Season 3 (which, if you can stomach it, is really a phenomenal show), and kept to myself. Am I proud of that? No, but I am being gentle with myself at the moment.

Saturday

  • Cardio: 8.33 miles. running + walking

I’m really not sure how we pulled this one together. Part of me really needed to run, but the other part of me just wanted to stay in bed all day. Sometimes, this is how the great runs happen.

After my shower, I treated myself to an iced coffee and raspberry filled donut. Yes, I brought home stuff for the family, too.

In the afternoon, we went to my parents’ to celebrate Father’s Day and my mom’s birthday, and then we took my stepdad to a Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp game. It was actually a really nice night, and the Shrimp won! We needed a night like this.

Goal-getting + Thoughts

Meh. Some weeks are like this. Again. My focus is being gentle with myself and then digging back in.

    OK, that donut looks delicious and it sounds like you had a good day today.

    It’s OK to be down, but don’t give up — perseverance will pay off eventually.

    Last week was a challenging one for sure. But it looks like you had some fun stuff to enjoy as well. It’s all about focus, right? I can’t believe June is almost over!

    Hang in there. 2022 has had some tough moments, for sure. Friday was one of them. But I agree with Wendy- keep moving. We’ll get through this!
    Hope this is a better week for you.

    Hope you can drag yourself back into being OK. It’s a bad time of year for lots of people, it seems. I’ve referred myself to NHS mental health services for my ballooning anxiety and my husband’s developed stress-related IBS from his job and his father being unwell. So solidarity from over here xx

      I don’t even want to talk to any medical professionals here anymore. Right now, the healthcare profession is not high on my list of people to trust 🙁

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?!
