week 92: winds from the east

October 2, 2022      12 Comments

What a week. We are very fortunate to have walked away from Hurricane Ian with nothing more than inconvenience, but I am broken hearted for everyone who faced horrific loss from the storms. It was a nightmare.



Sunday

  • Cardio: 4.33 miles

Happy Sunday! I had my hustle on for sure!

The day was gorgeous and we had tickets to the Taco & Tequila Festival. It was the most perfect event, full of tacos, margaritas, music, public art, and good times. I am so glad we went.

Monday

  • Cardio: 5.61 miles, running + walking

We started Monday knowing that we needed to get things prepped and ready for Ian. This involves getting water, food, cash, and gas, making sure the generator works, and moving outdoor things inside.

A ended up with a late band practice, so it was a long night.

Tuesday

  • Cardio: 4.75 miles

I got up a little late, and got myself worked into a bit of a state. A had some eye issues over the weekend. We thought it was cleared up, but on Tuesday, it was back. Mr PugRunner took him to urgent care just in case we needed to get meds before the storm hit.

A ended up staying home from school entirely, but we got word that our district’s schools were closing for the week and all activities were canceled. Uh oh.

Wednesday

  • Cardio: 5.3 miles, running + walking

One last, quiet day. The storms were supposed to start later in the morning, so we hustled out for a run.

And then it was back home to finish prep.

Leonidas also had his appointment to have his stitches out. The vet gave the seal of approval for both surgeries, and he is clear of all restrictions. Not that he cared about those.

The winds and rain started up and we hunkered down to weather Ian.

Thursday

  • Cardio: 2.03 miles, walking

Surprisingly, I slept through the whole night. Usually, I drift in and out, worrying about tornadoes. I must have been tired.

We got hit with lots of misting rain and lots of strong sustained wind. It was a long day, but we kept our power and internet, and the canal didn’t rise much.

I even got out for a walk before dinner! The pugs desperately needed some exercise and so did I. It was COLD, and you can see that it was still windy from my hair and hood.

Friday

  • Cardio: 7.27 miles, running + walking

By Friday morning, Ian was gone. Our coastal areas and low lying areas were flooded, but hopefully that will recede quickly.

J and I got out for a run and long walk.

And then we just chilled at home. We got take out from a local restaurant that opened back up, and that’s a great way to help the businesses who shut down for and/or sustained damage from the storm. We also don’t want to get in the way of any clean up or recovery efforts.

Saturday

  • Cardio: 4.35 miles, walking

Here’s to October.

We were supposed to spend the day hosting and volunteering at a marching band competition, but that was postponed for obvious reasons.

Mr PugRunner worked on cleaning up our outside, A went to help an elderly neighbor get her yard cleaned up, and I ran errands.

In the evening, we had a spooky Halloween get together with friends. I’ve missed hanging out with them.

Goal-getting + Thoughts

There really aren’t words for what has happened to our state. Hurricanes are a part of Florida life, but the devastation and loss is truly staggering. Every storm is different and brings its own threat, but Ian was definitely a monster. We will not soon forget him.


I am linking up with the Weekly Rundown, with Confessions of A Mother Runner and Running on the Fly! Check them out!

How was your week in training?

    The destruction in the Ft. Meyers area is devastating. I’m glad you were spared. I think my ILs are heading home to Tampa today. Hopefully they won’t find too much damage, but they do live right on the Bay, so there’s a storm surge/flooding risk. .

    Yes, I thought about you! We were also outside the path of Ian (for the most part- got some rain and wind like you) but then I got nervous seeing it head up your way! I can’t even believe the photos and videos of the destruction- it’s truly devastating.
    On a lighter note, I LOVE your Halloween charcuterie board!!! What’s that mummy-looking thing? I need to make a spooky charcuterie board soon!

    Way to get your workouts in despite your crazy weather week! I’m so glad you had minimal cleanup to do after Ian. All of our friends who have retired to Naples are fine, but have a lot of cleanup ahead of them. Pablo and his humans returned home yesterday to no damage to their home.

    Why don’t we have a Taco & Tequila Festival up here?

    I’m so glad you were spared the worst of Ian. My friend has a place in SA and she said the historic downtown flooded. I hope nothing was seriously damaged.

    Your charcuterie board is so cute! Have you seen the butter boards?

    Glad you remained safe & had power. Of course our hearts go out to those that didn’t. One person post a phot of a good 4’ of water pressing on the very large windows on their house nnhow those windows didn’t break I don’t know! It looked terrifying.

    All the work prepping for the storm must have been exhausting.

    I’m glad Ian spared you but yes, it must be terrifying not knowing who will get hit. I have a friend with waterfront property in Ft Meyers and yes, her home is gone. So very sad. That platter is gorgeous!

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?

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?!
