heading into easter week

April 9, 2023      12 Comments

I am extremely grateful to have a four day weekend for the Easter holiday. It’s going to be pretty full, but I needed at least the suggestion of some time off to get me through.



Sunday

  • Cardio: 4.01 miles, walking

I got home fairly late the night before, and had a crazy day ahead. As a result, I opted to stay back, while Mr. PugRunner headed over to help out at A’s camping/service project weekend. The morning started with a walk.

Thte rest of the day was spent at my friends charity event – A volunteered, and we played bocce ball. We did our best, but we lost, won, then lost and were out. We had plenty of fun, though, all for a great cause.

Monday

  • Cardio: 6.03 miles, running + 1.69 miles, walking
  • RunSmart Official Yoga Day Two, 40 minutes

I always start Mondays super enthused and full of motivation.

In the evening, I went ahead and stretched it out with a nice yoga flow. There were a few too many downward dogs for my liking, but I took my time and worked through them.

Tuesday

  • Cardio: 4.24 miles, walking

Nothing eventful. Just a walk.

We had a big Scouts meeting that night, to get prepared for our annual mulch sale. It’s a lot off numbers and organization, but it will bring in nice funds for the troop.

Wednesday

  • Cardio: 5.76 miles, running + 1.84 miles, walking

We struggled with the humidity on this one. Look at that fog.

Thursday

  • Cardio: 4.51 miles, walking

I was glad for a pretty day with beautiful blue skies. The fresh air was much needed.

This was the last day of school for the week, and it was a busy night. I spent much of it running around, picking up the kids from school, taking A to get his hair cut, and then dropping him off for his pre-MFA concert. It was an incredible performance.

Friday

  • Cardio: 6.24 miles, running + 2.02 miles, walking

I can’t say enough about that sunrise. It’s absolute perfection.

Friday Wass a day of meetings and errands.

And then our air conditioner broke. Ugh. Fortunately, we had a friend who was able to come check it out and replace the broken part.

Saturday

Alpaca Yoga!

FINALLY!!!!! Let me tell you, this was one of the best events ever. We arrived at the alpaca rescue a few minutes early, and set up our mats in the field across from the paddock.

We had an incredible flow, that lasted a little more than an hour, which was so nice. I feel that usually the practice is about 40 minutes for these kinds of things.

And then it was time for treats, mimosas, a tour, and all the treats and kisses.

Goal-getting + Thoughts

Tomorrow will be a busy day with Easter at our house. But I have the memory of those alpacas to get me through!


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? What are you up to this weekend?

    A busy yet fun week.

    You know how I feel about alpacas. I have to find out if there’s out yet.

    No real place around here to run at sunrise or sunset but I do love seeing pix of others who do.

    Today I’m heading back to NYC for work…

    Yes, this sounds like a really fun week. Those alpacas… so lovable! I want to do alpaca yoga!
    I had a moment of panic when you said your AC broke…. NOOOOOOO!!!!!! I’m glad you got it fixed so quickly.
    A is a busy boy! He obviously keeps you busy too. We have band concerts coming up for the end of the year and I can’t wait.

    Those alpacas!! Hope you have a lovely last day of the long weekend. I got half of one bank holiday off but did a six-mile walk yesterday (a bit bittersweet as along a running route I used to do a lot; I’m still not running under physio’s instructions) and I didn’t have to work at the weekend, as I have had to the two last ones. So pretty good.

    Oh, that makes me miss our bocce ball team back in Minneapolis!

    Love the alpaca event. You’re so good about getting out there and trying new things!

    The fog and the sunrise are beautiful.

    Nice week Jenn!

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?!
