More Scenes From Spring

Everyone seems to be having a similar experience: spring is wonky this year. While I don’t mind the cooler temperatures, I do hate the storms and the rain. They kind of ruin everything. But onward we go!

Sunday

• Cardio: 3.94 miles, walking

After a very long Saturday, I was super happy to sleep in and have a leisurely walk.

Then I took A and his girlfriend shopping for prom. It’s a big deal, and it was nice to get to join them and offer advice and assistance. From there, we met my mom for a super late lunch/early dinner, and then we called it a day. I had so much work to catch up on and just needed a little downtime.

Monday

• Cardio: 6 miles, running
• Strength: Arms + Abs, 50 minutes

Oh, Monday. We meet again. I got in my run and took the kids to school.

I got myself to the gym, and then headed in for new nails. I love these.

Mr PugRunner flew home that night, too. His flight was a little delayed, but he made it! He had a great time with his brother and nephews at the NCAA Tournament, so that was wonderful.

Tuesday

• Cardio: 5.48 miles, running + walking
• Strength: Legs + Abs, 50 minutes

A little Couch to 5K on a Tuesday morning? I’ll take it.

A was home from school because the juniors had ACT and everyone else had a “virtual learning day.” I invited him to join me for breakfast at a local farm, and he agreed! The Feed Mill offers donation based breakfasts during the week, as well as pizzas on weekends. You can purchase produce, fresh meat, dairy, and eggs, as well as see all animals. We had french toast, biscuits and gravy, and frittatas, all literally farm to table.

Wednesday

• Cardio: 6.05 miles, walking

So I had a run planned, but i woke up with super sore hips and glutes. I decided to just walk and skip the gym.

I was off kilter all day because we had a media sunset boat tour scheduled, but the weather was bad. Really, really bad. Ultimately, the team ended up rescheduling, but I struggle with uncertainty, so it made the rest of my day a bit more challenging. As it was, we got take out sushi instead, and I completed a bunch of projects. Go me!

Thursday

• Cardio: 4.36 miles, running + 1.79 miles, walking
• Strength: Legs + Abs, 50 minutes

J bailed on me due to the rain, but I was already out so felt like I needed to finish. Yay.

I also did my thing at the gym, and it felt much better. Love when that happens.

Friday

• Cardio: 5 miles, running + walking

We had a good Couch to 5K session, and a nice chat.

When I got home, I did some prep work for Easter. And then A and I headed to Daytona for the FFCC Winter Guard Championships. I wanted to get there earlier since it was a holiday weekend, so we got dinner together and walked to the pier. We stayed through two of the AA sections and through the Retreat and Awards Ceremony. It was a crazy late night and a long drive home, but our school’s team was amazing!

Saturday

• Cardio: 4.41 miles, walking

Ready to take on Easter weekend! I walked.

I did more Easter prep, and then we headed out to see a chalk sidewalk art competition. Had a nasty migraine for most of the day, but so it goes.

Thoughts + Goals

Tomorrow is Easter, so we are getting all ready for that. A graciously colored some eggs, and that was a huge help.

I feel like this will be our last “normal” week until the end of the quarter. Between band events, testing and all the rest, it feels like school is practically over! We are starting to schedule college tours for the summer, as well as plan a vacation. We need it for sure!

How was your week in training? Are you celebrating anything this weekend? Ever watch chalk artists in action?
