A Somewhat Lowkey Spring Break

Spring Break is one of the weeks we never really celebrate. While it would be nice to get away, it’s also nice to just chill at home, and try to catch up on things around the house. We all have some travel coming up, too, so it wasn’t too terrible to take a pass on vacation this particular week.

Sunday

Cardio: 5.15 miles, walking

Another week is starting, and I filled my day with some walks for me and client walks. I can’t complain: the weather has been absolutely stunning, and I love fresh air.

Monday

Cardio: 6.36 miles, running + 1.41 miles, walking

Everything was absolutely perfect this morning. I woke up, renewed and refreshed, and headed out before the sunrise. Conditions were flawless, and my run felt like flying. Until I smacked into the back of a landscaping trailer that was sticking out into the sidewalk.

Photos of the culprit after the sun came up. The good news is it was mostly just my left leg. I am still sporting a pretty ugly bruise, that goes from my knee all the way up, but other than that, it’s all good. It came out of nowhere!

Tuesday

Cardio: 5.31 miles, running

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I do very much wish I was in Ireland. Will it ever happen? I hope so: I think it’s a place I would love to be more than anywhere.

The boys were out of town, so we didn’t do any proper celebrating. I wore green and hoped for great luck.

Wednesday

Cardio: 4.06 miles, walking

I was really glad for a walk day. My leg was a little sore and I just needed a break. I found a really nice nature trail to log my miles, and was treated to a deer sighting! Yes, it was cold enough for leggings: we got into the 30s!

Thursday

Cardio: 5.04 miles, running

Still cold. Still showing beautiful signs of spring. I managed a little bit of speed work, hit more trails, and enjoyed the flowers.

Friday

Cardio: 4.4 miles, running

Friday promised to be busy: I had a new client who had never had a sitter before: he was so upset, and it was a bit of an adventure getting him comfortable. We managed with the help of one of his dog buddies and some patience and creative thinking. Whew.

It was a good thing my day started out in the fresh air.

Saturday

Cardio: 4.88 miles, walking

After everything settled, we both got a good night’s sleep. Everyone woke up in a good mood, reset and ready to start the day.

I was also glad to get in my steps on this beautiful morning.

Thoughts + Goals

So what’s up this week? Well, it’s going to be a little quieter in some ways. However, I’ve got some super fun events on the calendar, and I’m excited for that.

Will I be back at line dancing? Fingers crossed! I also have the March To Get Screened 5K for colon cancer awareness next Sunday, and that will be great as always.
