happy 4th of july!

July 4, 2013      14 Comments

I hope you are all enjoying this wonderful holiday!

Best of luck to all my fellow runners at their races today! I wish I was out there with you, but I am excited to hear about and read all your recaps!

I’m looking forward to lunch out with Mr PugRunner and Little Man. I might not be able to really eat much, but I’m excited to get out of the house for a bit. And we are going to have the best time at the fireworks display tomorrow night when our family gets into town.

How are you celebrating the 4th? What are you favorite Independence Day traditions?

Did you run a race this morning? How did it go?

      Love the shore! Sounds like you’re having a great holiday!

      And it was amazing getting out. And eating something! Of course, now I’m exhausted but I have hope for a semi-decent weekend!

    Like the “Camo Blonde” (Austin’s name for me) that I am, I set the wrong alarm for my race yesterday and slept through it. Whoops!

    Hope you had a great holiday! And glad to hear you got out of the house 🙂

      Oh, no! I hate when I oversleep for something!

      It was great. I branched out and did some cleaning this morning. Result? A nap is in my future.

    I hope you’re at least feeling some better and that your light at the end of the tunnel is near (or race finish analogy that your doctor used)… I hope you were able to eat something!

    I raced yesterday and then had a relaxing day. We walked to our friends’ house later in the day for a BBQ.

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!

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?!
