weekly wrap: 5.29 – 6.4

June 6, 2016      22 Comments

Monday means it’s time to share the Weekly Wrap time with HoHo Runs and MissSippi Piddlin!

WeeklyWrap

If you do a weekly recap post, this is a great way to check in with other active bloggers for extra support, sharing and accountability!

This week was spent kind of adjusting to the first full week of summer. I am making it a point to be more spontaneous and free-wheeling this summer – I am notorious for being pretty rigid, but I want little man to have an amazing break and part of that is letting him do crazy things like stay up too late, have popsicles for lunch and spend way too much time  in the pool. It’s  definitely out of my comfort zone but the look on his face when he’s having the time of his life make it all worth it.

Sunday – rest

We all slept in a bit, and then spent the day running errands and hanging out. Little man joined me for some errands, which included lunch and homemade popsicles, and then Mr PugRunner took him to visit the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile at the local grocery store. I had never seen it in person! Hilarious!

Monday – Florida Striders Memorial Day 5K

While I have a race report coming, this was the race I had been waiting for since getting hurt earlier this year. It went well, considering.

I was a little disappointed that Mr PugRunner and little man couldn’t be there – they were planning on it, but little man had had a couple of incredibly busy days, and had actually been sleeping in. We thought it best to let him catch up on his rest. No point tiring him out in just a few days.

After the race, I found myself faced with a dead car battery. Certainly not a fun obstacle. A fellow runner came to my rescue and gave me a jump so I could get home.

The rest of the day was spent with family and friends – we grilled salmon and street corn and enjoyed the company until after the sun set.

Tuesday – rest

I had planned to rejoin my group but it didn’t work out and I was quite happy to take a rest day, instead.

Work was uneventful, and I couldn’t wait to get home to check the mail.

It’s been a while since I’ve been this enthusiastic over a book, but I am absolutely engrossed by Ron Chernow’s Alexander Hamilton. Like, I’m having a hard time putting it down. And I already have most of the musical memorized. It’s one of the best I’ve ever heard, and I can’t wait for the show to start touring so we can maybe see it on stage.

Wednesday – 1 mile running, 60:00 cycling

This day didn’t go quite as I planned. I was really looking forward to a run with my Moms Run This Town group later in the day, but holy moly – the temperatures were already in the 90s by 11:00 in the morning. I’m just not well-equipped for that.

In the morning, I ran a 1/2 mile warmup, hopped on the bike for 16 miles and then followed with another 1/2 mile run. It was just too hot to push farther and I wanted to start getting my legs used to the transition from pedals to road.

By that point, I was pretty done. I was so hot, I actually grabbed a cherry popsicle from the freezer instead of water. It was the perfect post-workout treat.

Thursday – 4 miles running

Since I had a little extra time in the morning (no bus stop!), I was ok to go for four miles. It was ridiculously humid, but the gorgeous sunrise made up for the fact that I suffered quite a bit of nausea.

I had to take a moment to get myself together, but was lucky to have some pretty understanding running partners.

After work, Mr PugRunner had I went to my parents for dinner and to pick up little man from his time at Camp Nana & Papa. We had a nice evening and tried to turn in early because he was having an all-day playdate with his buddy the next day.

Friday – rest

Body circuit was canceled due to the trainers having another commitment, and little man was having an all-day playdate. It ended up being a pretty busy day: we went to see the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sequel, had lunch at the pool, did a little swimming, baked cookies, and went out to dinner. After all that, the boys decided they wanted to try a sleepover. Everyone was on board and when we got home, we got them ready for bed with an air mattress and pull out couch. I stayed up a few hours to make sure they were soundly sleeping, and then finally got to bed, myself.

Saturday – 3.1 miles running

Even though I didn’t have a great night’s sleep, I was ready to run. Mr PugRunner took care of pancakes for the boys while I got in my three miles.

It was horrifically humid, so we know that summer is here for sure.

After little man’s friend went home, he passed out for a hard, four hour nap. Yikes! He even slept through lunch! When he woke up and we got him fed, he and I headed to the city for the Jacksonville Sharks game. It was Superhero Night, and we were treated to appearances by some favorites, like Wonder Woman, Batman and Iron Man.

It was a great game, but the Sharks couldn’t pull out the victory. They’ll get it next time. Little man had a blast and I was so glad we got to hang out together.

 

And there you have it. We have entered June kind of slowly, but that will start ramping up. This week will be a little tough: we are currently in the throes of Tropical Storm Colin. It’s not a particularly awful storm (at least, not compared to the hurricanes we used to experience when we lived in South Florida), but there is tons of rain, plenty of high-speed wind and obviously, we operate under “safety first” rules.

How was your week in review?

Do you have a season of bad weather where you are? How do you manage your training though it?

    I hate dealing with dead batteries. In the hot weather here, they don’t last very long, and when they die, they are DEAD!

    Nice training week. Glad your race went pretty well.

      I know. It died twice in the past week – unfortunately one of the times was when I was on my own. I am pretty good at a lot of things, but I don’t do car stuff. I guess I should learn. That being said, our car apparently has a very unique battery, so even the guy who jumped it needed a moment to figure it out. I’m glad he was there.

      Carefree is very not my MO. I am way too OCD, anal and type A, but it’s not about me, and I want everyone to have so much fun. It’s been kind of nice.

    Our summer came in with a vengeance as well, but NO complaints from me 😉 I love the warm weather, and the humidity doesn’t bother me much because I seldom ever try to run “fast” in it. I had a popsicle today, and it was the Bomb 😉

      I do try to run fast in the humid weather, and it’s absolutely awful. It’s good training, but ugh, it’s demoralizing in the moment.

    Nice job getting in what workouts you could in the heat! Sorry to hear about your car battery after your race! Same thing happened to me once and no one had jumper cables so we had to call a towing service that jumped us.

      The book is riveting. There are a lot of tedious bits but the entire story is just so fraught with drama and tragedy – it’s almost like a 1700s soap opera. I am hooked.

    I’m currently in the FL panhandle and the humidity this week was no joke. I got my rides and runs in, though not pleasant. I think it’s a great idea to have a more relaxed summer. It’s all about making memories, right? I have seen the weinermobile! Our high school band played at the opening ceremony of one of their plants. Talk about memories!! Thanks for linking with us Jenn!

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!

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?!
