Over coffee, I would tell you…

That we are so excited to share that this year’s Fit Five Friday has TOPICS! That’s right! We’ve created a schedule of prompts to help make Friday’s posting just a little easier! We hope this will be helpful and encourage you to play along with us on Fridays!

Over coffee, I would tell you…

That I picked my word of the year, shared some deep thoughts in regards to it, and am feeling so much more at peace. These are all good things.

Over coffee, I would tell you…

That the year is not off to a smooth start. So much has happened in the last few days to myself, my family, my friends, people adjacent to me, and public figures. It’s a little scary and tumultuous. I mean, out of nowhere, we had tornado warnings today. What?

Over coffee, I would tell you…

That with all the insanity, I’ve been bizarrely motivated. I’m really trying to keep up with my commitments to myself. Sometimes I overpromise and underdeliver. I’m trying to reverse that.

Over coffee, I would tell you…

I got the cutest cutters and can’t wait to start making some Valentine’s studs. Little hearts that say “tacos”? Yes, please!

What would you share over coffee? Any holiday plans?

Welcome to Fit Five Friday, our new linkup!

We’ve got FIVE incredible co-hosts, and we are ready to link up every Friday to share YOUR weekly fitness favorites! Join My First 5K and More, Running With Attitude, Run Laugh Eat Pie, Runs with Pugs, and Zenaida every Friday for Fit Five Friday! Who’s ready for some fun?

    Life is always going to throw things at you that you cannot control. You can only control how you respond to them.
    Thanks for the great new topics they will be helpful!

    I like your word for the year! Somehow I missed that post- I have to go back and read your deep thoughts. It sounds like you’re starting the year off in a good place! And those cutters… are they for earrings? They are cute!

    I am so sorry the year is off to a rough start for you. (((Hugs))). I’m glad it hasn’t stolen your motivation — keep focusing on that word — you are worthy of good things and good times.

    Oh, I think the Friday topics will help get my blogging more often. Thanks for doing all that.

    I love your word and I really love your tenacity Jenn! even with everything thrown at you, you still remain true to yourself! hopefully also keeping your own sanity and self-care in mind. I have been thinking about a word but I just don’t have one that “speaks” to me yet. Huge hugs and I hope things settle down for you all soon. x

    Ooo, I like this schedule! I haven’t blogged regularly in a couple years now but would like to get back into it. I don’t run, but may be popping into some of the non-running prompts! 😀

    Those cutters are adorable!

    We’ve just introduced Taco Tuesdays to our family meal plan, so those Taco studs made me smile! Sorry to hear about your rough start to the year but also happy you’ve stayed motivated in spite of it all. Wishing you and your family an amazing 2023 and can’t wait to see all you get up to!

    PS: Thanks for those Fit Five Friday prompts – I’ve been looking for some ideas and these will definitely help to get the writing juices flowing again!

In flight? You know it! I’m adjusting my schedu In flight? You know it!

I’m adjusting my schedule a little bit. Right now, I just can’t get up as early as I would like, but that’s ok. Things can be shuffled and rearranged.

Additionally, I rescued a big dog this morning with another neighbor. I heard galloping behind me as I was heading home and was almost tackled by a huge doodle-type. Between us, we were able to call the microchip service and get his address and she went to notify the owner. He wasn’t a good walker and he even knocked me down (very slowly and dramatically) while I held him and waited. He is home safe and sound and I’m wondering how many people carry leashes with them on the run just in case this happens. This is my second rescue in a few weeks. It’s becoming a thing.

Any plans this weekend? Any dog rescues while running?

Today’s cultivation brought to you by some windy miles. I started a little later than i wanted, but tomorrow’s another day.

Yesterday was a long and emotional day. I did walk Yesterday was a long and emotional day. I did walk but I didn’t post. I’m still just mentally drained, but I got up today and tried to make a strong start of it.

It was a challenge but I got it done.

Anyone else just forging ahead as needed? We’ve got this!

Here’s to the first medal of the year! And here’s to so many more!

Did you race this weekend?

Baby, it’s cold 🥶 outside! Peep that frost! Baby, it’s cold 🥶 outside!

Peep that frost!

Solid five miles this morning. I just started the strength training plan I won from @kimrunsthemitten so I was a little sore but I think the frosty air was good for my muscles. 

It’s promising to be a pretty day so fingers crossed for more outdoors time!

How are you honoring this day?

It’s a beautiful weekend for the #staugfilmfest! It’s a beautiful weekend for the #staugfilmfest! We saw @tiger24film, presented by @staugalligatorfarm at the Lewis Auditorium, and it was truly an incredible and thought provoking documentary on the tenuous balance between wild animals in their natural habitat, humans, and the consequences that occur when the two come together. 

There is still plenty of time to check out screenings at three locations this afternoon and evening! Visit https://www.staugfilmfest.com for ticket details!
