I wanted to let you all know that I added two new sections to the blog today.
I will be starting up a Blogger Feature series on Loving On The Run starting in 2 weeks. Every other Monday I will be featuring a fellow blogger in my afternoon post. If you are interested in getting your blog featured, fill out the contact form here.
Also, occasionally I get requests from others to guest post. If you would like to guest post on Loving On The Run, please fill out the contact form here.
*You can find these both under the “Contribute” tab I added above.
Hi there! This week has been busy in our household, but that’s ok. I prefer it that!
The weather on Monday and Tuesday was beautiful. Mid to low 40’s, sunny and really all around perfect running weather. For the first time in 7 months I went for a run outside.
I ran 4 miles outside with no pace in mind. I ran whatever pace felt easy to my body and tried to take in the beauty that was around me. It felt like so long since I have been able to run in the sun.
Treadmills are great, but there is nothing better than the beauty of the outdoors on a sunny day.
Wes took this picture of me pre-run trying to get the right song on my iPod shuffle to start! I look so focused HA!
Oh, guess what it looked like today when I woke up? It was around 13 degrees and snowing. In fact we are supposed to get 10-14 inches of snow over the next day. WHAT?! The weather sure changed quickly.
Today was a rest day in terms of running. We headed to the gym a little later in the afternoon before I headed to work to do a little pool running and strength training.
This is my third straight day of strength training. I am really happy I have stuck with it, I know it will pay off for me in the long run!
I am happy to report that Wes is running again. Not as much as he used to be, but he slowly working his way up. He will be making a decision by April 1st on whether or not he will run the Boston Marathon.
I have left this decision completely up to him. Of course, Boston holds a special place in my heart and we will always love going; however, it isn’t smart to run it if he isn’t 100%. I know it is hard decision because he doesn’t know what his schedule will end up being next year, and he knows this could be the last year he’s able to get off to do it for a while.
He has already decided if he were to run it he wouldn’t be racing, but instead either helping to pace a friend or just enjoying the event. We will see what happens!
Other than that the week has been going along pretty easily.
I submitted my first job application in Virginia. The job isn’t technically open yet but they wanted to see my resume. Nothing will probably start happening until mid-April but it never hurts to get started!
That’s about all for me this week so far.
Tell me…hows your week going?
Oh, and since I love sharing new running deals! PRO Compression has a great sale going on. They are currently offering 20% off all compression products through 3/16! Just enter the code WORKOUT at checkout.
My week has been pretty great! Busy, but in a good way
Good to hear! Yes, mine has been busy too but I like it that way 🙂
My week has flown by! I can’t believe its Thursday already!
I’ve been really busy, I’m getting last minute shopping done before me and my partner go on holiday for Mexico for 2 weeks on Tuesday next week. I’m suuuper excited!
Mexico!??! I am so jealous! Have a blast!!!
We have had a change in the weather finally too. Sure there is a little snow in the forecast but with above zero temps, the weather lady said that she thinks we won’t even need to shovel that amount off our driveways! That I will take! This has been way too long of winter for us as we were unable to take a vacation this year (we try to as it really breaks up the 6+ months of winter but it wasn’t in our budget this year)
I’m so ready for the weekend!! The weather has been better here in Kansas and we’re expected to have mild weather. This Saturday, my son and I are running a 2 mile fun run for St Patrick’s Day. I’m really looking forward to that. I had hoped to run the 10K, but unfortunately with being sick and recovering from a tight hamstring I did register for the race. Can’t wait to run a 5K next month. I am determined to set a PR!
Have fun at the race! That is awesome that you are doing that together. Good job listening to your body – I’m sure you will still have a blast!
This week has been great since it is our Spring Break week here in TX. Weather has been amazing and my running has been great. Got in 13 miles today in my new Mizuno Wave Hitogami’s. I was uber excited to hit the pavement with them. I can’t believe you all are supposed to get that much snow. UGHHHHH…….I can’t imagine.
Have always wanted to try out the Hitogami’s – do you like them???
Yes I am used to the snow but I sure was spoiled Monday and Tuesday!
I LOVED THEM!!!!! I will make a post about them just haven’t had a chance. Having too much fun with the “no Schedule It’s Spring Break” thing 🙂
