I’m linking up again with the DC Trifecta girls Mar on the Run, You Signed Up For What!?, and Eat Pray Run, DC–this week’s theme: Fitness Snapshots
………….
Well, there wasn’t a whole lot happening this week in the way of running or fitness 😦
Monday I was getting my hives on on the treadmill (if you missed my last post, I had a second allergy attack while running) and my 6 mile run was cut short.
I actually felt good on this run….you know, despite the itching and swelling…
and Tuesday was spent trying to remain positive:
“Find the beauty in the storm.”
Wednesday, I went out for a rare mid-week morning run. My husband was leaving out of town for work the rest of the week so I squeezed in a 4 miler before he left. I started out tentatively but eventually found my groove and felt great the entire way. It was just what I needed to lift my spirits after what happened on Monday. I didn’t want to not run or be scared of running so I went out there and hoped for the best.
Could’ve kept going 🙂
I thought about heading to the gym yesterday for my cross training day and dropping my kids off at the gym daycare, but I worried something might happen to me and with my husband gone, I didn’t want to risk it.
So we went backpack shopping instead 🙂 My kids start daycare on Monday and I’m pretty nervous/excited/freaking out about it.
She’s ready to go!
Fridays are typically rest days but I’m planning on heading out for another short 4 miler this evening. I have 8 planned for tomorrow morning so it’ll be nice to get my legs warmed up from having rested the past few days.
And then the rest of the day and weekend will be spent getting things ready for this big guy’s birthday! Less than 2 weeks til he’s ONE ❤
I’m in denial.
My 5 Snapshots! 😀 I hope you all have a great weekend!!
What are your weekend running plans? Anyone racing?
Tell me a snapshot of your week!
First birthdays are so fun. SMASH THE CAKE 🙂
Your kids are so cute and first birthdays are totally the bees knees.
This weekend I do my first group run with my half marathon training group – not too worried about it, but excited to meet the group.
Hey you really turned the week around after the allergic reaction. Could of been real easy to fall off but you still got some good runs in, great job. Backpack shopping is awesome lol, hope they love daycare. Omg 1 year old birthday, one of the huge ones. Have fun planning and prepping and enjoy every moment of it.
Does the roadrunner 5k count as a race?? Weekend plan is to run with TnT both Sat and Sun but we will see how my legs feel.
Look at her with that backpack!! She is too freaking cute! (I can’t wait for their first day of school!)
I can’t believe Ben will be one in 2 weeks! Where does the time go? And so bittersweet that they are starting daycare soon!
OMG, your babies are so cute!!! Sorry to hear about your allergy issues. Hopefully you’re able to figure that all out soon!! You just can’t be allergic to running!
Love the photo of your son – too cute! Snap shot of the week: smile face, birthday cake, little arms around my neck after being away for 2 days. No racing for me but I am playing in a soccer tournament {speed training} 🙂 Have a great weekend.
the kiddos are ADORABLE! and i’m glad you got that 4 mile run in. sorry to hear about your asthma attack 😦
Allergy attacks are no fun! So sorry you had to deal with them, but glad the rest of the week seemed ok for you. Those are some great 4 miles! Enjoy your son’s birthday party. I bet that year flew by.
No races this weekend, but the training plan has 4 miles scheduled, and I’m hoping to sign up for the gym and get some brief laps done in the pool – which will be interesting, as I haven’t done laps since highschool gym class haha.
Ugh, so sorry about the allergy attacks! Glad you got back out there, that would have been a big mental block otherwise. I love this snapshots of the week idea! And your kids are adorable. 🙂
OMG! Your kids are the cutest!!! ❤ xoxo
So so so so glad to hear that your run on wednesday was great!
i was just thinking about you this afternoon and wondering how everything was going. Glad to pop over and see this update! 🙂
PS: How stinkin cute are your kids?! Ahh!
Your kids are adorable. I hope they love daycare 🙂
I also had a slow workout week! I’m glad you were able to get back into running though after what happened earlier this week. Hopefully that doesn’t happen again!
I’m sorry to her about the allergic reaction again 😦 I hope the weekend went better. And the photo of your son is adorable!
Adorable pics of the kiddos!! This weekend I threw a bridal shower for one of my friends.
What cute kiddos! I’m glad you got a run after your allergy attack. I really hope you get an answer soon.
