Today consisted of sickness and a long run. The dreaded head cold is going through our house. I have been lucky enough to have bypassed the last few sicknesses that went through the house. This time it got me first. I was knocked down for a good 48 hours. It was probably the worst head cold I have had in forever. I contemplated a run yesterday, because you always hear that if it’s in your head exercise can help. Well I finally decided I felt so awful that I went to bed at 6:30 instead.  Today I’m just a little stuffy, but the foggy mind and sore throat are gone!…

Started the day with a morning workout, ended the day Disney. Solid day.  4:15am wake up call. I definitely had the internal struggle this morning of if I wanted to get up or take the day as my rest day and run tomorrow instead. I decided that after a day at Disney I’m going to want the morning off tomorrow.  Three treadmill miles with some at tempo pace. I’m adding in some speed throughout my base training, to avoid getting bored and keep my body ready for some turn over. In the past that has worked well for me. Anything small I can add that will keep me moving along…

Today was beyond a great day. Our oldest turned four today. We gave him an extra special day and it made my heart happy.  He woke up to balloons and presents! I think he was most excited for the balloon!  Then we went to a restaurant that allows you to make your own pancakes. Our little guy loved it!  He then got to go to Five Below and pick out a toy. He choose trash trucks. Not surprisingly. We are in a huge trash truck phase.  Later in the day I snuck away for a 2.5 mile run. I decided to run on the treadmill today to make sure I…

We stayed up a little later than normal to watch the Super Bowl and let the kids play late. I opted for an afternoon run and shut the alarm off. Everyone slept till about 6pm. I’ll take it. Seems like every time I turn my alarm off everyone sleeps in. When I set my alarm everyone is up early!  We spent the morning playing around the Kennedy Space Center. The kids had a blast. Then they fell asleep on the way home and took three hour naps! Amazing!  After naps we went and ran around the playground for an hour and then I got ready to head out for my…

The morning started off nice and slow, and ended with three beach miles. We all finally got a good night sleep so it started off great!  We started the morning with some relaxing and watching a movie, the topped off the morning with some cinnamon rolls. Solid Morning!  After the last few days, my stomach is screaming at me. I need to get back in control of my diet. Nutrition has and always k as will be my struggle.  After a relaxing morning we did some cleaning and watched some more movies. After a pretty rough week, it was nice to have a day to decompress.  I snuck out around…

Toddler Life, it’s wild. They are trying to kill me this week. We started our day around 12:45am. I am still not even sure what caused the wake up. Which pretty much sums up mom life right! We had a little slumber party on the couch until it was decided that 4:45 would be the time to start playing cars. I did not make that decision!  It goes without saying, that my morning run was again cancelled. Do you think they know that I just set giant goals for myself and this week was week one for big training? 🤦‍♀️.  Mom life comes first so we played and cuddled the morning…
