Stay In The Mile...

I was so grateful to be able to run today. As excited as I am about what's in store this week, today was mentally draining. So I started my run with a "stay in the mile and enjoy the moment" mindset and I finished it thinking "run until you see sub-10"...

I'm still a bit away from my one mile PR, but hopefully I can get back there before May 20th this year...

Obligatory post-run selfie 😉...

I'm purposely keeping my mileage low/slow this week because I don't want a relapse of coughing spasms before I go on my mini-vacation this weekend. I'm going on a long awaited romantic getaway where the weekend doesn't revolve around a race or a work trip. Instead we get to spend time together in person rather than our usual M.O...

(😍 so excited!!! 😍)

Today I spent some time thinking about my running journey over the past year. I tend to do that a lot, especially when I'm thinking about the progress (or lack of) I've made. Last year this time I had just finished my first half marathon relay with my friend Niqui...

{Race Recap}

We did a road trip up to Sarasota with our kids and we had a great time running that event because it really is a beautiful race course. Niqui's portion of the race had the bridge (which she had to run twice) so I think I enjoyed my section more 😉. I'm kind of disappointed that I'm not doing Sarasota again this year, but I have enough race related travel for 2017. It's definitely a race worth running again though (maybe next year).

Since tomorrow is "Pi day" (which, by the way, I didn't know was a thing until today) my running group is doing 3.14 miles for our mid-week training run. I tried to convince them to start at 3:14am but nobody else thought that would be cool 😂.

How was your Monday?

Have you ever done a half marathon (or another race distance) relay? What was your team name?

What's your ideal romantic weekend getaway?
