Heyyyyyyyyy! How are youuuuu? I hope your (last) week went very well -- it seems like several of us blogging--runners are in a rut with running, blogging, or both. *Group hug* because for real, we're all in this together. I'm hoping to read some great news from y'all today, and if not, I'll read as a *listener* (sometimes that's all we need -- someone to just listen).
Last week went pretty well for me. I'm not sure if that 10K got the stick out of my butt, but I had a solid training week. Windy had a wonderful week, too, in smashing her weekly mileage PR!
Monday started off with a solo spin with heavy climbs.
And it was finally cold enough for me to open up my hot chocolate drawer at school! Work husband and I enjoyed a cup during our prep -----> perfect.
RANDOM but AWESOME pairing:
Tuesday morning brought on a rainy, cold run with Windy. 3.17 soppy miles, and Windy didn't even mind getting all wet.
Another awesome pairing:
Wednesday was another Windy run.
Thursdays are my rest day, and thus, are all about the giggles.
Friday was finally here, which left Windy and I with another 5K.
It was also our Halloween fun fair at my school! Specials Teachers (me on the left, work husband in the middle [he's 6.5], and our Art Teacher on the right) stick together on things like this: We were Rock, Paper, Scissors this year. For some reason, I thought that scissors should look angry and raw!
Windy and I got up early to rock out a four-miler. It was so crisp and beautiful out, and I believe I spied a few snowflakes.
Harry cheered me on from home. <3
My second job = a sports administrator for my school district, so I get to go to all of the fun things on the weekends, such as our City Championships for Cross-Country.
Most of these days include a lunch I can eat right out of the box, and Starbucks doesn't disappoint.
We had Sophs this weekend (though we didn't go ANYWHERE -- Harry was feeling crummy, I felt pretty cold, and I think Sophs just felt like being lazy), but we kept with tradition =
Hot chocolate + "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown". I felt like expressing my true feelings for Lucy by way of Snapchat.
Sunday morning was to bring my longest run in quite a while, and finish out my biggest weekly mileage week in over a year. I figured that this called for a totally new playlist.
So much Olafur Arnalds. He's my music bae.<3
It was cold and sunny outside, and the new running tunes did their job! Feeling motivated and strong after I finished, I celebrated (after taking a looooong, hot shower) by taking two naps over the course of four hours.
What do you think we should pair with this? A tasty stout? Steamed milk? Double up with hot cocoa?

ReplyDeleteGreat costume--when my sister and I were in Palm Springs we saw a great rock, paper, scissors sculpture!
Lunch in a box is better than something else in a box, if you know what I mean ;D
ReplyDeleteThe costumes came out so well! AND I NEED THOSE OREOS
