I Crashed The Web

We had another fun and busy week here. From work events to block parties to birthday parties, it was full, and I was glad to be able to get in a few runs and workouts when I could. Now that fall is officially here, I’m trying to soak up every last week of the warmish/fall-like weather while we have it!

Here’s what the week entailed: 

Sunday:  4.83 mi stroller run/walk with GM. I started out on a run, and then he dropped his sock and he fell asleep so I went on a walk while he slept, looking for the sock and then the bottle top he dropped. Ended at almost 5 and he got in a nice short nap!

The day also included a walk with the kiddos to a nearby toy store for a cool event with their school. And then we had our block party for some more walking and outdoor enjoyment. FW rode his bike for about 2 hours and got a face full of whipped cream (among other fun stuff) so I know he had a good time.

Monday:   5.02 miles and DR workout. Also caught this gorgeous sunrise!

Tuesday: 4.5 miles and was able to run during the daytime. See the spiderweb on the bottom left of this photo? Had to capture a photo during my run.

Wednesday:  0 miles – instead I did a longer DR workout and then an arm workout. I had slipped on one of GM’s toys Tuesday evening, and sprained/stubbed my big toe. I iced it Tuesday and decided it was probably best to rest for at least a day. Since it was still hurting when I woke up, I opted to do a different workout.  

During the day, I spent it with my work team and we participated in somethign called the “Take Flight” training, where they end up identifying each person as a different type of bird for your personality. I ended up being a Parrot/Dove, but mostly Parrot. Maybe because I’m somewhat talkative? It reminded me somewhat of the tetramap training I did several years ago, where I was a “fire” personality – very similar to parrot!

Thursday: Toe was feeling a little better, but not 100%, so I opted for a shorter run than the 5 miles I had planned. I did 3.21 miles and a DR workout.  I set out to do 2, but I just kept going. Whoops!

Friday:  5.26 miles during daylight! I didn’t have any early meetings, so I got in a run after taking FW to the bus stop and was still able to be at work on time. I was grateful to sleep a little in and also get in some nicer than usual views (see below for the neighborhood I love to run through – they have a great pond!):

Saturday:   3.1 mi and then soccer for FW, dance for LM and our next door neighbor’s birthday party which included almost 2 mi of walking to and from. It was a full, but fun day!

Total: 25.92 mi running

Some questions for you:

• Does your neighborhood have block parties?
• Have you done any personality tests? Which ones and what are you?
