Can summer just last forever? Please?
I know, I profess my love for summer at least once a month. But as it goes by so fast, I can’t help but wish it would last longer. The sleeping in, sunny mornings and ice/snow-less weather is the best for running!
It was a good week activity and family-wise. I got in some runs nearly every day, got in my longest run since half marathon training, and we celebrated my son’s 2nd birthday!
Here’s what the week looked like:
Sunday: 7.07 miles.This was my longest run since the Cleveland Half Marathon and I was glad to get outside and get it in! I woke up and got out before anyone in the house was up, which made my day get off to a great start.
Monday: 5.01 miles miles run plus core workout, then short (15 min) swim later in the day. I got in my run and core workout as usual. Then, instead of B taking the kids to swimming lessons (as what usually happens), I did! And while they swam I watched about half their lessons, then did about 15 minutes of laps. It was tiring — I can’t remember the last time I did that!
Tuesday: 4.08 mile run plus longer core workout. Pretty standard run and core workout, but just a little longer core workout than usual.
Wednesday: 4.02 mile run plus core workout, plus 2 mile walk later in the day. I got in my run as planned, and during lunch break got in a nice two mile walk. It was a great mid-day break!
Thursday: 4.26 miles and quick core workout. I could not stop snoozing this day! Wednesday nights are busy – we have baseball and swimming lessons for the kids, and we decided to go out for ice cream at the end of the day. I started with a walk and then decided.I would finish with a run. I went to some of the nearby trails that I enjoy and was happy to start my morning off this way.

Friday: 4.03 mile run plus core workout in the morning and 2ish miles walking later I got up early before enjoying a day at home with the kiddos. After working, we spent some time at a small kids gym, which they loved. GM loved the mini kids treadmill!
Saturday: 3.51 miles plus 2ish walking – I got up early to run before everyone in the house was awake – we had plans to walk to breakfast and I wanted to be up and out the door early so nobody was hangry. After a short run and quick shower, we were out the door around 8. It was GM’s birthday, and we spent the day celebrating him. I can’t believe he is 2!

Total mileage: 31.99 miles run
Questions for you:
- Can you walk to food places/restaurants where you live?
- If you were at 31.99 mi would you run .01 more?
