Between summer going by so fast, and all of my kids having birthdays within the past few months, I can’t help but feel that time is flying by too fast. Can we just slow down time, just a little?
While my running pace has slowed down as I’ve gotten older, the pace of time seems to just keep going, and sometimes too fast. I’m grateful to still be out there and able to run, but really wish I could see some of my faster paces again!
As summer winds down, I can already feel the days getting shorter and as a bonus, I’m getting to catch a few gorgeous sunrises in the morning.
Here’s what the week looked like:
Sunday: 4.04 miles. I wanted to get in some miles before my parents hit the road, so I got out a little early, and headed back early.
Monday: 4.14 miles miles run plus core workout. After such a fun long weekend, it was hard to get up and back into the routine. We had a weekend of birthday parties, dinners out, family visits, and lots of fun.
Tuesday: 4.01 mile run plus longer core workout. Pretty standard run and core workout, but just a little longer core workout than usual.
Wednesday: 5.13 mile run plus core workout, plus 1.5 mile walk later in the day. I got in my run as planned, and was happy to get in 5 miles after a few days of just 4. During my lunch break, I got in a nice 1.5 mile walk. It was HOT out but I was glad to get outside.
pink skies in morning …
Thursday: 4.26 miles and quick core workout, then 1.5 mile walk later in the day. I could not stop snoozing this day! Thursdays I’m pooped and this morning was no exception. Wednesday night we had some crazy storms come in and they kept me up – but thankfully nobody else in the house seemed to wake up so I was able to get back to sleep eventually. But when my alarm went off I was dragging! I ended up convincing myself to go out for a walk, and then of course it turned into a slow run.
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: 2.6 treadmill miles plus 2 m walk– I had set my alarm to run outside early before a birthday party we had at 9 a.m., but instead was woken up to torrential downpours, thunder and lightning at 5 a.m. I tossed and turned for a few, and finally got out of bed at 6:30 to hit the treadmill … when all the kids decided to get up to. By the time I finally got them up, changed and then downstairs, I only ended up with about 20 minutes for my run before having to get ready for the day. Thankfully the rain stopped in the afternoon, and I was able to get in a 2 mile walk.
Total mileage: 27.91 miles run
Questions for you:
- When was the last time you ran on a treadmill?
- What streaming shows/movies are you watching these days?
