What a week. I am tired! I don’t know what is going on, but I have been so tired lately and snoozing too much on my alarm in the morning. I have never been a snoozer growing up. My alarm goes off, and I get up. Or, my 2nd alarm goes off and that gets me out of bed. But this week I snoozed nearly every day and one morning I even snoozed in my sleep! That has meant that I don’t have enough time for my full workout (5 mi+core) before I need to be home to get ready for my day. Luckily some days I’ve had time to make up for it at lunch, but I need to get better about not snoozing in the future!
Here’s how this week looked:
Sunday: 4.16 mi run, then 3ish miles walking FW had an early soccer game, so I only had time to get in 4 miles before we were out the door. The good news was that the soccer game was only about 1.5 miles away from our house, so instead of driving with B and the rest of the fam, I walked over with GM in the stroller. Since FW has to be at games 30 minutes early, we ended up leaving the house around the same time and I made it to the game early still!
Monday: 5.1 mile run plus core workout. I unfortunately didn’t make it to the kids’ xcountry practice – it got moved earlier, and B had to take the kids. So, I was stuck with just a run in the morning and some core work.
Tuesday: 4.54 mi run plus core workout, and 3 total miles walking (1 before work, 2 at lunch) I snoozed a little too much to get in a full 5 miles and a core workout, and opted instead to just get in what I could. This evened out to 4.5 miles of running after my 8 min ab video. Then, I was able to get in a 1 mile walk with GM before work, and then another 2 miles at lunch.
Wednesday: 5.16 miles run, then ~3 miles walking (am and lunch). I once again snoozed too much to get in a core workout and 5 mile run. Since I had opted to do the core workout Tuesday, I opted to run today. After the bus stop drop off, I walked 1 mile with GM, who just wants to “run run run” these days – he ran for about .5 mi on and off, and then we walked/I carried him home. Then, I had some unexpected time open up around lunch, so I was able to get in my core workout then, plus another 2 mile walk in.
Thursday: 4.05 miles run, core work and ~3 miles walking (am and lunch again). Another snooze morning, but this time I snoozed in my sleep and didn’t get out of bed until MUCH later! This meant I only had time for 4 miles and nothing else. After the bus stop, I got in a walk with GM and we made it about 2 miles before he had to go to school/I had to get to work. Then, I got in a 1 mile walk and 8 min ab video at lunchtime again.
Friday: 5.5 miles running in the daytime! I don’t get in many daytime runs, but was able to fit one in after the bus picked up the kids for school on Friday. I was so grateful to get outside and run during daylight and stopped to take photos along the way.

Saturday: 3.57 mile stroller run I took GM out with the stroller and he was actually excited to go in there with his breakfast while I ran. We didn’t have time for much, because as soon as I was done, it was time for FW’s soccer, then LM’s soccer, then FW’s piano lesson.

Total mileage: 31.97 mi
Questions for you:
- Do you hit snooze?
- How many alarms do you have set in the morning?
