Well, after some wonderfully warmish, clear December weather to kick off the month, this week brought cold and ice and snow. I know I shouldn’t complain because it is December in Cleveland, but I hate when the weather interferes with my running plans 🙂 That said, I had a good week, thanks to my treadmill, Christmas movies and Netflix. The kiddos also started their holiday break, which meant I was even able to sleep in one day because I didn’t have to get the kiddos up early!
Here’s how the week looked:
Sunday: 3.4 treadmill miles – I usually like to get in a longer run on Sunday, but I got on the treadmill and at 3 miles B texted me to let me know he was leaving to go to the Browns game in 30 minutes, a few hours earlier than I had thought. So I quickly hopped off so that I could shower and watch the kids while he got ready. Then, I had all day with the kiddos! We stayed inside because it was cold and rainy, but made do with some holiday movies and baking. And, the Browns won!
Monday: 5.02 miles and core work – After a rainy and cold Sunday, I woke up to a drizzly Monday morning. I knew we were supposed to get some more rain and snow later in the day, so I put on a hat and ran in the drizzle.
Tuesday: 7.13 treadmill miles and core work – I struggled to get out of bed, but made it happen and got in 5 miles on the treadmill before everyone was out the door. At lunchtime, I felt like I needed a little activity, but it was too icy to get outside for a walk like I would have done a week earlier. So, I opted for another short treadmill run, bringing the total to 7.13 for the day.
Wednesday: 7.1 treadmill miles and a little longer core work – I had some extra time in the morning, and was glad to use it on a longer treadmill run (with some walking) and longer core workout.
Thursday: 5.2 treadmill miles and core work – I was home with the big kids, and got in a treadmill run while they had some screen time.
Friday: 5.02 miles OUTSIDE and 2.6 mile walk – I got in an early run before the big kids woke up and B left the house – yay for no treadmill! The streets were finally ice free. Then, the kids and I got outside for a walk to and from the bakery and library – it was great to get outside with them!
Saturday: 4.25 treadmill – On Saturdays, I usually get to run during the daylight, but I woke up to rain and wanted to get in an early run while the kids were home so I hopped on the treadmill for a quick, short run before a busy day that entailed a double piano lesson, cookie drop offs to friends and grocery shopping for the holidays!
And my only photo is of cookies because treadmill pics are boring and we did a lot of baking the past few weeks. There’s more not pictured!
Total mileage: 37.12 mi
Merry Christmas Eve to those who celebrate. Who can believe that next week my weekly run down will also be a year-end recap?!
Questions for you:
- Are you doing anything to celebrate tonight?
- If you celebrate Christmas, did you grow up opening gifts on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day?
I am linking up with Deborah and Kim for the Weekly Run Down.
