Hello! How’s it going? It’s the last day of POTM for this week! Are you rocking it? Are you barely getting by? Are you quitting? NO, you’re not quitting.
We are in it together for another week. Whatever your goal is – get it done. This is the last push before the holidays and busier times and colder weather and a ton of other excuses that make it hard to stay active. But you promised yourself and the other POTMers that you’d show up and do it.
I had a challenging morning because I found myself in Florida! Wait. That’s not the challenging part.
I flew out yesterday and got here last night. For some reason I woke up at 4am eastern time, which is 1am California time?! I decided to just get up and wait for the sun to rise so I could run.
But, I don’t know how to use the coffee maker here so I just paced back and forth stressing about life for a while until I remembered I brought a bunch of packets of Spark.
I usually take these mid-morning or early afternoon even though I feel like most people drink them pre-workout or in the morning instead of coffee. I switched it up out of necessity and it worked.
Moral of the story – the Spark saved the day and helped me rally / stall for two and a half hours before I got out to run.
After a good 8 miles I hit up Dunkin Donuts to get my coffee fix.
This evening I went to a rehearsal dinner for Jon and Corey who are getting married tomorrow! I feel like some people are always going to weddings, but I don’t have any friends so this is an exciting weekend. The food was great and the weather is great too. Here’s hoping tomorrow and every day after that will be awesome!
I did my first Boomerang on Instagram stories. Check it out if you follow me 🙂
Running and Eating and Podcasting news…

No running – but I did walk 30,000 steps around Disneyland!
5 miles this morning
Ran 6.4 miles with my husband. It was a beautiful morning!
I love your dress! Where is it from??
Thanks! I bought it from Marshall’s but it’s by Anne Taylor.
Yesterday I ran 5 miles on pres trail in Eugene!
Ran 4 miles. walked 5 miles with my husband.
I ran 7.1 miles today! In the snow. It was awesome!!
3.5 miles for me today.
Florida sounds amazing right now, because I ran 11(.25) miles outside today & it was…. wait for it…. 36* (25* with windchill). WHAT!? I sucked it up because that will soon seem like a warm winter day by comparison, and I don’t want to be inside until May lol. I was actually surprised by my pace, which sped up quite a bit compared to how its been lately 🙂 WOO!
12km this afternoon
My workout today was 8 or so hours of emptying our basement an reorganizing. Phew!
spin class!
My toenail has healed and I am back at it!
Today was an endurance day at Orangetheory and afterwards I attended a running clinic. I am exhausted.
7.5 with my daughter today! She’s training for her first marathon – Shamrock in March 🙂
Enjoy Florida!
100 minutes on the elliptical.
Today was a 1 hour spin class followed by a 1 hour boxing class. Then cooking an early Thanksgiving for 3 hours. Pheeeewwww, bedtime!
I was able to run the trail run I wanted to do today — it was hillier than in years past and they forced you to go through water, normally you can avoid it. It was still a fun time!
I got 15,000 steps in today. I worked with a running coach for the first time today! He had me skipping, too, Monica! We ran five fast (for me) miles and he gave me some great tips. I am going to work with him again in February/March as I begin to train for my first half marathon. Thanks for mentioning a running coach! I had never heard of that. I really had a good experience.
elliptical study session
It got COLD in MN, so today were the first 5 treadmill miles of the winter season. Pitch (the new drama about the first female MLB pitcher) was my running distraction.
Rest day! (as much as a day looking after a four year old, a six year old, and a golden retriever can be called rest)
Walked all over D.C. visiting my sister. Not sure of the exact miles, but definitely an active day.
Rest day – lots of stretching!
I did 7 miles today. I’m trying to catch up on some lost miles from earlier in the week. I only have 5 more miles to make up after today. Well…that’s on top of the 3 a day goal I made for myself. I gots this!
6.5 miles for me and did light shoulders too.
I lifted some weights with my 15 year old. I did 5 miles on the treadmill followed by 2 hours of raking leaves.
Crossfit!
Half marathon!
I ran five miles today on a treadmill. It was a bit boring, so I listened to some Christmas music to liven things up.
Yoga this morning.
I ran 3 miles!
Today is a rest day before my half marathon tomorrow!
I ran a quick 5 miles this morning before rushing to meet my old nanny boss!
Just got back from traveling for work and still got my miles in. That. Was. Tough.
But worth it!!!
This morning was a light 20 minute recovery run. Totaled 1.86 miles. Thursday is my first ever 10k and I am so stoked! But today was the last day of my training plan and I don’t know what to do till Thursday! I’m thinking some intervals on Monday, rest Tuesday and an easy run Wednesday. What do you all think?
30 minutes on the treadmill.
5.99 miles… seriously? I don’t run with a watch so I didn’t know until I stopped…oh well.
A 7.5 mile run this morning that I was completely overdressed for. And where I found myself running on a path in the opposite direction as a 5k race at one point. (At least I split off before the bulk of the pack came through!)
8 miles is the cold this morning, it snowed here this afternoon!
Today I ran 2 to round out my 13 miles for the week! According to run keeper, I am at 40.5 miles!!! Awesome!! So close to my 50 mile goal!! So excited!

I couldn’t quite work up the motivation to run today…it was 32 degrees and snow/rain mix. For the record, it was 71 degrees yesterday. #MichiganWeather.
I went to the gym instead and got in some Tabatas with split squat jumps, kettlebell swings, planks, and mountain climbers.

My walk was cut short this morning by rain that I wasn’t prepared for. But will hit the treadmill this afternoon to finish up my miles
Yesterday was yoga!
I hit the gym early today so it would happen and I’ll take the dog on a short (probably 1.5 mile) walk later today!
A beautiful fall morning, 7 mile run! I look forward to Saturday long runs so much! 56/75 almost there!
Rest day today.
I ran 8 miles this morning. I only have 8 more miles to reach POTM goal of 173.4 miles and my Run the year goal of 2016 miles. I’ll start working on my happy dance now, so I don’t mess it up when it counts:)
Hopefully getting on the elliptical later but I know that I’m definitely going to be walking a ton while apartment hunting
Today is a 10k to celebrate a friend’s bday!
Off to do a 5k trail race now.
17.5 run, off to coach, then finish up with 2.5 for an even 20!
Plans for hiking with the kids today.
So fun for you to run in Florida to mix up your week a bit.
Rest day but I should do some stretching and foam rolling.

Long walk outside…today is the last day of warm weather. Winds and cold come in late afternoon…misery!

Friday was a rest day, so it’s cold and rainy today & I have a hair appt @ the mall so I think I’ll do some mall walking. Or gym for tread.
Not quite sure yet – I’ll be setting up horse jumps for a few hours, so I think I’ll just have that weight-lifting workout today!
